[jp_jameop]

is fastpass in disneysea free of charge? and lahat ba ng shows or rides are already included sa park ticket? if no, alin alin ang di kasama sa ticket? sorry dami ko tanong...

[luvko23]

sis glyzza, super lamig sa disneyland. Lalo yung wind, kahit maaraw grabe yung lamig pag hapon na until night.  If may dala kayong kids make sure na lang properly dressed kayo dun.  We went there nung end of Dec umuwi rin kami mga 4pm hindi kinaya ng toddler ko yung lamig.

flying to tokyo next week and wala pa akong malinaw na itinerary, haha. pwede ba magpatulong, if may idea kayo. yung pupuntahan dito, nakuha ko lang sa japan guide.

MAY 29: 6AM ARRIVAL sa Narita; travel to Kanagawa kasi andun ang pinsan ni hubby. ano ba mapapasyalan dun since maaga naman ang dating namin? malapit ba hakone dun? e gotemba premium outlets?

MAY 30: Western Tokyo (from Kanagawa kame, malayo kaya?)

Shinjuku, Shibuya; Harajuku -- may pwede pa ba idagdag?

MAY 31: from Kanagawa, byahe ng maaga to  GRAND NIKKO TOKYO DAIBA (baba ng gamet) tapos punta DISNEYLAND
JUNE 1: checked in at GRAND NIKKO TOKYO DAIBA - DISNEYSEA
JUNE 2 - checked in at GRAND NIKKO TOKYO DAIBA - DISNEYLAND

JUNE 3 ? check out from nikko, transfer to HOTEL SUNROUTE HIGASHI ? southern Tokyo
--tokyo tower
--Odaiba - Venus Fort, Toyota Mega Web, may iba pa maganda puntahan sa area?

JUNE 4 - checked in at HOTEL SUNROUTE HIGASHI ? Sunday ? go to church / meet friends / tour the city /
Central Tokyo - Imperial Palace and East Gardens, Akihabara , Tsukiji Fish Market (sulit ba puntahan ang tsukiji?)

JUNE 5 ? checkout from HOTEL SUNROUTE HIGASHI
kaya pa ba sa SHISUI PREMIUM OUTLET? magiwan ng luggage sa airport, mga coin lockers?
--7:40PM DEPARTURE

MAY DAPAT/KAYA PA BA IDAGDAG? SALAMAT excited ako pero di ako magaling sa itinerary!

[shygirlme]

^sis after nyo magcheckin sa Sunroute pwede kayo mag Shibuya. Or if mahilig ka sa shrine punta ka sa Meiji Shirne tapos Harajuku then Shibuya.

Eto mga pinuntahan namin sa Tokyo:

-Asakusa Shrine
-Tokyo Tower

pwede ka din mag Tokyo Sky tree. Sa Odaiba may malapit ata na Outlet shop.

sorry di ako nakatulong masyado kasi kay Google Maps lang kami umaasa

^^MAY 29: 6AM ARRIVAL sa Narita; travel to Kanagawa kasi andun ang pinsan ni hubby. ano ba mapapasyalan dun since maaga naman ang dating namin? malapit ba hakone dun? e gotemba premium outlets? You can go to Kamakura to see the Giant Buddha. Puwede pa siguro ang Hakone and Gotemba pero amazing race na kayo, kasi transfer pa kayo ng trains, I think in JR Odawara (Hyperdia best to check). Also consider that the rush hour in Tokyo starts as early as 7AM then slows down after 3 hours.

MAY 30: Western Tokyo (from Kanagawa kame, malayo kaya?)
Shinjuku, Shibuya; Harajuku -- may pwede pa ba idagdag? - No huwag ka na magdagdag. Sa dami ng tao maski mabilis ka maglakad, mabagal pa rin. Kanagawa is in the south of Tokyo, as I remember it, it was one hour from Shimbashi to Kamakura, so it could be 90 minutes for you.

JUNE 5 ? checkout from HOTEL SUNROUTE HIGASHI
kaya pa ba sa SHISUI PREMIUM OUTLET? magiwan ng luggage sa airport, mga coin lockers?
--7:40PM DEPARTURE - sa Outlet they've got luggage storage, but only worth it ang Shisui if you have a particular luxury brand in mind pero kung the usual Gap, Nike etc, like Shygirlme said, meron outlet sa Odaiba.

I suggest sis hand carry. Hindi naman sila strict lalo na pag needs ng baby.

If you don't want to spend for Tokyo Tower or Sky Tree, try these for free

Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Decks

[mommyxthree]

Did you know you can get a free tour guide in Tokyo (and Kansai area)?  But the website says you need to apply two months in advance.  Just found out from a Japanese friend that it's possible

Not sure if I'm allowed to post the link but just search for Tokyo Free Guide . Limited to six in a group. Since it's free, we should pay for their train fare as well as their lunch and/or dinner.

sis si jane ba ang host nyo . noborito kanagawa din kami

[grace08]

sis di ba mahirap paiba iba kayo ng hotel ?

[grace08]

yes 2 fastpass lang ang pwede at the same time . first fp namin sa tower of terror then pagtry namin kumuha sa iba 120 pa raw pwede uli pero after ng 120 2 fast pass simultaneously lang . and halos pa isa isa lang dahil ang time is 505pm pa . i suggest kuha ka agad ng fp sa ibang pila then ride ka muna ng maiksi pila . then after na pwede ka na uli get fp na gusto mo attraction and then pila sa nearby attractions na di pila .

[grace08]

if you are travelling with kids or senior citizens and in big groups i recommend you stay with my host . super accomodating siya and patient with us . just to give you an idea sa expenses . party of 12 kami .
5d 4n trip never na kami nagtrain . pinahiram nya kami suica card pero di namin nagamit . everyday kami ang nasunod sa time usually 8am then nakakauwi kami 10pm to 12 am na
house 51000pesos the rest yen
disneysea tix 6400 adult 5500 junior 4100 kids
transpo one way airport to house 20000
mt fuji tour ( with gotemba outlet din) 50000
disney rountrip 10000
city tour 30000

all in all 130000yen sa 5 days namin na transpo tapos everyday she asks as kung gusto namin mag convenience store or supermarket.

rice meal naman sa 711 , lawson and family mart ranges from 250 to 500 per set . may kinainan kaming revolving sushi 100 yen per plate . total bill namin is 4000 yen 6rice topping meal and 13 sushi plates i find it relatively cheap . sa sis ko naman naka22 plates sila 3000 yen with drinks and desserts . sa noodle house naman 250 to 350 per bowl . sa mga vendo machines 130to 160 ang beverages . water in japan pwede inumin safe naman pero i still used brita water bottle with filter pero minsan nakakainom mga kids ko direct sa faucet no problem naman .

everything you buy is subject to 8percent tax pero meron naman may mga tax free for tourists.

next time pumunta kami i wont bring so much yen kasi halos lahat naman nag accept ng credit cards hassle pa dami kong coins na natira . considering the buying rate and charge ng credit card baka same din naman . pero i used my diners card no foreign transaction fee same as security bank exchange rate lang .

immigration nila are mababait . di din sila mahigpit sa liquids esp if you have kids . may sinurrender ako coffee jelly na 2 may naiwan ako isa pala di naman sinita nasayang pa iniwan ko . sa milks and water naman na nasa bottles smell check lang nila .

problem with them konti lang marunong mag english swerte lang sa host namin she studied highschool sa us . siya na rin tour guide and driver namin siya na rin interprter namin and tagabasa ng mga labels . i suggest print kayo mga pictures ng items na hahanapin nyo . i asked for a syringe binigyan ako hand gel .

kasama pala namin sa disney na hinatid nawalan ng wallet pero nakita din kinabukasan . i lost my iphone sa plane pauwi binalikan ko sa upuan wala sabi ng mga crew naku mam wala na yun sa dami ng passengers then i went sa lost and found ng naia 3 wala . then sa cebu pac admin wala naman daw . then i said pakicheck uli ayun may nakita daw ang cleaners pero malayo sa seat ko

Sis may i have the name of your host? Airbnb ba? Yung entire stay ninyo never na kayo nag train? I was thinking also of getting a van instead of train going to far places kasi baka mas mkatipid. Like you 12 pax din kami with kids pa

[grace08]

yes sis never kami nagtrain kasi dami namin kids . and i think mascheaper din siya since ang package  ng mt fuji is 12000 yen per head . and pagod na pagod ang kids . usually travel time is 1and half to 2 hours kaya kung magtrain p kayo ng 10pm pauwi pagod na . tapos ang confusing pa raw ng train system nila . 20mins away nga lang fr shinjuku yung place wala sa center

[grace08]

sis nagpm ako sa iyo details nya

[anniegurl]

Sis where did you rent the van? Pwede yung van going to mt fuji?

[grace08]

Dun din sa airbnb host namin . Di siya nagtour ng di nya guest

[grace08]

Mt fuji we paid 50000 yen

[anniegurl]

Sayang naman
