Thanks sis

[kobekitten]

Sis @kobekitten, eto ang marerecommend kong airbnb accommodation: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/7095347

Sa Ikebukuro ito, okay yung location. May malapit na konbini at may katapat na bakery. Mga 10 minutes away from Ikebukuro station north exit. Good for two, pero pwede ring three.

thank you! :-)

Hi sisses! What matcha brand would you recommend? Pupunta sa Tokyo yung mother ko. hehe. Naglilista ako ng mga papabili. Lol!

[yanchee]

Mga sis just in case tanungin kmi sa funds n dala. How much ba dapat yen ang enough sabihin?  May credit card naman kami.

[blackgreen]

^kami sis 200k yen dala namin, 9days kami. Wala naman naging tanong sa funds sa akin. Si hubby ko ang tinanong ng IO kasi walang money na nakadeclare sa kaniya.

[MedChic]

Ah wow. Tinatanong pa pala yun. Hmmm... 10 days kami ni husband, i am thinking of bringing in not more than 100k Yen. Covered na lahat ng malalaking expenses.

Food, pasalubong, mga entrance fees and mga konting transpo not covered by our JR pass. Kasya na siguro yun. May credit card din if napasobra ng shopping. Hehe.

^sa likod ng immigration form may tanong dun magkano dala mo na money, don't leave it blank para hindi na maquestion. Maybe you can write 100k yen& above anyway hindi ka naman hahanapan ng IO.

^sis sayang naman kung hindi niyo masulit disneysea. Sa odaiba kasi madami din mapupuntahan.

If I want to see the cherry blosssoms in full bloom in Kyoto and osaka sa 2017 ok ba na travel date ang April 1 to 7 or mas ok kung medyo late na date na kunin ko?

[candygrenade]

^ I come to Japan every spring for the cherry blossoms. This is a good date. Any later than that, they might already be starting to wither and fall

[pret_ty68]

^
Thank you sis. Just in case maisipan ko rin pumunta nang tokyo almost same dates rin lang ba ang pag bloom nang cherry blossoms?

[travelling_daisy]

^^^^sis blackgreen, we'll drop Odaiba na lang, Disney Sea na lang muna. Next visit na lang ang Odaiba. How about the other days, doable ba? Thanks!

[blackgreen]

^sis okay naman day 2. Day 7 magkasunod din namin ginawa yun tofukuji and fushimi inari (nilakad nga lang namin to ni hubby). Nara deer sorry cannot comment, di kami nakapunta diyan. Day 8 naman, baliktad lang tayo inuna namin kinkakuji, tenryu-ji then bamboo grove. Doable naman yun itinerary mo medyo nakakapagod lang kasi puro lakaran sa japan though busog naman eyes mo so okay lang 

[princess lorraine]

Hi! I have just booked our tickets to tokyo. Kami lang ni hubby this time. Sana mabigyan kami ng visa, sana multiple... It will be my 2nd time in tokyo while it will be hubby's 1st. Medyo budget trip lang kami this time. 8th wedding anniv [textspeak!] namin sa june. We stayed at shibuya excel hotel tokyu last year. But this time hindi kaya ng budget ko dun eh. Can you suggest other hotels that are cheaper yet ok din? I am currently eyeing on hotel sunroute plaza shinjuku. Any other suggestions please? Thank you. 

[blackgreen]

^hi sis. You may want to try Hotel Grand Arc Hanzomon. Hanzomon area nga lang siya pero okay din kasi yun hotel view mo yun imperial palace.

[princess lorraine]

^thank you so much for the suggestion sis. Kaya lang i checked the rates in agoda. Ang mahal niya sobra sa travel dates namin. Hehe. Thanks sis
