Migrate to the US, join the army, get posted to Japan.

If you are rich enough, the border is already open. Just need to pay a tour guide to follow you everywhere you go (Malaysia is on the blue list).

Prices will skyrocket once borders fully open, and will likely stay sky high for months (if not a year or more) cos of super high revenge travel demand.

Speaking of theme parks, I’m seeing from trip blogs and etc that Disney and USJ is super crowded cos of revenge travel, anyone here who’s visited lately? I see some others say USJ is like 2hr queue for each ride without fast pass.

Wow RIP. Manila airport I haven’t been before but heard that it’s absolute dog water for transit.

kenji1903 is golongan T1 won’t stay the business hotels that have coin laundry one rah.

Haha ok ba. Planning Sakura trip and also trying to figure out if I can do laundry or if I need to pack an entire 2 weeks worth of clothes. And if I can/should fit in winterwear for a gala yuzawa daytrip for the kiddo to experience snow.

What’s the best way to find good restaurants that’ll accept my 3.5 year old? First time going JP with a kid, seems like all my previous experience is useless lol.

Currently browsing tabelog (gaijin version) and enabling the “kids are welcome” and “preschool children are welcome” filters.

kenji1903 already gave you the rough prices what, do you also need us to press them into a calculator for you?

Drive from Tokyo 可以吗? If going to rent car around kawaguchiko anyway (2nights)

Kansai full bloom forecast is 27-28 March so no problem.
Tokyo full bloom forecast is like 4 days from now so by the time you go it will be way past peak liao.

So I am going to fly this Sunday.
Doing last minute checks and realized I booked 2 nights of my hotel ON THE WRONG DATE.
Luckily still more than 3 days only pay 10% cancellation fee.
But rebooking the new nights freaking expensive now.

Just landed in KIX, nighttime arrivals seem very unpopular so immigration and customs were deserted.25 mins from time the aircraft reached the gate, to waiting for airport limo bus queue.

A lot different when you got young kid with you ba (cos of the tons of extra luggage and stuff that you have to bring). Luggage a lot easier to handle lol.

Share random pic, hope you guys n gals having fun! My this trip so far I have learned that the difference between travelling with a young kid and traveling alone is so much bigger than I ever imagined 😵

Depends on your flight arrival timing whether it’s a popular or deserted one also. Last last Sunday night I flew into KIX around 9pm, within 30mins of aircraft reaching gate I’m already queueing for airport limo bus.

But other ppl arriving at 3pm around there took 3 hours to clear everything

Anyway tomorrow is the end of my 1st trip to Japan with a small kid (3 years old) and it’s freaking ridiculous just how different it is from all my previous times where only me and wife. There were some days that I literally only have 2-3 hours of sightseeing time a day, more than 50% of my planning thrown out the window cos even the timing of when you can leave the hotel cannot control accurately one.

tzxsean Tsukiji market relocated to toyosu many years ago lol. Anyway that itinerary feels super generic and “ticking off bucket list” sort, so you’d still need to do a lot more reading to adjust it to your own preferences.

How old is your kid liao ah? Mine was 3, I can confidently say more than 50% of my planning all throw into tong sampah.

So packed, you planning to just touch n go everything meh. Day 1 ... Shinjuku Gyoen itself can easily take up half a day.

My 2 weeks ago Sakura trip around rm45k for 2 adults and a 3 year old.
