[shygirlme]

how much yung airpot limo sis

[prettybarbie]

bumili ko sa partner sales agent nila dito sa HK bale 4,200 yen ang binayaran ko for 1 roundtrip ticket. Check my earlier post, andon yung mga list ng agents nila in different countries....

May promo ngayon ang airport limo, from October 1- Dec. 31 , 2014, 1900 Yen lang ang one way ticket instead na 3,000 Yen

[supladitang cute]

Thanks as reply sis. BTW, Saan yung sale name limo? Parang wala as website.

[pink_saphire]

plano namin pumunta sa japan ng mga 3rd week of nov. malamig na ba don? kamusta yung lamig tolerable naman ba, or kailangn mga makakapal na jacket na? bago palang kame kukuha ng visa eh. sand question din,, ano yung limo na sasakyan, kailangan ba talaga ng ganon? kasi, may tutuluyan kaming bahay don, yung officemate ng dad ko eh. tia po sa sasagot.

[prettybarbie]

supladitang cute nasa mismong website nila...eto yung pdf

pink sapphire pede din mag train if you know how, mas convenient lang kasi ang airport limo because you dont have to tow your luggage sa subway. Mas mura ang train pero do your research kasi malaki ang train system ng tokyo.

Kauuwi lang namin kagabi and malamig na 15-22 degrees siguro dahil na din bumagyo, mahangin at malamig sa gabi. Check mo na lang the weather before you leave.

^kakatuwa naman yung trip niyo sis. ☺️ Naexcite tuloy ako for our tokyo trip in april. We're thinking of staying in keio plaza hotel shinjuku or shibuya excel hotel tokyu. Malayo ba keio plaza to don quixote sis? Ano mga nashop niyo sa don quixote? Ano mga kitkat flavors meron dun? Thanks 

[vhanya]

^The Donki shop in Shinjuku is HUGGEE!!! Pati branded bags meron dun hahahhaha! When we went there I saw green tea, strawberry, cheesecake flavored kitkats.

Basically everything under the sun they have in Donki Shinjuku. That's where I bought our pasalubong. I love their Pokey varieties at kung ano-anong snacks. =)

[prettybarbie]

princess lorraine.... mga 10-15 minutes walk ang layo ng Don Quixote sa Keio. Ang nakita ko lang na flavors sa shinjuku ay green tea, strawberry, pumpkin, and dark chocolate. Di ko na maalala ang exact price pero in between 230-280Yen per bag na 12-13 pcs....Sa Narita Airport ako nakabili ng mga interesting na flavors, like Sakura Strawberry, Red Chilli, Wasabi, Strawberry Cheesecake, Rum and Raisins, Red Bean atsaka may isa pang Kitkat na puro japanese ang nakasulat na parang may instruction na inoo-oven sya, basta yon ang pinakamasarap sa lahat. Sa airport maganda ang packaging ng kit kat nakalagay sa box unlike sa Donki nakalagay lang sa plastic. Pero mas mahal sa airport 860Yen per box ng 12-13pcs din.

Sa Daiso may mga kitkat din don at pocky na matcha....

Mga nabili ko lang sa Donki aside from chocolates/food are mga kikay accesories like fake lashes LOL, nail stickers/blings, cellphone accesories.... mga ganon lang... naghahanap kami ng costume for kids parang wala naman... we went to Donki in Shinjuku and Shibuya parehong wala, puro pang adults.

Sa Daiso sa Harajuku namili din kami dito parang mas mura dito kesa sa Donki, mas marami nga lang mapagpipilian sa Donki

I stayed at Shibuya Excel last August. Great location! Don't get an Excel room, though. I booked one thinking it's a higher end type of room. Well, it'll give you more space but they don't have Excel rooms on the side of the Shibuya crossing view. That is, if type mo to have a room with a view of the crossing, which is so fascinating to watch.
They have scenic elevators at the hotel which also give great views of the Shibuya area.

sis PRETTYBARBIE thank you oo nga mukang kelangan ko ng research bago magpunta don at maicheck ang weather, para sa mga outfit haha

[princess lorraine]

Sis vhanya and prettybarbie: thank you for all the info mga sis! Di naman pala mashado malayo ang donkki from keio plaza hotel. Parang ang layo kasi when i checked the map eh. I'm probably gonna spend half day in this store alone. Exciting!  sis prettybarbe, anong mga stores meron around keio plaza hotel? Marami bang restos and convenient stores in that area? Thanks. 

Sid theflygirl: thank you sis. If ever we decided to stay in shibuya excel, we will get the room with the view of shibuya crossing . Nice! There's also a donkki store in shibuya. Did you go there? How far is it from the hotel? Thanks 
 
For 6 days stay in tokyo, is 20k pesos per pax enough for food, transpo and tickets to disney sea, disneyland and sanrio puroland? Thanks.

[u8mypinkcookies]

hi sissies here's our planned itinerary... comments naman if this is feasible or not thank you.

Day 1: arrival and check in at Shibuya
Ueno Park & Zoo
Nakamise Shopping Street
Asakusa
Tokyo Skytree

Day 2: Disney Sea

Day 3: Odaiba
Yoyogi Par, Meiji Shrine
Shinjuku
Shibuya

Day 4: Hakone

Day 5: trip back to Manila


We just submitted our visa application. Fingers crossed na approved sya

[prettybarbie]

Princess Lorraine may malapit na Denny's sa Keio, 24 hrs resto sya kaya kapag nagutom kami sa gabi dito kami kumakain.... Pero sa Keio mismo maraming restaurant and may bakery din mejo pricey nga lang kasi nasa loob ng hotel. Pero may malapit na Mcdonald's, Starbucks, SIzzler, Subway, KFC, 7-11/family mart, and mga local japanese noodle/ramen shops. Malapit din sya sa Keio Mall, sa basement may mga tinda na cooked food pero walang seating area, pang take out lang.

Alot 1000-1500Yen (or more) per meal per person.... sabi nila mas mura daw ang breakfast sa lunch and dinner pero kahit sa Sukiya mga 1200 Yen ang breakfast, hindi ko nakita yung mga less than 1k Yen except sa Yoshinoya. In our 5 days stay in Tokyo, we spend around 6,000 HKD (82,600 Yen) on food alone (2 adults 1 child). Di kami nagtipid sa food dahil may kasama kaming bata. Mahal ang food sa Disney and kahit nag set na ko ng budget, hindi pa rin yon nasunod dahil andaming extra na gastos.

By the way may free shuttle bus ang Keio going back and forth Disneyland and Sea. And also Airport Limo.

Donki Shibuya and Shinjuku are the same. Kung ano yung makikita mo sa shibuya andon din sa shinjuku. From Hachicko Exit in Shibuya, mga ganon din 10-15 minutes ang lakad. Try mo magpunta ng Daiso madami ka din makikita don anik anik.

[u8mypinkcookies]

[kinkytinch]

^^^helloeveryone, naku better pa na bumili ka na ng yen sa pilipinas dahil based sa experience, 1) mahirap maghanap ng money changer. Di katulad sa pinas sa dami. Nasayang 1 araw namin. 2) malaki lugi mo pag dun ka bumili ng yen. Mataas pa dito

Kung ayaw mo talaga dito magpapalit, next best option mo is bring dollars at papalitan mo na lang sa airport mismo kaagad. Matagal at mahal ang byahe pabalik ng airport kung babalik ka pa dun. Dun lang yung pinaka-ok na rate within tokyo. hope I helped

[kinkytinch]

*mas ok pa presyo ng yen dito sa pinas

[princess lorraine]

Thank you so much sis prettybarbie. Mahal pala talaga sa tokyo pero pag vacation hindi rin ako nagtitipid sa food abpnd shopping eh kaya need mag ipon talaga for our tokyo trip. Did you book directly through keio plaza hotel's website sis? Pati yung reservation sa free shuttle to disney sa website or sa hotel ha mismo iayo nagbook? I have read that advance reservation is required. Madali lang ba pumunta from hotel to sanrio puroland? Thanks sis 

[prettybarbie]

^ we went to a travel agency, sila na yung nagbook ng flight and hotel.... If you'll book directly, ask for the main tower....

Regarding the shuttle bus, i emailed the hotel and asked for the timetable going to and from Disney. The earliest time is 6:30 am. Book that. ... 6:30 am din yung pinili namin and madami na kagad tao sa gate. And once the gate opened parang may marathon na kanya kanya na silang takbo sa mga rides na gusto nila sakyan LOL. So the earlier the better. And use your fastpass wisely, it will save you a lot of time.

Going back to the Hotel naman they have the 4 pm, 7pm, and 10pm bus.

Just email them which Park you would like to go, when and how many persons. Then once the reservation was made you can pick up the bus ticket at the front desk once you check in.

Going naman to Sanrio Puroland, sakay ka ng Train sa Shinjuku JR Line (5-10 mins walk from the hotel) then isang transfer lang sa Chofu. 22 Stations, around 45 minutes ang byahe. Pagdating sa Tama Center lalakad pa kayo papunta mismo sa Sanrio Puroland mga 5-10 minutes liesurely walk. Madami ka madadaanan na shops like Daiso, Mister Donut, Subway, McDonalds.... Maliit lang ang Sanrio Puroland pero cuteness overload. I downloaded the Tokyo Rail Map Lite, it helped me a lot and never kami naligaw. Kailangan nga lang may wifi ka.
