We stayed at J-Hoppers Kyoto. Sobrang OK. Pwede magluto, walang curfew tapos malakas wi-fi. Maraming shared bathrooms kaya walang pila haha

^^Hi sis, checked their website, ang ganda nga! Will inquire if they can accommodate my reservation in Nov pa... Pero question sis... Hindi ba hassle mag-bus to get there from Kyoto station if I have luggage? Initially kasi I wanted around Kyoto or Tofukuji Station lang, kaso grabe nagtataasan na ng presyo yung AirBnB apartments doon.

TIA

Hello, dadating kami ng Narita airport around 8pm. Siguro after immigrations, etc, mga 9-930 na kami matatapos. What's the best and less hassle way to travel from airport to Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku? Dapat kasi mag limousine bus kami since kasama sa drop off point ang hotel namin kaso sayang, di na kami aabot based sa schedule. 

Kasama ko pala family ko so di pwede yung masyadong nakakapagod na way.. Hehe. Isang option ko is to just rent a vehicle airport transfer, pero baka may masuggest pa po kayo na mas ok. Thanks!

^Shinkansen sis. meron direcho from Narita to Shinjuku station tapos walk nalang to Sunroute. 1 hour train ride alam ko may choice pa dyan na mas mabilis mas mahal nga lang.

[stormy]

^^malayo ang narita sis baka mahal abutin pero if marami kayo baka sulit na rin. N'EX baka ok sa iyo, icheck mo na lang

Hello mga sis! Kamusta naman ang weather sa Tokyo ng last week of March? Malamig pa ba?

Any tips regarding sa transportation? From Narita Airport to Richmond Hotel Musashino ano ba pinaka-okay? Nag inquire ako van transpo from Narita airport to our hotel 68,000 yen.

Any reviews din sa Richmond Hotel? TIA!

May nag-DIY na ba sa inyo ng Hakone and Mt Fuji for one day only?

[lovenkisses]

For those doing Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo, pwede ko share sa inyo IT namin tsaka budget. PM me if you're interested

hi sis pashare naman please thanks

[minnie99]

Finally arranged my accommodation thru AirBnB.
Osaka - 4 nights - apartment near Shin-Osaka station ~8k php
Kyoto - 4 nights - apartment near Tofukuji station - ~14k php

Sobra lang ng 22k php for two people so 11k for 8 nights or 1,375 php per night. Not bad for an entire apartment with pocket wifi and own toilet and bath. So excited! Both apartments, futon lang, no bed.

Hayy ang tagal ng November. Next ko naman na aabangan is USJ para makabili ng tickets online. Hehe.

Hi mga sis,

How many days ba ang dapat for Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo? !0 days po ba okay na?
And Osaka po ba ang entry, mas okay?

TIA!

Hi, Can you please help me choose the right railway pass for these itineraries? We will be based in Osaka for the whole trip. We plan to get the Icoca + haruka round trip express for KIX to osaka. Ano pa gagamitin namin railway pass for the trips to kyoto, Himeji +Kobe & Nara. Naka kaconfuse kasi yung mga railway passes nila. Sulit kaya yung mga 1 day pass or 2 days passes? Any suggestion? Thanks!

Day 1 – KIX to Osaka via haruka ltd express (check in Hotel)
Day 2 – USJ
Day 3 – Rinku Premium Outlet
Day 4 – Kyoto: Kinkaku-ji + Arashiyama area (Bamboo Forest and Togetsukyo Bridge)
Day 5 – Kyoto: Fushimi Inari + Shinnyodo Temple + Yasaka Shrine
Day 6 – Himeji Castle + Kobe
Day 7 – Nara (AM) and then explore Osaka (Osaka Castle Park etc...)
Day 8 – Explore rest of Osaka and last minute shopping
Day 9 – Depart to Philippines

^Rinku Outlet is near KIX. I read somewhere na may promo sila, stopover at Rinku tapos may kasama ng shuttle to KIX (from Osaka station ata). Medyo naliitan kasi ako sa Rinku Outlet mall when I checked their map. Pero ok rin un whole day dun para relaxed un pace nyo.

Within Kyoto, you can use kahit un 1-day bus pass nila. It's only 500yen.

[chaipix]

OK thanks Sis Sevangelista! =)

[mitch2526]

Kung marunong kayo mag bicycle, at nag ooffer ng free bike yung accommodation niyo, I suggest try it!!
Super sarap mag bike sa Kyoto. Iba yung feeling.

Tsaka super walkable city naman ang Kyoto and Tokyo. I'm not such a huge fan of Osaka, masyadong magulo para sa taste ko hehe.

Ang Himeji kahit malayo ng konti worth it. Skip all other castles. Himeji lang okay na!

Basta di dapat mawala sa itinerary ang golden pavillion at kiyomizudera. Yung iba kasi magkakamuka na rin. Fushimi Inari is always a favorite of mine...

Hello all. First time to go to Japan. Tokyo muna kame. Help with my iti sana. If someone can share their Tokyo iti, it will be great. I will be travelling with my husband and 1yo daughter. So focus siguro is disney and shopping lang. May nakapunta ba Hakone with a toddler here? I want to go to gotemba outlet kasi and isip ko baka mabore si baby if malayo masyado?

Booked sunroute in shinjuku via Agoda. May free cancellation so I might consider other hotels pa. Which is better kaya - Sunroute (shinjuku) Mercure (ginza)? Airbnb parang like ko din kasi may free pocket wifi iba.

Question din about the passmo/suico pass. San ako mag buy sa airport? So from the airport ano na gagawin? Sorry panic mode. Travelking this May na kasi. Medyo panic. tiA

[kireinachean]

Sarap nga sis maglakad lakad sa Kyoto, hindi na namin nasunod ang iti namin dahil naenjoy namin ang paglalakad parang di nakakapagod, from Kiyomizu dera to Pontocho, from Tokyo Kyoto Hotel to Nishiki to Imperial Palace.

Hello! Ask lang ako kung anong phone ang gamit nio to communicate while staying in japan. Pede na ba ang smart or globe to roam? Saka magagamit rin ba ang smartphone na gamit natin dito sa pinas once na nasa japan kayo? Pede rin ba ilagay ang simcard ng japan sa phone na galing dito sa pinas?

I don't have any idea kase. Planning to go there kaso need na me communication pa rin kami ni hubby na nasa barko. Thanks!
Cenxa na rin if ot na itong tanong ko.
