if going Roppingi Hill, can skip the so-called Aquarium there. Its cost 500 yen more if u're buying together with the City View ticket, and for me its definitely not worth the money.

Thanks bro.
Yeah, after going onto google maps and planning out the train routes, decided to cut off some things. Anyway I think the planning is just "plan" ba. Reach there that time then we'll fit in what we can fit in, whatever we can't then next trip.

juz to share with u, there's a Disney Store in Shibuya where u can get the Disneyland / DisneySea ticket. If u happen to come across it might as well grab ur ticket there, so u can save up precious time of go lining up at the ticket booth there.

hi Shazzac,
I will be visiting Tokyo on Febraury next year. Glad that i see your post here because i am also worry about late arrival at Haneda Airport and i also read elsewhere that flgith from US and other places are also arriving at the same time so will take a bit longer to clear immigration. seems like now that everything went smoothly.

just a question here, is it convenient to purchase the train ticket at the airport to tokyo? i am planning to get suica card but not sure if the counter open at that hour.

i think u dont need to go counter to get it, i got my PASMO (which works exactly the same with SUICA in city) thru the ticket machine at the Keikyu Line station there, which is not that far away from the arrival gate.

i was able to clear the custom by ard 11.25pm local time eventhough the flight landed 10.55pm, got lucky with my luggage being the 1st batch that being unloaded. smile.gif

Yeah I think that's what I'll do. I googled a few providers and they are charging like 5k yen for 1 week's rental. @___@

i'm pretty skeptic abt that 'cant give birth' story, mainly cause i had heard quite a lot different variation version of it, some say 2 years, some 5, now 10... if really that bad, arent the local japanese people wil kinda like extinct in, say, a few decades?

btw i'm in Kyoto now laugh.gif

juz to share :

if got plan to rent and wear kimono / yukata in Kyoto, can consider this : http://kikkabo.com/english-top.html

the best part of this 1 (compare to many other shops that offer the same service) is that the shopkeeper lady will bring the clothes and things to the place u stay and dress u up in ur room, to return it juz leave it at the reception when u're done.

It was pretty fun to tour around Kyoto in yukata biggrin.gif
