Osaka & Kyoto, Japan

[helpfulgoddess]

hello sisters, just wanted to ask if you've gone to shinsaibashi in osaka?  how are the shops?  are there great clothes there that are unbranded?  (meaning, very cool japanese fashion but no labels so hindi mahal.)

really want to know!!

AirAsia is having a promo to Tokyo. Meron package dun for April na inclusive of plane tickets, hotels, overland transportation, meals, and tax mga 65k lang. Pero manggagaling sa KL, Malaysia.

Yung cherry blossoms sa Japan maganda pag April.

pero sis, diba ang Air Asia promo flies to tokyo from KL?  or does the package already include the MNL-KL itinerary?

[pinkparfait]

Yeah. Sa KL manggagaling.

yes sis madaming clothes dun but yung iba mahal kasi nga ur paying yen then convert to peso. In japan talaga halos lahat mahal even food.

I lived in Hokkaido for a year and you get snow up there almost all year round.   Mga bandang October-November meron na all throughout April.

Is it OK to travel alone in Japan? Tokyo and neighboring cities..I really love to go but I don't have someone to go with so I will travel solo...It might be expensive though...

safe naman to travel alone, the problem lang is yung communication, not everyone can speak English, baka ma-bore ka..

how much normally ang meal sa Osaka? Just trying to compute how much ang expenses per day inclusive of transpo and meals

[vhanya]

^cha, i allotted 2000yen per perosn per meal (ramen, okonomiyaki, katsudon etc). =) but the more expensive food like kobe, kaiseki, teppanyaki ibang budget ko jan =)

[[-c-h-a-]]

^thanks! Ok naman pala sya and hindi ganun kamahal... kung naafford ang $27 na McDo sa Switzerland, kayang kaya rin pala Osaka

[vhanya]

^yup parang ganyan din price halos ng mcdo dun =) when are you going? sabihan kita ng exact price ng food pagbalik ko. im there mar1-7 =)

[[-c-h-a-]]

Is July a good time to visit Japan?  Mukha kasing July kami pwede bumiyahe.

[vhanya]

^no. it is rainy season first half of the month then hot and humid the rest of the month. summer nila to so madaming tao, i guess. but to each his own, baka ok lang sayo  =)

[numonorean]

^Nah... Not my preferred travel season unless sa beach ang bagsak ko.   Thanks, sis.   When's the best time to visit, then?

[vhanya]

^depends, if you are sensitive to extreme weather conditions, best time is april-may (april for the cherry blossoms but madaming tao) or sept-early nov (autumn season). late nov-early march is fall-winter... super lamig pero ok din umikot if you hate crowds...konti lang umiikot nito hehe
