[glamorous_aisha]

^^ sis where did you get the 10k limit info? it's actually 1,000,000 JPY.

[princess lorraine]

Hi mga sis, ang alam ko ang limit is only up to 10,000 usd or its equivalent in other currencies. 

[projectgora]

^Right. 10,000 USD or or its equivalent in other currencies. Masyadong maliit ang 10,000 PHP mas lalo na ang 10,000 JPY

Pag late October ba may autumn colors na?

[simplykristine08]

Medyo malamig na daw ngayon sa Tokyo. nasa 22 degrees na.

[fittotravel]

@beachpatrol: Usually, mid-November talaga lumalabas ang autumn colors. Sa Kyoto (Arashiyama, early December pa). Refer to this link (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2014.html). Magsisimula na silang magreport ng autumn colors by Sept. 16. Ginamit ko rin itong guide last year. 

[glamorous_aisha]

medyo malamig na dahil hindi na kami nasisikatan ng araw 2 weeks ng puro ulan. haha. pero mukhang iinit pa ulit after this week. pero hindi kasing init ng august.

[unwantedP]

oh no buong stay namin sa Japan umuulan pala. Sept 15-24 kami sa Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo. Hassle may payong kaming dala everyday na mamamasyal.

Mukhang cancel na lang din siguro yun Mt. Fuji kasi pag umulan hindi din naman siya nakikita diba?

Feels like 22 degrees ba or colder since maulan? Unang plan ko magshorts lang. Kaso baka colder na pala. I will also bring a cardigan if ever, yun leather jacket baka masyadong mainit naman.

[shygirlme]

^ang hassle nga pag umuulan! Sa 7 days namin 1 day lang umulan disneyland pa! Pero buti may free payong sa hotel naiuwi pa namin haha ganda kasi

[glamorous_aisha]

sisses yesterday was 19 degrees. mas malamig talaga pag gabi. baguio weather na soemtimes colder. malabo talaga temperature kapag changing seasons.

Since Tokyo ka lang, don't buy JR Pass na. Just purchase a Suica or Pasmo card sa train stations.

[rasee16]

Sis unwantedP, sabay ang flight natin. Sa 15 din kami. Huhu wag naman sana dere-derecho yung ulan.. hassle tsaka pangit sa pictures.. :-(

[fittotravel]

@honeybunny: No need to buy a rail pass, sis.

- Take The Narita Express or Keisei train from Narita Airport to Shinjuku using a Suica or Pasmo card (cheapest JPY 1,230/person)

- From Shinjuku, take the Mt. Fuji Highway Bus. (one-way ticket at JPY 1,750). This bus stops briefly at Fuji-Q Highland then makes it way to Kawaguchiko. This is the most convenient way to reach Fuji-Q and Kawaguchiko from my experience. You can also take the train to these places but that would entail train transfers and short walks.

- I haven't been to Yeti Snowtown but it looks like it's much closer to Hakone than the Five Lakes. Public transpo looks a bit challenging, too. Please post a trip report once you get back para magka-idea kami how to go to there.

Happy trip!

[glamorous_aisha]

^i agree hindi convenient ang public transpo around fuji kaya a lot of people opt for bus tours. we usually just drive when we go there as well.

[shygirlme]

^czarina po. Don ako lagi bumibili.
