How small is the kid? If the Kid passport are stick to parent passport that kind, no need.
If the kid got own passport, the procedure are same as Adult. Upload the vaccine certificate thru mysos
*
primary school age but 2shots vaccine no booster. Still can upload?
Also mysos can carry user and his kids data as in 1 phone? since my kids dun have their own phone

Ic, thanks, can I just download the app to explore first???
Cos the video mentioned only fill in few hours before flight sweat.gif

MySOS fast lane must had 3 shot. Your kid either take another booster shot or do PCR test.
Either way, You should call Japan Embassy for 100% confirm

Alright thanks, cos from the video u posted, it did mentioned kids under 18 travel with parents no need PCR test but did not mentioned about pre -reg, hence the confusion.
anyway will call up when i intend to fly. Thanks

QUOTE(sben525 @ Oct 11 2022, 12:30 PM)
i think no need vaccine or PCR test for those less than 18 years old if they go with parents

Planning a trip in Feb 2024. In the mid of looking for snow resort at Nagano/Toyama area.

Found a resort called Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort. Seems like an ideal resort since I will be travelling with kids.
Are there any similar resorts where the snow is easily accessible (ski slopes right in front of resort), acitivities for kids, indoor/open-air onsen,..

Thank you.

Same plan for Feb 24, but im going to Karuizawa instead, abt an hr train ride from Tokyo

I started filling in 3 months before my flight, then just update when necessary

Remember to complete it and take a screenshot of the QR code before your flight

I filled in 1 month before flying. I think their response quite fast, two to three working days you get response from them.

Any idea if kids without phone can fill thru this?

may i check with you if you're going to buy osaka unlimited pass from klook? or there's better option out there?

and see you there biggrin.gif

Im planning to get Tokyo Horikuri Arch Pass as my return flight will be in Tokyo & I will be going to Karuizawa.
In osaka, I yet goes into detail on the routes but the plan is maybe get metro day pass like in Tokyo & utilise existing Suica if needed.
I got 2 days to fill for Osaka that yet determined as I've been scrolling thru for info. Maybe will just go for day trip that can use the Pass like Kobe

Was planning to utilise Hokuriku Arch Pass to Tokyo from Osaka but it seems the Thunderbird from Osaka to Kanazawa & certain sections of Hokuriku Shinkansen are cancelled.
Usually how long the routes are closed for repairs due to earthquake?

Other than this pass, any better option that can take? Journey will be from Osaka - Tokyo - Karuizawa - Tokyo

Japan speed. April.......fastest. If more than April , 2025.
JR rail pass are only pass that cover Tokyo - Osaka part....but price increase, not worth it....you only travel one way.
Why must train? Take express bus.

Initially thought of using Hokuriku Arch Pass To travel Osaka (& vicinity like kanazawa /kobe) - tokyo -karuizawa so it was the most economical.
Wiler midnite Express bus for 3 seater cost abt RM100 less than bullet train hence tot of using train to save time as my accomodation all fixed.

Is it ok to drive ard Hakone area Lake Kawaguchi/Yamanaka/ etc if 1st time driving in winter. Wont be full snowy road is it? sweat.gif
Saw Toyota rent a car abt 9k yen incld insurance & i can drive at my own time & place. Pick up at Kawaguchiko Shop near the train station & drop off same

Damn, and I thought Shibuya Sky is new, because it never really pops up in past experience of searching through attractions. But it sure sounds good, and all those IG reels/ photos made it look like worthwhile experience. Will try to make time for it anyway.
Alright there, sounds good. Thanks for the input. Probably from Airport -> Hotel i'll get the Limousine bus if able to make it. Based on their timetable can see they don't have many frequency of buses, hopefully it isn't full. Just worried about the common things like flight delay and thus ended up arriving late and couldn't catch the bus on time.

What it doesnt show is the q to take pic on one of the 4 corners tongue.gif
Esp if u unlucky met those "influencer/socmed" addicts lol
The one in front of me took pic as if she's in studio, complete with checking the photos then not satisfied go re take more shakehead.gif
But I enjoy there as there's indoor/outdoor & the view can even see Mt Fuji if u lucky.
Though if u been to those high place like Skytree then i think the 'wow' factor will be lesser

P/s : the lift is an experience in itself tongue.gif

Day 7 - 8- Local tour to Ginzan
Day 9 - Tokyo vicinity
day 10 - Gala Yuzawa
Day 11 & 12 - any suggestion? flight on midnite day 12 so have almost fullday can utilise.

My question is

2) Haneda bus only go kawaguchi on weekend???
3) Advisable to spend a nite in Gala Yuzawa?
