^ We'll be there next week. Nasa double-digits na yung forecast pero yung lowest temp ay single digit pa din. Pwede na kaya ang light trench lang, or dapat yung medyo mabigat pa ng konti (not down jacket levels naman, pero yung medyo manipis na type ng wool coat)?

grabe, kakauwi lang namin, ang sakit na ng paa ko, LOL

hindi na namin napuntahana ng Mt. Fuji, pero dapat ako tutuloy, gusto ko kasing makita talaga, kaso, ang weather ayaw makisama sa akin, nyahaha, maulan nung thursday, parang signal #2 ang lakas ng hangin, haha...kaya hindi talaga siya magpapakita :(

anyway, ang masaya na-experience namin ang snow at nakakita ng cherry blossom (plum season), at least may pics pa din, haha

post ko later mga notes ko, iipunin ko lang, hehe

notes ko so far :)

- Plug/socket type, is the same with what we have.
- While planning my tour, sumasakit ang ulo ko sa subway/JR lines, sa sobrang dami, literal! kaya tinigil ko ng pag-aralan, pero once you  get there, madali na siyang intindihin, just be sure where you want to go :) to avoid wasting your time and energy.
- Always ask, kung medyo naguguluhan ka na (kagaya ko, tanong lang ng tanong)
- I didn't buy the JR pass cause I know, I won't be able to maximize it, so I opt to reserved to overnight bus to go to Tokyo
- In kyoto, you can visit all the tourist spots, using the 500yen Kyoto Tour Bus, hanggat kaya ng energy nyo e, hehe, there are corresponding Bus# to every location, you can ask a map at the information center in kyoto station.
- To Fushimi Inari Shrine, its a different route, so you need to buy ticket to train station.
- Coin lockers are easy to find, if you want to leave your luggage... and it comes with different sizes, from small to x-large, hehe
- Willer Bus is a cheaper way to go to Tokyo, an overnight bus that will take 7-8hrs from Osaka-Tokyo or travel through Shinkansen (Bullet Train) that will only take 2hrs to Tokyo.
- Buhay ka na sa Lawson and Family mart, for snacks, but of course, try authentic Japanese food, kahit once a day lang :P
- For Pasalubong, you can buy in Daiso, hehe, ang sarap lang talaga ng mga chocolates, kahit anong chocolates, ang sarap sarap! (may sweet tooth :) )
- Bring medicines, for body ache, haha
- Buy/reserved yen ahead of time, I bought mine in Czarina
- Buy One day economy pass ticket in Tokyo. Unlimited pass for one day for both Toei and Tokyo Metro. Be sure that your itinerary on that day will be on this lines
- Buy your ticket thru online to DisneyLand/Sea to avoid long queue at the counter.
- For Disney Sea, check your ticket, if you can avail fast pass, if yes, then go to fast pass ticketing, to lessen your waiting time
- Bring tumbler. Drinking fountain is around the corner in Disney Sea, so you don’t need to buy bottled water all the time.
- For Odaiba, if you’re just going to Daiba area, it will only cost ¥610. Daiba is where you can find the Liberty, with rainbow bridge as background :P Divercity, Gundam Statue (long walk), Fuji Building.
- Make sure to visit temples/shrine in the morning, para hindi maabutan ng closing time, hehe
- For plum season, parang autumn din, safe na siguro yung 4-5 layers, haha
- And of course...love their washlet

^wow very detailed sis!!!

Ako last night ko na sa tokyo today, sakit nga sa paa lalo na when you take the trains! But i love their train system, very convenient and madaling aralin..

Odaiba lang ata napuntahan ko na tourist spot lol and for the chocolate pasalubong, i bought everything at Takeya in Ueno. One whole big luggage for chocolates, sarap nga ng chocolates dito sa Japan.

Hope to visit this country on May. Cross fingers, sana makarecover ako agad sa panganganak..

^^ sis greyzie07 baka wala ka na masyado maabutan sakura nyan. Based on this link http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2011.html best viewing for cherry blossoms would be first two weeks of April.. if in case me maabutan pa kayo, for me, best place for cherry blossoms during the day is at Shinjuku Gyoen. Sa gabi naman, maganda ang illuminated sakura sa Ueno Park and sa Chidorigafuchi Park.
