I will check both out for lunch, regardless if there is a queue or not, I will likely go to Aidaya. I might return to Ramen Kamo to Negi geh if I abandon my dinner plan of trying Tsujita Akihabara.

I never tried Kombu water tsukemen before, but with your recommendation I'm more likely to try. In Shinjuku, if I'm craving tsukemen it is Fu-unji (they make an insanely good sardine broth).

Ohayo, I am wondering, if reach Haneda Airport late ie. 12AM, what travel option do i have? Seems like train start at 5am.

has anyone done shikoku?

Limousine Bus Or Taxi.
Late Night Early Morning Limousine Bus got 4 buses leaving Haneda at 0030 , 0100, 0130 , 0200

See my signature. From Yonaguni all the way to Wakkanai.

hello everyone, wonder if im going to Osaka coming June, what should i take note?

any member here got previous experience can share and possibly also Point of Interest, and street food locations to share

Just came back from our 6-day DIY tokyo trip,100% public transport, including excursions to kawaguchiko & nikko. Everything is as planned except a few pts of interest that we simply too tired to go haha.

We managed the infamous peak-hour shinjuku station quite well too. No wrong platform or train encountered 😂

auto. If you book with the same booking no & same airline, its always auto. But no harm in getting the assurance with them when you check your luggage in at the counter

Not much to do at the airport although the T1 International airport looks quite new. Lots of small restaurants including burger king & enough chairs to rest. Can try & buy vietnamese coffee too. Good thing is that the next departure gate will not be as far although you are likely to be taking the bus to & from the plane.

Once they move to the new airport it'll be much bigger but very far from domestic connections...

Weather is quite hot, UV index is high, apply sunscreen if you don't want to be burnt if you are always outdoors.

As for the rest of your questions, it's difficult for forummers to recommend specifics if you haven't given them sufficient context. What may appear to be an excellent itinerary for me could be a nightmare itinerary for you.

wait, means there were no jet bridge?

Vietnam Airlines, 70% no aero bridge.

Not enough haha. I saw lots of plane parking away from the gates

I didn't manage to eat ramen at Ueno cos of the queues at Ramen Kamo to Negi and Aidaya : ( The queue at Ramen Kamo to Negi was almost double the length of that at Aidaya when I passed by at 11.15am.

Will definitely be back.

thanks for your reply.

which i agree to your statement "what may appear to be an excellent itinerary for me could be a nightmare itinerary for you.

i mean in general which i need to take note, like the crowd, weather, transportation etc.

Have you visited Japan before? How many times? Where have you visited? If not, what other countries or places you have visited? Which do you like? What is your traveling style or preference? Who do you travel with? These are some of the context that are important before one can provide you a useful reply.

You are asking about crowd levels, transportation complexity and although they could be construed as general questions, it would still be helpful to provide some context. Otherwise the general replies you should expect would swing on a wide spectrum. For people who like visiting big cities/metropolises, Osaka is not difficult to visit. Let me compare Osaka against Tokyo and Yokohama to give you an idea about crowd levels and public transportation complexity. For crowd levels, Tokyo > Yokohama > Osaka. However, if you have only visited Sapporo or Hokkaido and love it there and never visited other prefectures in Japan, you are going to find crowd levels in Osaka very high/busy. For public transportation, if you are able to handle Tokyo train network, Osaka is very manageable. In Tokyo, weekdays are slightly busier than weekends. Weekday rush hours on public transportation in Tokyo are 7.30am-9.30am and 4.30pm-7.30pm whereas weekend rush hours are more staggered not as pronounced as weekday rush hours. Osaka's would be similar but less densely crowded. Even though you find Dotonbori and Umeda crowded, one street or station away from these you'd see significantly less crowds.

Other factors like travel period also affect crowd levels. There are less visitors during summer and the typhoon seasons. Tokyo and Osaka are very walkable cities, so you need not buy transportation passes. However, if you are the type that scoot between 4-5 different areas in a day, then it might make sense for you to buy a metro pass. You should only decide on a metro pass after you finalise your itinerary.

Any comment on going to Hokkaido middle of May?

Just booked ANA for
KUL - NRT - CTS (layover 2 hr 25 min)
CTS - HND - KUL (layover 1 hr 20 min Terminal 2 to 0)

Is the checked baggage automatically transferred? Is 1 hr 20 mins suffiicient for transfer from Terminal 2 to 0 at Haneda?

There are no Terminal 0 in Haneda. "0" means still unknow yet. Too far ahead...Airlines still no yet arrange in system.
It can be Haneda International Terminal 3...It also can be ANA Terminal 2...Now ANA terminal 2 also got International flight.
If Haneda Terminal 2(Domestic) to International Terminal in 1 hour 20 minute...yes enough. Take Monorail or free transit bus

No wonder, search for terminal 0 comes out nothing. What about the checked luggage, usually auto transferred?
