Sis glamorous_aisha, shinjuku park ata is shinjuku gyoen din. Naguluhan na ako sa mga names. Shinjuku central park, yun public park directly behind the tokyo metro gove twin towers. Hindi ba yun sis maganda? If hindi, tanggalin ko na sa pupuntahan. Meiji garden is meiji shrine din pala. Sorry napapalit palitan ko yun mga names.

Edit:
Meron ba JR Pass na pwedeng gamitin from tokyo to osaka to kobe to osaka to kyoto to osaka? May nakita kasi akong JR Kansai Area Pass pero sabi local and rapid JR trains daw in the region around osaka, kyoto, nara, kobe and himeji, so ibig sabihin di covered from tokyo to osaka?

Magkaiba binibigay na total cost ni google map and hyperdia pag yun route na tokyo to osaka. Alin mas reliable for budgeting purposes?

Ako sis, naka fitflop lang buong 3 weeks ko dyan. nag sneakers lang ata ako nung nag USJ kame, mas sumakit paa ko. taba kasi! kaya lage akong naka fitflop.

pero nanay ko din, sinasabihan ako na dapat daw di na ganun suot ko. kasi hindi na summer. hahaha!

j_in_tokyo - sis meron bang shuttle from shinjuku washington hotel to shinkjuku station?

our iti kasi:
day 4 - travel from fuji-Q to shinjuku via highway bus (drop off at keio highway bus terminal)
         - go to shinjuku washington hotel - check in at 1 or 2pm
         - visit shinjuku gyoen via taxi
         - go shopping sa odakyu and/or isetann
         - then visit metropolitan building sa hapon or gabi

day 5 - take narita express train to go to airport

or is there another hotel na malapit sa train station para naman di hassle magbuhat ng luggage? hyatt park hotel may shuttle daw kaso too expensive since 1 night lang kame mag stay.

keio hotel naman someone told me it's an old hotel, but kung mas ok dito or merong mas ok na hotel na hindi gaano ka inconvenient sa pupuntahan namin, mas ok..

sis shinjuku gyoen is worth it for me may 300 yen lang na entrance.maganda kasi talaga dun. yung central park kung tama yung iniisip ko na park according to your description not worth it. tirahan kasi ng mga homeless yun. pero malapit dun yung love sign.

JR pass na alam ko everywhere in japan as long as JR company. iba yung kansai pass since for kansai lang talaga siya. malaki difference ng price ng transportation depende sa route mo (ex. train companys, how many transfers). both are accurate but mag-ingat lang sa route.

[blackgreen]

^^hahaha.. same tayo sis simplykristine08. Mas comfortable ako pag naka fitflop. Balak ko nga sa airport na lang ako magchange ng shoes, fitlflop muna ako sa plane. Naiinitan kasi ako pag naka sneakers.

^thank you sis glamorous_aisa. Di ko na sinama yun Shinjuku Central Park. Yun Kansai Pass ang next kong aaralin, baka mas makatipid kami dun sa Osaka kasi Osaka hotel namin pero plan namin may Kyoto ng 2 days, balikan lang, tapos Kobe din para sa Kobe beef.

Magback read ako ng thread 1, 2 and 3. Maghahanap ako ng mga resto na pwede kainan. So far lotteria pa lang nasa notes ko tsaka yun inari steak na sabi ni sis shygirlme. Hindi pwede ramen since may pork yun di kami pwede.

^sis bakit bawal kayo sa pork? Sayang naman try nyo sana Ichiran.

[huit]

Nope! Galing kami Kyoto then nag Nagoya lang kami for the flight namin ng gabi. Pero I considered that naman, may affordable na hostel near the airport. Baka you can try that. What time ba flight niyo to Manila?

[blackgreen]

^muslim kasi sis napangasawa ko. Sayang nga pork pala broth ng ramen eh. Sis saan yun inari steak? Gusto rin namin itry. Diko kasi masearch sa google maps.

[shygirlme]

^sa pagkakatanda ko meron sa Shibuya katabi nung Ichiran malapit sa disney store. Madami branch non sis. Sa Akihabara kami nakakain. Nakatayo nga lang habangnakain don hehe

[babydash]

^@huit, pwede po pashare ng itinerary niyo and kung saang hotel kayo nagstay?

From kyoto paano kayo nagpunta nagoya airport? By train lang?

[huit]

^

Yes, nag train lang. Mabilis lang naman. Itinerary namin sa buong trip ba namin sa Japan?

[blackgreen]

^ay ganun sis. Di bale try pa rin namin. Food na lang talaga kulang sa itinerary ko sa tokyo. Hahaha..

[shygirlme]

^mali ata ako sis haha google mo nalang san branch nila. Try mo genki sushi or yung mga sushi na may conveyor belt. Di namin natry yan sana next time ma try namin.

[babydash]

Yep kung ok lang po.. ilang days kayo dun?

[blackgreen]

^sige sis, take note ko yan genki sushi.

Ano must-try na mga food or resto sa Tokyo?

[beachpatrol]

Sa mga bibili ng Royce, dun na kayo paglampas ng immigration sa Narita Airport. Sobrang mura ng Nama!

Ang lamig na sa Tokyo ngayon, 15 degrees. Feel na feel namin ang trench coat haha

Naadik ako sa capsule toys puro gundam at sailor moon 

[blackgreen]

^naku sis ibig sabihin dina kaya na tights plus shorts ang attire sa Tokyo? Next week na kasi punta namin.

[ataypool]

^if you have very thick tights under your shorts pwede pa.

Dagdagan mo na lang ng sweater under your coat or jacket.

To give you an idea,15 degrees on my lunchbreak walk - Jeggings/jeans, sneakers/boots, socks, long sleeved tshirt, thin sweater, thick coat/jacket, scarf optional. Pag very thick sweater, light jacket.
