^^nag-try lang ako sis bumili nun december kasi baka mas mahaba pila kasi pasko buti naging ok.

^nag-try ako ulit ngayon pwede talaga sis bakit kaya hindi mag-go yang syo?

[shygirlme]

^ewan ko nga sis e. Different bank tinry namin. Sabi contact daw namin yung bank. Yung sakin tinawagan ko sabi baka website daw may problem.

Hows the weather in Tokyo now? Bukas na alis namin.

Sa wakas, approved ang visa naming pamilya. Makakabalik na din ng Japan after six long years.

May 5yo son ako, ano ano kaya pwede pa namin puntahan aside from Disneyland/sea?

Thanks

Wala na ko makitang dancing olaf. 2 disney store na napuntahan namin. Sana sa disneylang meron

Bought yen narin while the exchange rate is low!

My cousin will ask her friend to buy our USJ tickets - with the fast pass, it comes out to 5K per person. Not bad!

For Disneysea I hope we can book online! If not, we'll buy on the day nalang.

Studio Ghibli, my other cousin will ask his friend to buy for us as well as I've heard tickets sell out early.

I didn't intend to shop at all while in Japan, but we'll see!

[shygirlme]

^buy ticket at any disneystore sis. We bought ours yesterday sa monday pa kami mag disneyland.

Sa mga gusto magpasalubong ng chocs buy alfort sa don quixote. 75yen lang. Ang sarap! Really enjoyed my don quixote shopping yesterday and today. Bukas uli.

[khriseeee]

^any disneystore in Tokyo? Is there on in Osaka?

[shygirlme]

^meron sa shibuya and odaiba sis nagkalat sila hehe. Wala ata sa osaka? Not sure though.

Super ganda ng weather nung stay namin malas lang last day disneyland day umulan pero ang saya pa din! I miss Japan na tuloy.

[honeybunny]

planning to go here.. inaayos ko na requirements for the visa and planning the itinerary..

i actually dont know where to start, pero 3 nights lang ang plan ko..

the hotels i am choosing are:

Hotel Sunroute Shinagawa Seaside
Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo Kamata
Grand Park Hotel Panex Tokyo

ano ok na hotel mga sis? will be arriving sa Narita airport. which one is closer sa transportation and safe community ? thanks

[shygirlme]

^we stayed at sunroute hotel last feb. Ok hotel nila near shinjuku station. From hotel we took shinkansen train to narita 1hr train ride.

[honeybunny]

what's your recommended place to visit/see pag 4 days lang kame? bale narita airport

[glamorous_aisha]

^sis may reason ba you're staying around kamata and shinagawa area? i don't recommend it kasi medyo malayo sa lahat.hindi naman super layo pero kung same price lang din naman stay around shinjuku or shibuya area na lang. narita airport is almost 2 hours from tokyo btw.

[honeybunny]

^so malayo pala ang tokyo sa narita... thanks sis.. medyo hindi ko pa naaral yung map ng japan, pero currently inaalam ko kung san yung mga places.. one thing that caught my eye is yung hot spring sa Nikko..

which airport ako dapat if gusto ko sa Nikko mag ikot ikot? interesting din yung mount fuji..

[glamorous_aisha]

^narita and haneda airports ang ginagamit for tokyo. nikko is very near tokyo as well. pati mount fuji.

[honeybunny]

^thank you sis.. if we will stay there for 4 nights lang, and around Nikko, ok lang ba to stay in one hotel the entire trip?

also we want yung hotel na japanese style, kaso wala akong mahanap na hotel na ganun sa booking.com.. mga reasonably priced naman, budget is not more than 25k for 4 nights sana if possible... pwede din mas mahal dun pero ok yung amenities..

suggestions please.. TIA

[shygirlme]

^sis try airbnb.

[glamorous_aisha]

^^ sis ang nikko ay usually for day trips from Tokyo so carry lang. never pa ko napunta dun actually. haha. okay lang na one hotel then kugn gusto niyo ma-experience yung traditional japanese hotels/inns (ryokan), meron siguro sa Nikko or kung onsen lang naman sa Hakone na lang. Medyo mahal lang talaga ang ryokan kaya okay na siguro one night lang. Usually 10,000 JPY pataas per person ang rate sa ganon.

[honeybunny]

^thank you sis. we will arrive at narita airport late in the afternoon na, so balak namin rest na lang kame then next day na yung tour. here is our tentative itinerary:

day 1 - arrival at narita airport. no hotel pa
day2 - tour Nikko toshogu shrine  and other spots na pwde ivisit
day 3 - mount fuji tour
day 4 - hot springs and shopping
day 5 - leave tokyo at 5pm go back to manila

any suggestions saan maganda magstay? should we do the ryokan on day 4 na lang for hot springs? then where do we stay the next day after that before going back to manila?

do u think the tour is feasible? first time ko kasi

any suggestions would be highly appreciated po.. thank you..

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ i'd suggest, have your lodging in Tokyo, then daytrip to Nikko and another daytrip to Fuji. Opposite directions yung dalawa from Tokyo.

[honeybunny]

^thank you sis.. gusto din namin itry yung bullet train, masasakyan ba namin yun if we go to nikko or sa mount fuji? we will stay kasi sa Narita Excel hotel on the first night, then check out the next day, then do the mount fuji, or nikko, or hot spring/ryokan experience, hindi pa namin alam alin uunahin
