Tokyo (thread 2)

[glamorous_aisha]

^i don't know anything about hiroshima pero yung sa tokyo itenerary mo sis mukhang okay naman.

few points lang:

- yebisu beer museum is at ebisu station not shibuya. it's a nice place to visit too nasa loob siya ng ebisu garden place. if your familiar with hana yori dango movie dito sila ngshoot nung wedding scene.

-don quijotes are everywhere. the big ones are at shinjuku, ikebukuro, shibuya and akihabara.

-pati uniqlo. pero pinakamalaki at pinakamaayos siguro is the one in shibuya sa may dogenzaka. sa toys find a mandarake store i think they have one in shibuya and shinjuku.

-tsukiji fish market medyo agahan niyo sis.5am kami usually pumupunta dun.

-yung last day niyo lang yung feeling ko masyadong hectic. baka hindi niyo maikot lahat sis.

Kami naman, we only went to Tsukiji Market to eat. Di naman kami interested to watch the bidding, which happens really early, so nagpunta kami dun around 8am na. Me konting pila sa mga kainan pero keribels, then after kain, tingin-tingin lang sandali then alis na din.

[yapeegurl]

glamorous_aisha, maraming maraming salamat! I took note of those. Yung June 15 ang hectic ano? Baka hindi namin macover lahat. Lalo pa ang laki laki ng train stations. Paltos sigurado paa namin hahaha

j_in_tokyo, Thanks sis! Sige. Isabay na namin si Ueno at Akihabara sa Asakusa on June 13 para hindi too tight ang schedule ng June 15. Thanks for this!!! Skip na muna namin si Zoo and the National Museum.

Excited din ako sa Onsen! Mahilig kasi ako sa massage. Sana lang si husband mag cooperate hahaha

Ang aga pala sa Tsukiji. Dapat matulog ng maaga the night before. Pero kakain lang din kami. And curious lang din sa place

Maraming salamat sa replies!

[glamorous_aisha]

^sis reminder lang, baka nabasa mo na din, butt naked ka dapat sa mga onsen dito....

[yapeegurl]

^Yes sis. Kaya hesitant si husband hahaha Pero mapipilit naman (ata) lol

[glamorous_aisha]

^haha.sis wala naman pansinan dito sanay na sila yun na lang sabihin mo sa hubby mo. usually super old people naman ang nasa onsen.

(Yay, thread 2. Lezgo.)

Might do Tokyo again this December, and I hope I get to finally visit Ghibli Museum. Last time I was in Japan kasi, I wasn't able to get tickets. Sold out.

[glamorous_aisha]

^you need to book ghibli tickets a month before. kami din hanggang ngayon hindi pa napupunta, hirap kumuha ng tickets kapag weekends.

[sky_butterfly17]

hi mga sis,

we will be having our company trip to japan june 29-july 2. what will be the weather on that dates kaya?

Sa Delta airlines kami,, ok ba sila compare sa JAL?

Di pa na announce final IT namin,,nasagap pa lang ng boss ko:

Day 1 - Arrival at Narita (free time) - saan ba maganda pumunta dito sa Narita
Day 2 - Mt. Fuji - dito kami mag stay whole day
Day 3 - Tokyo - Freeday - san pwede mag shopping dito? yung mga g-shock watches
Day 4 - Back to Narita / Going Back to Phils.

[glamorous_aisha]

^june july maulan na super humid. nakakainis weather. haha

delta cheaper pero sabi nga ng friend ko na nagwowork dun you get what you pay for. JAL kasi maganda talaga service.

Day1 sis wala kasing maiikutan sa narita kasi countryside talaga siya ang alam ko lang yung temple at aeon mall may bus na lumalabas mula sa airport. may mga maliliit din na onsen.

[Frozen Toes]

^you need to book ghibli tickets a month before. kami din hanggang ngayon hindi pa napupunta, hirap kumuha ng tickets kapag weekends.

Oh, I see. A month prior to the trip pala dapat. Pwede ba yon online? I thought kasi sa Lawson lang pwede bumili ng tickets, so I waited until makarating ako ng Tokyo to buy.

[yapeegurl]

glamorous_aisha, aray haha super old people. Kabilang si husband doon so wala siya dapat ipag alala lol

Nako. Maulan din pala ang June/July. Bibili ako agad ng transparent umbrella

[sky_butterfly17]

^^^ oh i see. unpredictable pala ang weather.. thanks sis. anong instant noodles ang masarap dun and yung mga green tea kitkat how much per pack?

So yung delta is parang budget airline parang Cebu PAC?

[j_in_tokyo]

sis sky_butterfly17
masarap na instant noodles? wala ng tatalo sa fave pasalubong na seafood nissin cup noodles.
pero if I were you..ill try the authentic ramen..marami naman sa paligid nun..basta may sign na "ラーメン" 
pero highly recommended ko sayo ang Tonkotsu ramen (hakata ramen)..one of the best!

yung kitkat usually mga 298 yen per pack..
pero mas mura at sa don quijote..mga 268 yen siguro..

Delta is not a budget airline.
magkalevel lang sila ng PAL at JAL..

[bagaholic_chewy]

Sis sky_butterfly17

Ok naman ang Delta, we took their flights last March kasi maganda ang sched ng arrival and departure sa Narita. It's not a budget airline, LOL.

Ok ang in-flight entertainment, ok din ang food (actually, for me, better ang food nila compared to PAL). Pangit ang earphones so i used my own headphones. We upgraded to premium economy seats for Manila-Narita flight so we had more legroom. But even the normal seats, ok naman ang legroom, so nung pauwi ng Manila di na kami nag-upgrade to premium.

Yung Day 1 nyo, sang hotel ba kayo? I assume sa Tokyo ang hotel nyo. If so, from Narita airport, diretso na kayo hotel to checkin and leave bags then ikot-ikot na. Siguro by 3pm (4pm latest) nasa Tokyo na kayo so you have time to explore. Pwede Shibuya or Harajuku or Shinjuku or Ginza, etc. pwede ring area around your hotel if ayaw nyo mag-explore sa malayo.

Day 2 - di naman super-late ang balik nyo ng Tokyo from Fuji daytour so pwede pa din kayo magexplore/magshopping sa gabi. Yung tour bus namin last March, me stops sya either Ginza or Shinjuku so ask na lang kayo sa guide kung san kayo pwede magpababa, then explore and shopping ng konti.

[sky_butterfly17]

thanks sis bagaholic_chewy & j_in_tokyo for the info & tips.  haha sorry ah kala ko kasi budget airline ang Delta..hehe. actually hindi pa sinasabi yung final IT namin. sa June 21 pa briefing namin..excited na kami wag  lang sana kami ulanin

[glamorous_aisha]

^hindi budget airline delta major airline siya. di lang talaga comparable service nila when it comes to japanese airlines. parang PAL pagdating sa service. hehe

Oh, I see. A month prior to the trip pala dapat. Pwede ba yon online? I thought kasi sa Lawson lang pwede bumili ng tickets, so I waited until makarating ako ng Tokyo to buy.

sis alam ko din sa lawson lang. pero baka makakuha naman kayo basta weekday niyo na lang itapat or magtanong din sa travel agencies baka may way sila para makapagpareserve. post ko dito kapag nakakuha ko.

glamorous_aisha, aray haha super old people. Kabilang si husband doon so wala siya dapat ipag alala lol

ay sis sorry. haha pero yung super old na meaning ko 80 or 90 year olds.

[Frozen Toes]

^ Great, let me know.

Hello sisses..  Need your advise with regards to itinerary for 5-6 days on Dec 26 to 30 or 31, 2013.  As early as now, hubby is planning to book airfares, hotel accommodations and probably entrance tickets to the amusement parks!  .   

Hubby and I will be traveling to Tokyo this Dec with our 8 year old daughter.  I'm concerned with the cold weather there at that time of the year but my daughter thinks she can handle it.  In the past, she's able to enjoy cool weather of 7-9C with layers of clothes! 

Weather aside, we are planning to visit Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea..  so far, yun lang and a day of shopping.  Hope to hear from those who have been to Tokyo in December to suggest places to visit, to go for yummy Japanese food and to shop!

Thanks
