How about the month of June? What's the temp kaya?

Kumusta mga sis na nanjan na ngayon? Tahimik na mukhang vacation mode talaga!

Hi mga sis! I love the weather now. Hindi na super lamig. We went to sanrio puroland last friday. It rained in the afternoon. Yesterday we went to harajuku, omotesando and ginza. May ambon lang minsan but super light lang. Puwede na yung hood ng jacket. We bought kitkat at don quixote in shibuya at 280 yen per pack. But we saw a few stores in takeshita dori selling kitkat at 199 yen per pack so we bought a few more. We're off to mt fuji today. We booked our tour  thru japanican.com. Will share feedback after our tour. Wag sana umulan. 
The food here costs around 300 to 800 pesos per meal per head. It depends on where you'll eat and what you'll order. Super love namin shibuya!!! Super daming stores and restos here! Dito palang buhay na buhay na kami. 

[dooonna]

^Crowded ba din ba sis sa mga tourist spots? Kasi nung Holy week super dami talaga tao, like sa Takeshita Dori. Nakikita ko sa posts ng friends ko lol.

[ayami]

Naka light na coat din ako now. Nasa Sky Tree kami 3:30 pa sked na nakuha namin

[stormy]

^^^true sis gusto ko rin ang shibuya area. Sa Omotesando area kami una nag-stay ang dami namin choices sa shopping at sa food plus mabilis rin naman magtrain para pumunta sa ibang lugar.

Maraming beses kami nag-taxi kapag pauwi na, mahal pero dahil 3 kami at laging maraming dala sa hapon/gabi kaya sulit na rin.

Hi mga sis! Hindi na super crowded mga tourist spots kasi may school na mga students dito. Nung holy week kasi nagkataon vacation din nila eh. Yummy yung angel's crepe and marion's crepe in takeshita dori. We went to mt fuji today. Ok naman yung booking namin thru japanican.com. Sabi ng tour guide we're lucky daw kasi perfect yung weather. Ganda ng mt fuji! Super enjoy talaga kami dito sa tokyo. Next time dito ulit kami magstay sa shibuya excel hotel. Its location is perfect! We will be going back to manila tomorrow at 6pm. Wag sana mag excess baggage. Ang dami kong nashop na food!!! Mostly are different kitkat flavors, yoku moku, other cookies with fillings and tokyo banana. Hindi rin naman mahirap magtrain dito basta alam mo kung saan ka papunta. Parang same lang sa train system ng seoul. Japanese people are very helpful and honest.  There are some shops who offer tax refund din.

finally booked our ticket to Tokyo this coming August! 13k RT from Cebu Pac. pwede na since ilang months nalang naman. sana mutiply entry na ibigay samin since 2nd time namin this year sa Japan.

[dooonna]

^^Sis princess lorraine waaah kainggit! Next na din kami! Nakisama sa inyo ang Mt Fuji swerte! Kita ko sa posts ng friends ko few days ago grabe hindi na makita Mt Fuji dahil sa clouds, that's why I opted to avail na lang of the Kamakura and Yokohama tour with Japanican kasi ayoko mag-risk na mag Mt Fuji tapos abutan kami ng clouds. Saan ka sis nakabili ng different flavors ng kitkat and how much?

[shygirlme]

all year ba yung sa Mt. Fuji? baka 4 days tour lang kasi kami since 1st time ng inlaws ko balak lang namin puntahan is Meiji shrine,shibuya tapos disneyland ano pa kaya pwede namin gawin?

[glamorous_aisha]

sisses kapag saturday and sunday talaga crowded kahit saan sa Tokyo nako especially Harajuku. Iniiwasan ko ng weekends yang lugar na yan. haha

[princess lorraine]

Yes mga sabi  nga ng tour guide namin we're lucky kasi minsan hindi mo makikita si mt fuji dahil super foggy. We went to harajuku last saturday annd meryo matao nga sa takeshita dori but manageable naman. We're at narita airport now awaiting our 7:20pn flight back to manila. Ang dami din food na mabibili dito!!! Nagshopping ulit kami ng food pati royce chocolate ang mura kasi half the price in manila. Super puno din 2 chrck in luggages ko ng mga goodies for pasalubong. Happiness! 

[glamorous_aisha]

Mt. Fuji talaga is swertihan. Once kasi na medyo cloudy na wala ka na makikita.

[aceofhearts]

Just booked our RT ticket to Japan for October. I'm so excited!! Will back read for more tips and info in this thread! Keep them coming!

[valhiei_11]

Swertihan nga si Mt Fuji, first day namin hindi nagpakita puro fog lang dahil maulan. Kinabukasan nasa train na kami nung nakita namin. Hehe ok na din atleast nakita haha! 

[princess lorraine]

We bought kitkat blueberry, wasabi, cheesecake and mango tart flavors for 280 yen per pack at don quixote. Then yung strawberry cheesecake sa mt fuji ko binili at 650 yen per box. Sa airport meron din strawberry and chili flavor. Sa harajuku may mga shops na 199 yen lang per pack ng kitkat green tea, orginial and cheesecake flavors. Yung mga pinili ko kasi are yung mga wala mashado dito na flavors. 
Super enjoy talaga sa tokyo for shopping, sightseeing and food trip! Will be going there again next time with my kids naman. 

[cecilydee]

Ok ang weather ngyon. A little bit of sun. Hindi kagaya nung nakaraang araw puro ulan. 😆

[dooonna]

Anong mga ootd niyo sis? Okay na ba mha sweatshirts?

[glamorous_aisha]

usually light coats like trench coats kapag spring. pero sobrang iba din temperature minsan. like last week malamig. today naman medyo warm na. just bring a light coat and then cardigans for layering if ever lumamig.

Hi!

On May we'll be travelling to Japan and will arrive at Narita airport. We plan to visit Sensoji Temple, Sky Tree, Asakusa Shrine, Shinjuku and Shibuya on our first day in Tokyo. On our 3rd day, we'll try either Mt Fuji or Hakone day tour and will leave for Kyoto/Osaka early on our 4th day.

We are currently booked at Hotel Asia Center of Japan during our stay in Tokyo. But based on our itinerary above, could you suggest other hotels we could look into?

Hotel Asia Center of Japan is at Minato-ku, Akasaka, Minato Ward, Tokyo. Baka lang may ma-suggest kayong better placed hotel in Tokyo.
