hi mga sis, how much ang dapat budget of tokyo tour (yung kid friendly) like disney etc for a 5 day trip?

[gcarrie]

hello mga sis, i checked the cherry blossom forecast dates, most pala are from end of March to early April. plan kasi namin ni hubby this coming 2nd week of April. wala na ba kami talaga maaabutan? osaka/tokyo sana gusto namin puntahan. ngayon lang kasi nafinalize na pwede kami makaalis. kaso sayang naman magplano (esp sa oras and budget. mahal pa naman pag malapit na ang travel dates) kung wala naman na kami pala makikita. tingin nyo wag na namin ituloy? next year na lang?
tia sa inputs!

For all sisses na gusto makakita ng sakura, as early as now may early varieties nang nag bbloom, along with the plums na in season. Until may meron ng sakura sa bandang kawaguchiko. And of course sa northern japan.

For good coffee, try Tully's. not bad siya.

For pasalubong shopping, trinkets I recommend shopping around asakusa.
For food and snacks mga supermarket or donki, meron most major areas.

Medyo kakaiba ang layout ng Japanese stores, more of boutique sila hindi tulad satin na nasa iisang mall lahat. You guys may need to research the things u wanna buy.

For make up lovers, kakaiba experience sa Japanese dept stores. Pinaka sosyal is Isetan forst floor is usually make up and alahas, all the brands are there super enjoy tumingin tingin. Pero for drug store ere is sundrug, matsumoto kiyoshi, etc pareparehas lang yan.

Pasalubong, do try mga nori chips masarap din, and they sell salmon flakes in bottles sarap on top with rice! Japanese mayo favorite ng family ko.

Half cooked ramen in boxes, yung 1000 yen pero 3 pcs laman meron sa airport etc, any flavor or brand usually super sarap halos lahat ng natikman ko bet na bet.

Anyway till next time! Happy trip to all!

I'll be in Tokyo in 6 weeks with family members. Maski konting cherry blossoms makakita lang so we will go to Kawaguchiko (mid-April, http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6920.html) and Mt Takao (mid to late April, http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3050.html).

Totoo bang Jetstar is adding flights for Manila-Tokyo and Manila-Nagoya? If true that is good news. Ang hindi lang maganda is Jetstar's policy re third party credit card payments.

[ForeverDreamer]

In our recent trip, there's an outlet store in Kyoto called Mitsui located i Shiga Ryuo Prefecture but it's a bit far. From Kyoto Station, you will have to take the special tapid service to Yasu Station. From there, you have to ride a bus bound for Mitsui Outlet Park Shiga Ryuo. Ride is about 30 minutes. There are around 240 brands of discounted merchandise. We enjoyed shopping there especially at Nike Store. 😊

[misismimi]

thank you eveelicious! sige will check that store!

My first time in Tokyo will be in late July (summer) this year.

Doable ba during the summer ang typical must-visits for first-timers in Tokyo, or will the heat make the trip miserable? What activities are best suited for a summer in Tokyo?

Thanks!

[shygirlme]

^Mid August kami nagpunta. di naman masyado mainit. sabi nila summer pero di naman kami pinawisan.

[minnie99]

^^Sis, if you're gonna visit Disney, don't do it on a weekend. Dun lang ako nakakita ng taong nakasimangot sa Disneyland. Wala pa atang 3PM, umalis na kami. Sobrang init. Nag-away pa kami ng kapatid ko dahil gusto niya mag-stay. Or if you have to do it, dapat first day niyo para hindi pa kayo pagod. Huhu.

[misismimi]

hello sis! may I ask saan pala kayo nagpapalit ng Yen? can you recommend a good money changer? TIA!
