Anyone been to Tokyo Disneyland or Disneysea recently? I joined a facebook group about Tokyo TDL/TDS planning and everyone is tallking about buying the Premier Pass, etc or staying at the partner hotels to skip the lines. One even claimed that they were unable to have a sit down meal because all restaurants were fully booked, as early as 1 month prior! Is it really that crazy now?

My one week winter Sapporo review

Snow fes are meh, people (mostly tourists) everywhere, roads are super slippery and hard to walk. Almost fall for a few times too. Foods at the event are super duper expensive. IMO see photos on soc med way nicer compared to going to the festival itself. Will probably not go again in the future.

A lot of parks are closed during winter time, beer garden is boring but some of the museums are quite interesting. Going from one place to another is super duper far but that is expected from Hokkaido.

For me the most disappointing is genghis khan at daikokuya. Way too overhyped. The lamb is almost tasteless and the secret sauce is just salty… both soup curry and butter corn ramen are just ok. Ironically the best food I had while here is mcd black pepper nuggets. Also don’t know why they call kaarage as zangi here lol

Saw a lot of bad behaviours prc and hk ppl, have talked to my guesthouse owner and some locals and all of them hate c country ppl but luckily they seem to like Malaysians

Moving on to asahikawa next monday, hopefully the zoo won’t disappoint

i went to Disneysea in 2022 after JP reopen from covid, all i can say is prepare for the horde and rush

even with premier passes, you need to queue hours. i didnt and i queued 3hrs for one ride average wait time per ride/show is around 1hr+

same goes for makan place, but the wait is not as bad as the rides

damn, the flu season as usual. take care

i took the jab just as precaution before my trip end of this month, alot of friends and family asked me to

thats pretty much what i think of Sapporo also, mostly international based tourists than local tourists. heh you didnt prepare for those slippery snowy walks with those microspikes on shoes/boots? if this is Tokyo or major city you shouldnt need but Hokkaido man, the snow is intense

ill be in Nagano region end of this month, and i already prepared alot of winter walking gear maybe cause ill be closer to mountainside

bolded part is as usual from China tourists, but do remember before stigmatising them. japan sees a tonne of PRC tourists so the chances of seeing them being an arse are insanely high and outnumbers the good china tourists

I did used winter based shoe but still insanely slippery everywhere. The snow has been intense for the past few days and will likely worsen until next Thursday according to my guesthouse owner. I went to otaru today and man can’t even walk straight most of the time, the wind and snow just blow into your face, plus with an insane amount of ppl I went back earlier and still the train was packed like sardine.

Good luck on your trip to nagano

Most of the prc tourists that I saw are just bad, leaving trays on the table after eating and not cleaning up, talking loudly everywhere, standing centre on the escalator, kids playing at the food court and so forth. No wonder jap ppl hate them so much. Even as a foreigner I was smh.

damn means its gonna be same for me also, need be careful when walking around. moisturise and cover face gao2 to otherwise skin peel off, freeze burns and so on

yah their really bad are really bad kind no manners make you want to slap them in the face for being such dicks

Hahaha just a week and my body looks like going through warzone, skin peel off, leg bruises, muscle pain etc

Going to Fukuoka this July, 13 to 16 4 nights solely for food trips. Any recommendation in Fukuoka summer time? Exploring food is our main priority, so interesting place will be our extra bonus, definitely will go for Pokemon center since my friends and I are Pokemon fans.

KL any recommended JPY exchange currency? So far I only heard Midvalley has the highest exchange rate.

Go on wednesday or thursday less but still lot of people, disneyland only beauty&beast n pooh got long queue 120-180 minute, when got parade lesser people queue, for disneysea most of the rides 120-180minute wait, fantasy spring i dont know how its works only manage to buy premier pass for peterpan ride..it is crazy

Most of Fukuoka food gathered at Tenjin Area. Famous Yatai also around Tenjin area.

Well the zoo was a disappointment, only 3 penguins walking 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

First 2 nights we are staying near Kushida shrine, which I considered lucky since Tenjin area is just the area beside, a lot famous food like you mentioned and exactly our priority for this food hunt trip. I am looking for next 2 nights accommodation, might be planning to go further.

asahikawa zoo?

was it crowded?

Yup, a bit crowded but still manageable to walk around. Just some section like penguins and polar bears have more ppl compared to other animals.

Hi guys planning to rent a car in Sapporo in early December of this year, will the snow be heavy and what should I look out for?

Snow will be heavy. Make sure you get 4WD car.

Will be driving 7 pax. What vehicle to recommend ya? Plan to rent an Alphard but don't think its 4WD.

Drive slowly and carefully if not experienced, roads will be very slippery. Heard from locals a lot of car accidents caused by foreigners.

If you can't get 4WD....dont rent the car. Accident rate very high without 4WD. Dont play play.
Go by Tour / Bus / Train

Second the above during recent trip to tokyo. The look and glare given whenever they noticed u speak mandarin or canto is too obvious and u get that almost everywhere. Not only that. level of treatment given as well. However if your communicate in english or once they know that u are not from prc, the whole shebang goes away immediately.

Really cannot brain why these prcs are behaving in such a manner, uncivilized and causing hate among the locals almost everywhere around the world.
