^^dito sya pinas kelangang bilihin sis

Just got back from Osaka. Super lamig, heat packs saved us! Nabibili siya sa 7-eleven and lawson dun sa Japan. dinidikit lang siya sa damit. We went din kasi sa Mt. Koyasan and dami snow dun. Nung stay naman namin sa Kyoto, nagsnow din. Nagrrange ang temps from 8 to -2 deg C.

Super ganda sa Japan! Now I know why people fell in love with it so much.

Nag snow din sa nara when we went there

review don sa flytpack, mabilis connection kasi may partner silang telecom sa japan. pagdating ng airport on lang then connected na, 4 kaming naka-connect. sulit sya!

tip din pala, hindi na namin sinoli yong ICOCA card tutal 225 pesos lang naman deposit non. kung may plan kang bumalik ng japan hindi mo na kelangang pumila ulet para bumili, natagalan din kasi kami don sa haba ng pila.

[IamCessy]

I agree. Kami din hindi na namin sinoli yung ICOCA. Ang alam ko 10 years ang validity nun. So kung may plan kayo to go back, better talaga na wag na isoli. Besides, sayang din ang 225 pesos.

^maganda sana yong hello kitty design kaso pag yong + haruka package lang pala yon

just got back from our Japan trip! ang saya, nag snow nung nandun kami sa kyoto. pero ang ginaw talaga, siguro naka 3-4 layers ako lagi tapos bumili ako ng hand warmers. mas malamig sa kyoto kaysa sa osaka

Peak hours in the morning 8 to 9AM according to websites. Before that, around 7AM, madami na ba tao sa trains sa Osaka?

[shygirlme]

^yes sis. from Kansai non going to our hotel nag train kami ganyan time ang daming tao

[ataypool]

^thank you!

Actually kahit ngayong March, 2nd week, malamig pa rin sa Japan, pero sa Osaka and Kyoto hindi na masyado. Well that was during March 2015 when we went sa Japan. We need to go to Nikko pa to experience snow. Hahaha

Grabe I love Japan!!! Huhu. Nabitin ako. Now I know why everyone I know who went to Japan would like to come back. Around 12deg yata sa Osaka when I went tapos 4deg sa gabi. Grabe yung transportation nila. Organized. Hello urban planning! The people are friendly too! It was a solo trip so I needed help sa commute and pag-picture. Hehe.

Nag-start na mag-bloom ng cherry blossoms sa Kyoto. May photo ako sa isang cherry blossom tree. Hihi. I *heart* Kyoto!!! Hahaha.

I was able to go to Osaka, Kyoto and Nara. Highlight of my trip was the Wizarding World of Harry Potter since I'm a potterhead. Hehe. I will definitely be back soon!!!

Hi po...
for osaka-kyoto 5 days, 7 adults 1 10yo and 1 infant

kailangan pa ba namin accomodation for kyoto?

[minnie99]

^ Depende po sa itinerary niyo. Check muna kung ano'ng mga gusto niyong puntahan. See if mostly Kyoto or mostly Osaka. Then tsaka mag-plan ng accommodation.

Kung more than 1 day ang Kyoto then baka mas okay to book in Kyoto as well.

[sophistique]

^^ If you're drawn to old life's charm, I suggest staying a night (or more ) in Kyoto. It's so lovely there.

I stayed in Osaka for my Osaka-Kyoto-Nara trip.  The accommodation is cheaper compare to Kyoto. Commute via train is only 40-60mins pa-kyoto/nara. Basta choose an accommodation near a train station para madali lang palipat lipat if ever mabago itinerary nyo.

Hi Sissies! Can you please recommend hotels in Kyoto?

[IamCessy]

^ I can recommend an Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/9760660
Diyan kami nagstay. Sobrang linis nung room ang nung building. mura pa. Paglabas mo pa ng building, bus station agad.
