Well the zoo was a disappointment, only 3 penguins walking sad.gif A lot of the animals seems depressed too, small cage for them to walk around. Not to mentioned a lot of section are closed too due to winter. Would not recommend unless specially here for the penguins.

Also saw a lot of prc getting scolded for not following the rules biggrin.gif

Has anyone taken ANA transit flight at Haneda/Narita before?

is it true even for connecting flight (eg KL --> Haneda --> Sapporo), you still need to retrieve your check in luggage for immigration inspection at Haneda and then recheck in again to fly to Sapporo

I read this in ANA website
However, when flying into Japan, there is a customs inspection for all arriving passengers regardless of connections to domestic flights. Please pick up your checked baggage at the carousel, go through customs, and then leave the baggage at the domestic transit counter.


in this case, a 1 hour transit time in Haneda is definitely not enough, right?

Hi, anyone here have used trip.com airport transfer before? I’m looking to get a transport for a family of 4 with kids under 2 from Haneda airport to city centre.

Klook seems to be in mixed review, but trip.com can’t seem to see any reviews at all but price looks real good.

But my flight is arriving close to 11pm so can’t risk to engage a service that doesn’t turn up. Any advice?

not in japan, but i used Trip.com in China to engage a taxi driver at the airport to fetch me to the hotel at midnight with a waiting service.

The taxi driver waited for me at the arrival hall with my name on the placard (something like that). The flight arrived late about 30 mins yet the driver is still waiting there.

I intend to use the 10 day Tohoku Pass. Arriving at HND at 21:30 on 30/10 and wanna catch the Tohoku shinkansen the next morning from Tokyo station to Shin Aomori station. Is it advisable to buy the pass online now and reserve a seat on the shinkansen? Or just buy the pass and get the reserved ticket at the JR East office at Tokyo station on 31/10 morning?

Even if I buy and reserve online now, I'll have to pick up at the JR East office at Tokyo station cos my flight arrives after the JR East office at HND tutup.

Also if I activate the pass by first use on the shinkansen on 31/10, I should be able to use it for the trip back to Tokyo on 9/11 right? Double checking cos doubting my counting ability now lol

have u bought the JR pass from the official website? It said u can reserve online in advance from overseas. I want to know if this is true.

What i know is i bought the JR pass previously from an agency (Travel Recommends), so no way to reserve online in advance.

But still, you must pick up the physical card from the JR office in Japan. And the queue can be long depending on which office u go to. I always find the branch office with the less queue.

if you activate on 31/10, it depends on the number of days you bought, if 14 days, then u can still use on 9 November.
