Osaka & Kyoto, Japan Thread 3

[summer_princess]

Hi sissses!
Is 50k pesos enough na kaya pocket money for 2?
Accomodation excluded.

7day trip osaka, kyoto & narra area.

Basicially more on food + entrance fees. Hoping to squeeze a minimal shopping.

Sana pwde na yun, or do we need to allot more?

[Maple19]

Sis summer princess, I think keri naman ang 50k for 7 days as long as di splurge sa food. Naka 35k kami for 5 days (hindi kasama pasalubong), although splurge na yan sa food and hindi kami nag USJ.

Sa osaka pinakamura magshopping, pricey sa kyoto. Breakfast namin bumibili na lang kami sa lawsons. And madami din naman pwedeng pasyalan na libre or walang entrance fees. Sa Nara wala kaming gastos kasi nag Nara park and yoshikien garden (free for foreigners) lang kami, and sa kyoto madami ding places na libre naman.

I think 30k at least per person. So 60k for 2 should be enough. Inabot ata kami ng 50k per person, but I think that was including accom, insurance, baggage, etc.

[summer_princess]

Thanks sisses! Will update here again if achive ang 50k for 2 pocket money namin.

 Btw, got an airbnb 2br suite for just 2k+ a night (peso) its in Chome Shimanouchi GRACE NAGAORI 702, Ōsaka-shi, Ōsaka-fu 542-0082, Japan wish ko lang maganda ang location :-)

^sa recent trip namin. 39k each lang nagastos namin. kasama na airfare, airbnb konting pasalubong shopping. medyo tipid ng konti sa food since breakfast at dinner namin 711 or family mart tapos 1 lang binibili namin share pa kami ng husband ko. ang laki kasi ng serving nila

Mga sis pa-help naman sa itinerary. 😊We are travelling with a 2year old toddler. Please advise if doable or may pwede pa kami idagdag, or if tama ba yung mga places na pinagsama ko sa isa day i mean yung medyo nasa same area lang to save sa travel time 😊


Day1 late check-in Osaka Hotel (eta 8PM)
Jan.12 Osaka Castle, Osaka Castle Park, Sumiyoshi taisha, explore Minami District/Dotonbori
Jan.13 USJ, Osaka aquarium,  bay area (ferris wheel, naniwa food theme park)- di namin plan mag whole day sa USJor adviseable ba na dapat whole day talaga?
Jan.14 Himeji Castle, Kids plaza, nakanoshima park (umeda)
Jan.15 Nara Tour/ afternoon Check in Kyoto (explore Gion area, we are staying in Gion kasi)
Jan.16 Biwako Valley Day trip
Jan.17 Arashimaya, fushi inari shrine, golden temple
Jan.18 Kyoto Zoo,  toei kyoto studio park, kiyomuzidera
Jan.19 late flight kami 8PM parang plan ko relax na lang sa last day or meron pa ba kami pwede puntahan na di masyado malayo?

Thanks mga sis 😊

[minnie99]

^ hi sis

USJ - depende kung balak niyo mag-rides. I suggest to check kung anong balak niyong gawin dun (WWOHP lang ba?). If half-day lang, try late afternoon kasi discounted ang tickets kapag 3pm ata...

Jan 17 - Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Golden temple
Malayo 'yung Arashiyama and golden temple sa pagkaka-research ko. I am not sure if there are direct public transpo from Arashiyama to Kinkakuji. Depende din sa gusto niyong gawin sa Arashiyama siguro. Pwede sa 19 mag-Kiyomizudera/Inari, or sa 15, then explore Gion on the 19th. 8pm din flight namin palabas ng Japan, pero nasayang kasi super aga namin sa airport. Mga 11 pa lang nasa Kyoto Station na kami tapos 1 papunta na sa KIX. Marami pa magagawa sana.

hangover pa ko sa Osaka-Kyoto trip namin. 2nd time ko na but still gusto ko pa rin bumalik ng Autumn. Lalo na sa Arashiyama - naiimagine ko kung gano kaganda yung mga greens doon sa Autumn. Hay I am in love with Kyoto.

Anyway, reco ko rin ang Airbnb namin haha. 1k/night lang kami for 3 pax pero good for five yung apartment. May pocket wifi. As in mga 95 m away lang sya sa subway red line which can transport you to Umeda and Namba in a few mins. Near Hankyu line din going to Kyoto and around 600 m to a JR line. PM me for more info. Haha! Natuwa kasi ako sa host namin sobrang bait na gusto ko na sya maging grannie ko  . Effort pa sya talagang imeet kami.

I can't seem to PM you. Maybe because I am a reactivated member. Can you share where did you stay coz I am planning for my trip this April. TIA!

If it doesn't cost much, go lang. Nag DIY lang kami in Kyoto then followed the walking itineraries I saw online. Doable naman sya.

[100%K]

^Thanks!    I have an IT na though DIY lahat haha.  I still have a month to go to polish it pa so let's see!

[rocky]

hi mga sis, ask ko lang kung san ok na malapit sa osaka na may snow. may na-research akong Katsuyama pero di ko pa alam pano mag-commute & kung doable ba na daytour lang. TIA

[IamCessy]

^I heard Mt. Koyasan minsan nagssnow din. Malapit lang siya sobra sa Osaka.

[nigella]

first trip ko to japan this may... backread pa ko dito sa forum and nagresearch din ako online.

may nababasa ko online na dapat daw parati may suot na socks since kailangan remove yung shoes when you go to temples and even restos.  tsaka dapat daw avoid yung shoes na mahirap remove.  true ba ito?  since spring naman when we go there i think hindi naman sya ganun kalamig so instead of wearing boots, plan ko sana rubber shoes na lang ang isuot pero without socks (para bawas sa laundry).  yung rubber shoes ko sakto lang yung sukat and masikip na kung may socks... medyo hindi din sya madali alisin kaya hassle kung parati ko sya tatanggalin.

[rocky]

^^thank you sis, sa feb punta namin kaya sayted makakita ng snow. hehe!

[IamCessy]

^Kami din sis sa feb ang punta! 

[nigella]

dun sa mga nakapagrent na ng portable wifi... pwede ba syang gamitin anywhere in japan?  pwede ko ba sya magamit from tokyo then sa osaka and kyoto?
