I miss Japan na! It's our 2nd time pero gusto pa din namin bumalik. Since we're with my inlaws binalikan lang namin yun mga dati namin napuntahan. Pero we skipped Meiji shrine since mainit tamad kami lumakad ng malayo we went to harajuku nalang. Tapos 2x kami bumalik sa shibuya kasi nagustuhan nila yung Ichiran haha! Nung weekend akihabara lang kami since may event si bro in law. But my sis in law and I enjoyed shopping sa akihabara. 3x kami bumalik sa don quixote. Tapos we ate sa Ippudo pero mas bet pa din nila Ichiran although complete ingredients sa Ippudo sabi ng dad in law ko pero ss tastes Ichiran pa din. They also love the concept in Ichiran kasi. On our last day we went to Disneyland. Ayun maulan. Luckily our hotel gave us free umbrella (na madami nanghihingi haha) pero 2 lang nakuha namin since kami lang ng husband ko nakacheck in sa hotel my inlaws kasi sa airbnb sila since 3 sila. 10am kami dumating sa Disneyland. And since Monday at pinalampas namin long weekend (for sure madami tao) ayun ang konti halos ng pila! Nung 1st time namin ng husband ko hindi kami masyado nakasakay since ang haba ng pila. Mickey show at starwars lang nasakyan namin kasi 2hrs kami pumila tapos papic kay mickey naka 2hrs din kami pila. Nung punta namin, hindi lang kami kay mickey nakapagpapic pati na din kay minnie mouse! Tapos ang dami namin nasakyan. At since maulan di na naman namin napanood yun electric parade nila dumaan lang uli sila. Di na namin hinintay yung fireworks 845pm kasi e baka naman di na din tumuloy kaya umuwi nalang kami.

Sa foodtrip. New discovery namin.
-ikinari steak. Asidente lang namin nakita to. Our 1st meal in tokyo at 4pm. Angus beef steak for only 1300 yen. Ang sarap ng steak nila! Yun nga lang nakatayo ka kakain.
-Ottimo Kitchen. Infront of our hotel. Watteras Mall. We love their 4 cheese pizza na lalagyan mo ng honey ang sarap talaga! Affordable pa. 2x kami kumain lunch and sa last dinner namin sa Japan.
-Mister Donut. I never like MD here in manila pero sa Japan super sarap! 3x yata kami nag breakfast dito
-Dennys. Masarap yun breakfast set meal nila ang sarap ng sausage kahit maliit.
-Restaurant Hokusai in Disneyland. Nung unang punta namin ng husband ko nag sandwhich lang kami sabi nga namin sana naghanap kami ng magandang kakainan e. Since gusto ng inlaws ko rice eto nakita namin. TonKatsu menu nila ang sarap! 9000k yen bill namin good for 5. May 2 extra rice at 2 dessert na kasama.
-family mart. Since may family mart sa baba ng hotel namin natry na namin mga food nila at ang sarap!
-forgot the name of the store pero may kinainan kami sa narita airport na kinainan din namin last time ng husband ko. Tonkatsu din menu nila.

At syempre nag hoard kami ng tokyo banana at royce sa narita airport. Kainis lang bilis ng expiration date ng royce.

Sorry napahaba miss ko na kasi Japan napasulat tuloy ako ng review.

^medyo unpredictable since transition from summer to autumn. pero sakto lang temperature. parang baguio lang. pero around september may mga days na mainit pa din. with cup noodles ask the staff kung meron silang nakabox if you want  to hoard.

Were also travelling 2nd week of September. Mainit pa siya and may chances of rain right? Or malamig na din? Pwede pa ba mag shorts/skirts/dress and flat shoes?  Di ko sure what to pack, if autumn clothes na or summer pa. Haha! I checked weather forecast and temp ranges from 30-19deg.

SEP 20. - sunday punta niyo di ba? if possible book the bus earlier. at matao sa fujiq ng sunday expect 2-3 hours wait per attraction. feeling ko hindi kakayanin ng until 5pm lang. dati kami inintay namin magbukas yung fuji q ng 8am. until closing kami. ang napuntahan lang namin inuna namin yung horror house(hospital) since may limit ng visitors everyday at yung 4 main roller coasters.
ay sis ako lang ang sasakay ng rides, mga dalawa lang ;D not a super fan of rollercoasters kasi. gusto ko lang makita and tanaw si Mt Fuji from there diba? Just in case di namin makita sa Lake Kawaguchiko. Pero para sure magbook na nga din ako ng later bus, mga 7-8pm hehe. Tutal pagbalik Tokyo wala na naman magagawa. May restaurants ba sa area ng Fuji-Q pang dinner?

SEP 21. - oks lang pero bakit ganun transfers mo? why are you going back to tokyo teleport? pede lakarin un
sis from Tokyo Tower yung walk back to Akabanebashi Station, then from the station daming transfers papuntang Gundam (Akabanebashi -> Roppongi -> Ebisu (Tokyo) -> Osaki -> Tokyo Teleport) kaya isip ko kung Shinjuku -> Tokyo Teleport na lang diretso, tapos morning. Then backtrack, tokyo tower after gundam then Ropponggi Hills. Or worth it ba yun light show ng Gundam sa gabi?

Quote
SEP 23. - medyo paguran to pero carry naman. basta 5am kayo dapat sa tsukiji if you want to see the something.
Sis blank pa yun Sep 23 namin, di ko sure alin ang 'tourist spots' dun sa Imperial Palace, Ginza, Akibahara, Asakusa and Ueno. Basta yun 21 and 22 medyo fixed na. Ropponggi Hills, Tokyo Tower, Odaiba ang alam kong pinupuntahan talaga duon sa Tokyo hehe

Thanks sis. So tipong, mga cardigan lang ang bitbit namin na pang lamig. Tapos pwede pa mag shorts pala at fitflops. with regards to cup noodles, merong mga naka box, parang 20 pcs per box. wala naman sigurong limit yun ano?

sis unwantedp: kung hindi niyo kita yung mt fuji sa kawaguchiko i doubt you'll see it too in fuji q. ibig sabihin lang talaga masyadong cloudy so kahit umikot ka wala kang makikita. meron restaurants pero hindi ko alam kung pwede lakarin or may public transpo. usually kasi naka-car kami pag pumupunta dun.

sa gundam gabi na nlang kayo pumunta if you want to see the show. never ko pang napanuod o narinig yung light show sis so I can't comment. check hyperdia.com parang masyadong madaming transfers yung papuntang odaiba mo check mo din yung isa pang station na hindi tokyo teleport baka less hassle.

actually kapag tokyo kung cultural tourist spots usually asakusa and imperial palace. yung mga binanggit mo ay kung trip ang modern side of tokyo.


sis simplykristine08: pwedeng cardigan or lights coats/jackets. depende kung lamigin ka or hindi. shorts okay lang. pero beach sandals or flip flops are usually frowned upon unless you're going to the beach. may mga stores na nagse2t na ng limit sa mga bilihin because of chinese people hoarding. pero tnaong ka lang sa staff nung store.

Hi sis, we'll be going to tokyo this december with the whole family. I read na 0-10 degree celsius ang temperature. We've never experienced winter so ano ano ba ang mga dapat nameng iprepare na clothes? Thanks in advance :)

Last December nandiyan ako maximum was 5 degrees. Hirap maglakad and umuulan pa.
Thick coats, socks, thermals (Uniqlo Heattech the best), sweaters, scarf, beanie, gloves, comfortable shoes. A lot of help are those pocket hand warmers.

^^tama si sis ataypool. bring a lot of thermals lifesavers yun. usually i have 3-4 layers of clothing for december. thermal shirts or camisole, top, cardigan or sweater, then a thick coat. minsan before the thick coat makapal na cardigan pa. and bring warm scarves. lamigin ako haha that's why I don't go out much during winter time.

^^sis i know what fitflop is. hindi ko naman sinabing pagtitinginan ka. frowned upon lang. hindi masyadong halata tumingin ang japanese people. there are filipinos who are living here that wear fitflops or sandals similar to that.  okay lang naman kung gusto mo magsuot nun i was just informing people here as well.

sa pasalubong, chocolates are good saka ibang snacks like rice crackers (osembe) kasi individually packed na mura pa.

Sa sobrang dami ng tao sa Tokyo lalo na sa Shibuya, not advisable to wear fit flops/sandals. Maaapakan ka lang, magkasugat ka pa. Better wear protective clothing/shoes.

^^ Pero in fairness sa mga tao sa Tokyo, kahit palagi sila nagmamadali careful pa din sila. Nung nag travel kami last April, hindi kasi ako sanay sa mabilisang lakad pag madaming tao, pero never na may nakaapak sa shoes ko :) Amazing nga eh.

What if Mainlander from China nakaapak sa iyo pala na madami sa Tokyo?  :)  Bigla na lang sila humihinto sa paglalakad to take selfies.

Praning na kasi ako naapakan na rin ako in a crowded place. When I'm on holiday I take extra precaution, maski simpleng bagay lang. Ayaw kong masira holiday.
