^LOL! Yun nga rin sabi ko. Nov ang travel namin, so I think if June na at di pa siya nagreresign, kalimutan na muna niya... Hahahaha!

I think yung ITR kasi 2015 naman mappresent niya so it's okay... COE lang talaga problem if ever, at kahit makakuha siya ng bagong job, di pa rin maganda kasi wala pang 1 year. Although my sister naman naapprove ng single entry before, bago lang siya sa job niya, siguro mga 4 months.

^ aww.. sis sobrang lamig naba talaga? sa January 15 ang travel namin and 3 yrs old yung anak ko, iniisip ko kung ilang patong ng damit ang dapat sa kanya,natatakot din ako na baka magkasakit e, meron din kame tour sa Mt Fuji at Fujiten para nga sa snow, ang worry ko baka sobrang lamig e magkasakit naman.

Has anyone tried to book a hotel room with twin beds but for 3 guests? I'm having a hard time searching for triple rooms. Actually, twin rooms are mostly sold out na din during the holy week.  TIA

[shygirlme]

^ang hirap magbook ng hotel room for 3 guests. kaya my husband booked airbnb sa inlaws ko nung nagpunta kami last time.

Closed na yung Thread 2, new naman.

Reposting my questions na hindi pa nasasagot

Hi mga sis! Question lang, kasi gumagawa na ko itinerary and budget for my trip in Nov 2016.

1. If ayaw ko ma-hassle sa bagahe, tama ba na around Kyoto Station dapat ako mag-stay at Shin-Osaka Station for the Osaka leg?

2. Kung 8PM ang arrival sa KIX, malaki ba yung chance na hindi namin maabutan yung last Haruka train? 10pm-ish yung last train. Kung oo, advisable ba na Osaka na lang unahin kong base vs. Kyoto?

3. If Nov 3 is a holiday, maganda ba mag-USJ on Nov 2? Hehe.

4. Can you re-enter WWOHP pag nakalabas ka na? Balita ko kasi maganda daw bumalik pag madilim na (assuming na bukas pa siya pag travel namin). I'm thinking of getting the tickets online kasi (found a guide) with Express Pass 5, pero gusto ko rin naman ivisit yung USJ mismo tapos babalik na lang sa WWOHP.

TIA!

Done with my itinerary. Budget naman sa food ang kailangang gawin para matapos.

Try ko sagutin yung mga tanong mo sis.

1. As much as possible yung malapit na sa train station. Kami nagstay sa Kyoto for the entire Osaka-Kyoto leg para di na palipat lipat ng hostel.

2. Yes, super haba ng pila sa bilihan ng Haruka + ICOCA and other tickets. Meron na rin kasi dun ng USS and ibang passes. Pagkakuha namin ng Haruka + ICOCA, tumakbo na kami kasi 4 mins nalang aalis na ang train. Grabe kararating palang takbuhan agad. Hahaha

3. Maraming tao everyday sis, agahan niyo nalang as in bago magbukas nakapila na.

4. Di ko lang alam kung pano pag may express pass. Kami kasi wala kaya late na kami nakapasok sa WWOHP, mga 1pm tapos pila pa rides, mga 3 hours. Kailangan kumuha ng entrance ticket na may nakalagay na oras kung kelan ka pwede pumasok. Hassle. Dapat talaga super aga or may express pass. Sayang oras sa pila. After nun di na kami bumalik para makasakay sa ibang rides. Aga din nila magsara, parang before 8pm yun. Di rin namin nasulit USJ.

@divamom Shinjuku Washington Hotel has 3 single beds in one room. You might want to check it out.

[shygirlme]

Di din namin nasulit USJ. dumating kami 9 haba pila sa ticket booth tapos wala na express pass nakapasok kami 1030 ang nakuha namin time slot for HP 1pm na. Kumain nalang muna kami tapos ikot. sa HP naman don lang kami sa Wand nakapasok. tapos inikot lang namin. ang hahaba na kasi ng pila by 4pm last pila na nila super haba ng pila kaya ikot nalang kami buy souvenirs tapos nag butterbeer. Pag labas ng HP spiderman lang nasakyan namin inikot lang namin saglit tapos nagpapalabas na sila. Bitin talaga. pag winter lang ata sila til 8?

Sis divamom, shibuya excel hotel tokyu has triple sharing rooms. We stayed there last year and i highly recommend it. I booked the hotel via asiatravel for 11500 pesos per room per night. 

[mdnextdoor]

Hi, how's the weather in tokyo? Kaya na ba ang thermal, sweater and fleece jacket? Or pwede thermal and fleece jacket na kagad? Planning not to bring too much clothes kasi.

[divamom]

^Thank you mga sis! Shinjuku Washington is already fully booked on our dates, Shibuya Excel is way above our budget naman  ...I'm checking on Airbnb now. Thank you!

Hi sisses!

Would like to see your help. Ang hirap palang maghanap ng hotels sa Japan na could accommodate 4 pax in a room. 2 adults and 2 kids (11 and 9) kase kami. Kids those age pala are regarded as adults na there. Any suggestions po sa hotels na pwede ganitong number of occupants? Most hotels triple room lang pinakamalaki. Sana yung malapit din sa subway/train stations for easy commute.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

[luvko23]

Agree with airbnb apartment. Stayed in Shibuya in our first trip and near Komagome station just last month. Highly recommended for large groups.

Hi! Mga sis, would just like to seek your help. I am currently looking for hotel in Tokyo. Hirap maghansp ng room for 4. 2 adults and 2 kids kasi kami, 11 and 9 na yung kids ko. They're considered adults pala in Japan.

Sa naka stay na sa Sunroute Shinjuku, okay ba sya? Which is better kaya, Sunroute or Keio Plaza or Shinjuku Washington? May nakita din ako, Hotel Grand Arc, any feedback on these hotels sisses? Dapat ba 2 twin rooms kunin ko. Triple rooms lang kase madalas ang meron eh.

Salamat!

[shygirlme]

We stayed at Sunroute kaso for 2 lang yung room for us yun yung pinaka best na hotel na napagstayan namin compared sa hotels sa Osaka and Kyoto. May Limousine Bus din pala.

[travelling_daisy]

^ I read a lot of good reviews nga sa Sunroute sis kaso yun nga din dilemma ko, pang 2 lang room so need to get 2 for us. May connecting rooms kaya? Parang ang mahal ng kalalabasan pag 2.

[travelling_daisy]

Di ko pa kasi natry airbnb sis...last option ko siguro yan.

[minnie99]

@beachpatrol, thanks, sis! Mukhang Amazing Race pala agad ang peg pagbaba pa lang. Naku, Cebu Pac pa naman kami, sana lang on time ang flight. Unahin ko na lang Osaka leg just in case di maabutan ang last train ng Haruka.

Naku, sana talaga makabili ako ng ticket online for USJ and for the Express Pass, para masulit naman. I found a guide kasi ang positive naman feedback doon, mukhang maraming nagrerefer sa kanya. Otherwise, I'll ask help from someone who can read Japanese. Hehe.

@travelling_daisy, ako rin di ko pa na-try! Hehe. At first last option ko din siya pero ngayon atat na ko mag-book. Just look for the ones na marami nang reviews para mas panatag ang loob mo. Otherwise, baka best talaga sa inyo is 2 rooms na lang? If I'm not mistaken, maliliit talaga rooms sa Japan kasi.

[shygirlme]

^No idea sis. baka pwede ka mag inquire. Karamihan kasi sa Japan 2 rooms eh check mo sa Tokyo thread meron nag suggest na hotel n pwede 4.
