How is Japan, Tokyo/Kyoto/ Osaka compared to Singapore .

Being to Sing a few times and Im not particularly excited about the city except their cleanliness and their Taxi drivers. KL (hometown) still da best for shopping with RM and also for food.

Sorry, want to know if Japan will be a worthwhile trip. I will spend alot of $$$ on the whole trip for my family..... Ayaaa... Wallet one big hole...

Is the Tokyo Disneyland suitable for old people ?

I went to the California Disney 9 years ago, the only thing i remember was a wild ride that made me wanted to puke..

It's quite suitable if you don't plan to take all the rides. In Tokyo Disneyland, there's lots of stage shows/street performances and also those simple rides that do not stresses out old people. So, while the old folks will not be able to enjoy all the rides; there's still things to do and see in Tokyo Disneyland for them.

Tokyo Disneysea is a different story.

Some Japanese food is spicy. I've tried some variations of spicy miso ramen that is as hot, if not hotter, than any Malaysian food. Japanese Mabou (tofu) is also spicy, not Sichuan spicy, but will still make your tear a little.

Disneyland/sea - avoid weekends and Japanese school holidays if possible. Best month to go I think, in terms of crowds in Jan/Feb - but it is bitterly cold because of the wind effect from the Tokyo Bay. For me, Tokyo winters are very mild - sometimes I'd walk to the supermarket 5 minutes away wearing just a long-sleeve shirt and pants but near the bay, brrrrrr - I'd be in full battle gear.

If you go, decide on a Fast Pass strategy and as always be there 40 minutes before it opens (there will be long lines at the ticket counters/entrance). But if you get-in in the 1st 30 minutes, you'll beat the crowds later in the morning. Also, try to sneak in some rides during the parade times (lines will be short) - of course, don't miss the parades. As to how terror-inducing the rides are: Disneyland isn't a coaster park so the rides are relatively mild. But for aged parents, maybe stay away from Thunder Mountain Railroad and Space Mountain. Splash Mountain I think is OK - it is only one not-so-big drop at the end. The rest of the rides are kiddie-mild. Disneysea has 2 relatively wilder rides - Tower of Terror (my mom says she nearly died LOL when she went to the one in Orlando) and another which I forget the name but it is near/next to 20,000 Leagues Under the sea - it goes in/out of the mountain side. Too lazy to lookup the name but you'll know it when you see it (or hear the screaming).

tatsuyachiba, I really enjoyed reading your Jishin experience in Japan, Aligato for sharing. rclxms.gif Hopefully, there will be no jishi when we visit Japan this April (touch wood). Sakura and Jishin do not match well.

For me in Tokyo biasa already...while sleepin also can feel the vibrant hehehe!


Okay aligoto, then we know what to expect when we're in Tokyo.. We will just pretend it's Ogawa machine doing full body massage on our body whenever there is mini jishin.
