Yea, not much..the best still Nov 15th onwards..too bad and i still thinking whether to go or not..

Our Immigresen sometimes might not allow print material back (h-nt-i ), better to special order from Japan specialty bookstores like Kinokuniya.

Luckily its no that obscene material hahaha .. oh kinokuniya can special order magazine from japan is it.. didnt know that

Btw tq for ur suggestion. Already ordered from kinokuniya 😀😀😀

same wedding day

Ginkaku-ji temple, 27th Oct 2018


didn't go Kyoto last year but this is Nov 17th 2019 near my place at Hakusan.


yea, February is generally the coldest month. but this year winter quite warm, zero snow, temp above 10 deg and above zero at night around my area in Ishikawa
usually Osaka is not really that cold but it won't hurt to over dress a little (beanie, glove)

Great to hear that. BTW I only heard folks done that, never did it myself. Was the price reasonable since you have to special order it?

congratulation bro!!

If i check the price of magazine is 1100 yen comverted about rm40+- right.. i paid rm68 for book plus shipping.. so quite a good deal i guess.. just have to wait they to ship it 😀😀😀😄😄😄😄

Just curious if USJ worth to go? Quite expensive

Keisei Airport train loh only 1200 yen to ueno/asakusa Station.

It depends on you. Do you like theme park or not? For me, I don't like theme park only make me headache and my son only 1 year old. If my son already 6 years old definitely I will go USJ and disneysea

I will say safest bet is 3rd week November. I was in last week Nov but philosopher path already lost its maple leaves.

I did 10days but fly in n out of Narita n didn’t cover Tokyo
Not sure if there’s direct transport from shirakawago to nagano but in this region, I liked takayama and it’s a convenient bus route from Kanazawa - shirakawago - takayama. From takayama can go to shin-hotaka ropeway and hirayu onsen

Which season are you going? There’s also the alpine route if you are not going during winter

My route is narita - nagano - Kanazawa - shirakawago - takayama - Matsumoto - narita
I took the flexible 5 days rail pass. In hindsight, with this rail pass I should have replace Matsumoto with Toyama to save some bus fare. But having said that, Matsumoto castle is gorgeous and should not be missed

Anybody brought elderly to USJ before? Which attraction did they go safely?

The elderly in my party is in her 70s generally healthy without heart condition but got neck ache/problems.

Many attraction listed in the website long list of advisory for guest.

i.e. Terminator 2 3:D
Guests who should not use the attraction
Persons with any of the following conditions: (1) heart conditions, (2) back, neck, or similar conditions, (3) respiratory diseases, (4) convulsions or spasms, (5) expectant mothers, (6) claustrophobia, (7) hypersensitivity to noises, (8) unable to sit up unassisted, and (9) newborn babies.

I thought Terminator is just a show.

Not to say bout which attractions suitable or not but queue alone i think already make them so tired. Or there are special lanes for seniors age?
