Added on February 3, 2012, 11:39 amWah why suddenly there is a surge ppl booking Horidome Villa ..Anyway.. my plan is to take the limousing bus to T-CAT ~ 800M South of T-CAT. Thereafter I'm thinking of walking there.. not far.. I hv been walking further than this elsewhere haha. Taking taxi, Regentcid mentioned earlier 1st KM, 710yen so ~ RM28 to that hotel..abit pricey for such a short distance Also I will be carrying backpack of < 7kg the most..So easy to walk lah.. If on budget, I learnt lesson elsewhere liao - Do not carry luggages. Very difficult to carry esp using subways

I got the info from here:
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2430.html (900yen) but earlier forumer got a specific rate of Yen800 b4 Midnite & Yen 1600 (Worry now) after midnite) He most probably refering to this: http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/bus_servi...aneda/tcat.html But this is only 1 company and I think there are more (HOPEFULLY )

What I mean is Horidome is 800 metre South of T-CAT. you can actually walk to the hotel. From wikimapia/googlemap Wth google earth pgin.. you can see clearly the 3D image of the messy flyovers above T-CAT. I suspect this is T-CAT. i.e below the flyovers beside Park Royal Chou-Ku. So I will use Park Royal as landmark & starting point and walk North (Wth handphone compass haha) towards the hotel

I saw Yen trading at 39.80 on Sunday at Money changers in front of Starbuck BB Plaza & 40.0 at Mid Valley LG ctr court. Elsewhere in Puchong ~ 40.20-40.4...The best rate - BB Plaza area

Try to use your handphone inbuilt compass and Park Roayal hotel as guidance. That's the tallest buiding surrounding T-CAT from google earth 3D view. Thereafter on the front of the hotel walk North. but not from the point B from your link. At point B it shows 1.1km walk but from the front side of Park Royal ~ 800 m only

After simulation between Horidome Villa & Tokyo train station, distance only 1.7km and 20min walk...haha..can cosnider walking to Tokyo st too..but this one lotsa streets..most probably lost withyout a GPS for sure haha

In mid mar just nice ~8 to 15c. Just like the time I was in Beijing last nov haha

How to sponsor when I only can dream of normal sinkansen haha..Anyway lucky tried almost similar bullet in China last yr haha..max speed 295km/hr nia..although can go till 330km/hr...haizzzz... must be the earlier accident

Really lah//touching 295km/hr...but I only captured when touching 293km/hr. Used to be 330km/hr but speed reduced after the accident:



Kenot take sinkansen lor..to pricey..comparing the 100km++ 30min almost 300km/hr at the cost of RM27/pax from Tianjin to Beijing how to compare leh..

This is the train I took..from wiki should be CRH3 kua from Siemen haha..OK-lah..1st time tried almost 300km/hr liao..unless any sinkansen in Japan can go >400km/hr?..My nxt target taking the Shanghai maglev train haha

I'm also going there this coming Mar Holiday for a 7D5N in Tokyo. (Haha.. 2 days spending on plane alone! actual full day of Holidaying only 5days. Flight ticket (RM530/pax return AAX) & Hotels ((RM1075 /5 nites) paid earlier.
I'm budgeting this ground for 3 person:

1) Food (RM200/day/3pax X5 = RM1000
2) Transport - Mostly Subways & buses (RM1000 for 3)
3) Misc souvenirs, entrance & etc (Cash) - RM1,000
4) Expensive entrance (Maybe Disneyland?? / Uniglo/fashions ~ RM500 via Credit card - Still KIV)

So I'm thinking bringing only ~ RM3,500 cash only for this trp ..well can even consider only RM3K

You want the RM1K/pax pass when RegebtCid only estimated 5000yen (RM150) for 1 week travel within Tokyo haha..Even I push my budget higher to 7000yen (RM280) bcos wanna go Hakone, & that shogun boss temple & big sitting Buddha

Not enough just top-up-lah..7000yen actually budgetted till Hakone only

I hv posted few links on pg one esp on fare calculation & also regentcid suggestion on how to goto Nikko & Kamasutra..opss kamakura

[ay full but very reliable. Infact most online booking you need to pay full on the spot.. Be warned..agoda might not be the cheapest in Tokyo.. I found out hotel.com cheaper there. booking.com also not bad

Thinking just go to Disneyland and snap photo nia.. Dun intend to play any games & etc.. Dunno from the ticketing counter can snap the castle or not?..Just wanna show we been there...well...outside Dineyland haha

Just wanna snap - I hv visited Disneyland but without paying the expensive fee lor & not going to ride any games..Wondering from outside can snap or not?..This Fuji Q land never heard of it. If snap picture in front entrance without riding, I also dunno how to show my fren..hey I hv visited Fuji Q-land..dunno what their reaction haha

Haha.. I also bypass HK Disneyland on my last visit..No point going when knowing not going to ride. But long-long time ago when I was young & 1st time to HK in early 90's. I entered HK Ocean park..also long que for everything...dun really enjoy it also haha.

Susah liao likedat..no point going..

Are you sure 1/2 price after 2PM, As far as I know from the website, the night ticket of 3,300y only after 6pm and 4900y after 3pm on Sat, Sun & Public Holiday:

Walao eh..I also seeking for info here & also depending on those been there...why tnx me pulak haha

Haha, Only girls/ladies worried about fashion.. Similar questions also posted in Seoul/Korea thread.

Just wear as you like-lah.. In Seoul you will be surprise how simple are the Korean dressed during the winter. Much simple than Chinese mainland or Taiwanese.. Jean, sport shoe/leather shoes + down jacket. For those richer folks probably high heel winter boots & etc...But hi-heel winter boot so common in Taiwan & Pearl river deltas but not so in Seoul..they are so down to earth style..So I think Japan should be even simple and almost similar to Seou from those winter photos posted here...

From earlier post by regentcid, you can see liao..just spot the far blur images of those ladies in thick down jacket, common thick jeans & sport shoe (I can see one wth white)...just like common Seoul view during winter.. no need fashion fashion haha. It just reminded me of my last trip to Seoul, when local M'sian very stylish hi-heel winter boot anf full winter fashion but when I stepped down in Seoul..most of the folks there wearing so simple haha..Those tourist/M'sian are the one really odd ...However, if you go those Chinese cities esp Giangzhou, Zhuhai or even Taipei..OK-lah..They are the one really fashioneble..hi-heel boot everwhere in chinese cities, HK & eben in Taipei although the temperature there so mild..In Seoul..simple..winter cheapo boot man..haha
