^sis salamat sa sagot mo sa questions ko, tanong po ulit yun papunta ng puroland via keio  from shinjuku deretso na ba yun ng tama center kung sasakay ako papunta hashimoto or baba pa ako ng chofu then to keiotama center 
 and suica pwede ba sa keio line TIA

[greyzie]

^sis, pasagot ah... if the train is direcho hashimoto, dadaanan na niya tama center, no need na mag-transfer.

do printout the coupon: http://www.puroland.co.jp/english/coupon.html

favorite ko dito is the boat ride, kahit paulit-ulit. parang it's a small world ng disney pero puro sanrio characters and of course the parade

^^@mitch2526, wow, shirakawa-go. me snow pa ba by march? i was able to visit it summer time, i was supposed to go back wintertime para kita na me snow sa bubong nung house (just like in the pictures). where ka sa japan, sis? you may also want to visit the tateyama-kurobe alpine route... kakaibang experience din.

[sweetie28]

^hi sis thanks ,ito yong mga pupuntahan namin

day 1(mon)
harajuku(just for oriental bazaar for pasalubong  coz it is closed every thurs)
ebisu
roppongi
kokuritsukyogijo
shibuya (crossing,hachiko)

sobrang madali lang talaga ito every place kasi around 4pm pa kami makarating sa ikebukuro from narita, photo opt lang talaga except for oriental bazaar

day2(tues)
disneyland
makuharingo (keikarou resto for dinner, the owner of this is one of the members of arashi ,na favorite group ng aking daughter kaya gusto niya try kumain dito

day3
ghibli museum
puroland
stroll around ikebukuro(our base)

day4
odaiba
ueno
akihabara
harajuku
shinjuku(for willer express to nagoya)

sa hyperdia ko tinignan lahat ang transpo namin, ok na ba to, gusto pa sana namin isingit ang yokohama kaso wala na talaga time

[pheigh]

Pasagot po sis sweetie28, here are my comments

Oriental bazaar - saan ka manggaling sis? this is in ometesando pero kaya lakarin from harajuku, pero check mo din kasi its near omotesando sta rather than the harajuku sta. If your there on a sunday sana you can see the younger people in their anime outfits, usually they stay in the meiji jingu park.

Roponggi - don't miss the sky view at Roponggi hills

Ueno - since your going this side na, sama mo na sis Asakusa for the Asakusa Temple.

Odaiba - nice sa may venus port at night.

Disneyland - I'll recommend Disney Sea It's the only one in the world, pero syempre different story if you have younger kids in tow kasi most of the rides at Sea are for older kids & adults na If your going catch the Breavisimo (Light, water & fire show).

 

[mitch2526]

Hmm hirap naman magrecommend ng fare passes sayo kasi baka hindi mo masulit... At yung mga metro pass kulang kasi pupunta ka sa ghibli, tsaka disney....

Pag sa tokyo ka lang sa central area pwede yung metro pass.

Anyway.

I agree about disney. Mas masaya ang sea kaysa land! Been to both. masyadong pang 5 yr old kid ang disneyland kasi. Sa sea nandun ang little mermaid, aladdin.... Masaya!

[sweetie28]

^^sis pheigh manggagaling kami ikebukuro, ganun ba sis mas malapit pala oriental bazaar sa ometessando di ko kasi alam talaga  pero maganda ba talaga mamili doon or kahit skip na lang namin   ito at saan pa ba ibang maganda mamili ng souvenirs and pasalubong, sabi ko nga sa anak ko (teenager) na  disneysea na lang kami kasi nakapunta  naman na kami sa disneyland hongkong although mas malaki nga raw ng sobra sa tokyo pero parang mas type niya disneyland tignan ko na lang kung maconvince ko  siya , para sa kanya kasi itong trip na to, kung pwede nga lang disneyland and disney sea kaso wala na talaga time , odaiba morning lang kami pwede doon eh kasi papunta na kami nagoya that night,salamat

^salamat sis mitch

[lheimatte]

Mga sisses, will be going to tokyo parang 2D lang, definitely will go sa disney sea kasi sa jp lang meron nito, since my hubby eh puro pix lang gusto malamang hinde na kami ganong sumakay pero kinontrata ko na yung journey to the center, meron bang luggage locker malapit sa disney? Kasi sayang yung time ko drop pa kami sa citadines shinjuku bago punta disney.

[mitch2526]

Sa disney mismo may locker

[lheimatte]

Thanks sis mitch! Tapos pala mas malapit bang ang disney sa odaiba? Kung gusto namin derecho venus port, san station kami baba? Nalito ako when I checked yung website nila...
Saka oks ba punta ng akihibara ng gabi?

[mitch2526]

Hi sis! Oo malapit lang, ito i took a printscreen of the Jorudan website para sa sasakyan mong train!

Walking distance lahat ng main attraction sa Odaiba. Best go to Aquacity area para sa view ng bay!

http://thejetsetress.shutterfly.com/pictures/11

Akihabara is alive at night as well, so okay lang naman.

[lheimatte]

Thanks Sis! ni copy ko na agad sya.... mag JR pass kami, i'm wondering kung need ko pang bumili ng pass sa tokyo kung disney sea, odaiba, akihibara, roponggi, imperial palace ang balak namin puntahan...

baka me masa suggest po kayo.  Thanks! thanks!

[mitch2526]

sis, the 2 trains going to Odaiba, either Yurikamome (yung umiikot ng loop! nagsulat ako ng blog tungkol dun), and Rinkai (yung nasa picture) are both private company so ewan ko kung kasama sa pass. so i think separate mong bibilhin yung ticket. Yung iba pwede naman yung JR Pass.

Yung sa disney sea kasi, disney resort line din yun. Kung hilig niyo ang disney things, sakay kayo sa train kasi medyo 15 minute walk yung galing Maihama to Disney sea, although parang 5 minute walk lang to land in comparison. 2x nako nag disney sea nilakad ko lang pareho hehe. Maganda naman kasi yung lakarad, makikita mo rin yung Disney Ambassador Hotel ganun, lalo na pag clear skies. tsaka tipid mode lang

so if tipid mode ka, pwedeng walk ang disney 1 way, sakay ka pabalik pag pagod na.
odaiba is no choice kundi bumili ng ticket.
imperial palace tokyo station lang yan.
akihabara JR naman yun.
Roppongi metro subway lang ATA nakakarating dun ha, pero mura lang ang subway. Mahal yung mga mabababagal na monorail.

[lheimatte]

Ganun ba sis? Hmmn... baka naman pwede mo share yung blog mo para mabasa ko rin and have an idea sa tour namin sa JP... excited na ko... mas excited pa ko sa Japan kesa sa HK/Macau trip namin next month... kulet lang...

Sana lang mapuntahan namin lahat yun... pati na ang hakone and gotemba outlet bago kami balik ng kyoto...

[greyzie]

any off the beaten path to go to kaya for end of november to early december?  ^_^

Any prefecture in particular, sis? I highly recommend Kanazawa (Ishikawa prefecture, between Osaka & Kyoto). May event sa Kenroku-en (one of the top 3 best gardens in Japan) tuwing autumn where the park is opened at night tapos lighted siya and the effect is amazing!

Nearby naman is the samurai district and the Kanazawa Castle.

Di siya strictly off the beaten path kasi meron pa ring tourists but not as massive as kyoto or tokyo.

During spring naman, yun tateyama-kurobe alpine route. May bus lang na pwede dumaan sa wall of snow: http://www.alpen-route.com/english/Guide/season/spring.html

[mitch2526]

Ilang days pwede? Tapos after mo mag Kanazawa stop over ka day trip sa shirakawago! World heritage site din!

Yung kenrokuen maganda, yung lamp pinagkakaguluhan nila, nagulat ako maliit lang
 Or better yet...
Hokkaido!
