Tokyo Thread 5

[stormy]

@ellyrem, mahal talaga pag december kasi ang christmas eve natin parang valentine's day sa kanila, romantic event kaya puno halos mga hotels kaya baka mas mataas demand sa Airbnb. O baka may iba pang paliwanag na hindi ko alam pero mahal talaga.

Inabot kami ng almost 10k/night though maayos yun apartment naman.

Mag-enjoy ka tiyak sa japan lalo na pag xmas time ang punta nyo 😀

Hi sisses! Sorry now lang ako nakabalik here!

Grabe marathon pala yung itinerary namin! Hahahha buti matibay ang anak ko sa lakaran and we make sure na umiinom kami ng paracetamol sa gabi! Hahahahha kinabukasan okay na naman kami. Hahahah

Day 1- from narita airport to tam center for sanrio puro land. Maliit lang sanrio puroland pero enjoy! Mas enjoy sana kung may english translation mga shows pero overall nice nice!

Para kaming t**** sa first day hahaha kasi unti lang nakaka english sa kanila. Buti nagprint na ako ng mga place at pano puntahan kasi wala pa kami wifi. Nakasurvive naman kami. Hahaha from puroland 1 train ride to azabujuban station at from station nagtaxi ma kami kasi bitbit pa namin luggage namin hahahah

First nite namin bongga ang dinner hahahah btw ropponngi area kami. Easy access sa lahat. Lapit sa mga stations. 😊 lapit don quijote, kita si tokyo tower din. At maari ding lakarin. Pero di na namin pinuntahan. Hahaha tama na [textspeak!] nasulyapan namin sya.

2nd day- disneysea! Whoa ang init dito!!! 10am na kami nakarating kasi pagod kami. And we bought tickets online na. From house to shinjuku expressway bus station kami then bus to disneysea. Di namin nalibot lahat kasi kulang isang araw. More on adults sya pero we enjoy the show esp sa sea rider. hehe then bus to shinjuku ulit then train again to house.

3rd day - city tour via viator! Grabe naka 18k steps kami hahahhahaha lupaypay katawang lupa namin. Hahaha we enjoy asakusa temple the most plus the tokyo bay cruise. 😊 di na namin nalibot si odaiba or di na kami pumasok ng mall hahahah sobrang pagod na namin. Hahaha from ginza one ride ulit to roponngi. Dinner ulit sa roponggi.  Yung isang resto di ko matandaan name. Hahha katabi sya ni don quijote 2x kami kumain dun. And sa jonathans din hahaha kasi request ni bulinggit.

4th day - mt fuji tour. We were blessed nakita namin sya! hehe relax lang to. Kasi mahaba ang byahe. Tpos sarap ng food na kasama. hehe may lake ashi cruise din. Hay sarap sa japan. Hahahahah syper lamig sa mt fuji! Nagropeway din kami dito. hehe enjoy kaya lang umulan kaya wa kami makita sa tuktok ng ropeway hahaha pero over all 5/5 parin!

5th day - last day. Morning we went to GU ginza. Nagshop ng unti. Then sa uniqlo. Walang sale. 1 blouse for kiddo lang nabili ko sa uniqlo.  Then sa airport na ako nakabili ng anello. Hahahaha

Baka meron sa inyong may alam ng sagot sa tanong ko hehe.

I will be traveling to the US in September. I booked 2 tickets (Manila-Narita-Manila and Narita-US-Narita).

I'm arriving in Narita Terminal 1, and will depart from Terminal 3 (10-hour layover; same day connection).

Would I need a transit visa if I don't have checked baggage?

Thanks.

Hello,

For those who took Cebu Pac, what did you do on your first day? Flight arrives at 1030am so around 1pm na makakarating sa Tokyo. What were you able to do on that half day? Im staying in Shinjuku lang:) Kaya ba Meiji, Yoyogi, walk by Harajuku and Omotesando then shopping na sa Shibuya and Shinjuku? Thanks!

[shygirlme]

Hi sis, kami non nag stay sa Akihabara, since airbnb inlaws ko inuna namin sila mag check in tapos kami sa hotel. 4pm na kami naka lunch kaya nag ikot lang kami sa Akihabara area. Kelan punta nyo? baka di kayanin makagala agad. Mag ikot nalang kayo sa Shinjuku area.

[princess lorraine]

^^we took cebu pac too. On our 1st day we went to asakusa and tokyo skytree. 

[anniegurl]

Hi sis i think thats a little too much for 1 day. Meiji shrine and yoyogi will take up na almost half day if you plan to go around it. Enjoy each place take your time

[_Jasmin_]

^^^^We went to Tokyo in 2015 and took Cebupac as well. Arrived at our hotel around 1pm. I think doable ang Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree and then Shinjuku area (Tokyo Metropolitan Bldg- entrance is free!) for the rest of the day.

We are going back on the first week of September and booked an airbnb accommodation somewhere in Ikebukuro.  Still haven't finalized our itinerary. 

[rowan]

^Thank you guys! Tokyo Met Bldg and Shinjuku area na lang muna ako for the first day:)

[khriseeee]

Is it possible to DIY a trip to Mt Fuji? If so, suggestions please!

Or if a tour is better, please suggest a good one

[princess lorraine]

^we booked our mt fuji tour thru japanican.com

^sis you might want to replace one of your days for Mt Fuji or a ski resort near Mt Fuji. Another ski resort also near Tokyo is Gala Yuzawa to experience snow.

Mga sis,

Naguguluhan na ako...ano ba talaga ang mas better: Pasmo or Suica?

Thanks in advance!

[ibyangbabe]

@Cari:
This might be helpful info:

Suica is run by Japan Railways East (JR East) while PASMO is run by the non-JR public transportation companies within Tokyo. Both are usable within greater Tokyo for both JR and non-JR transportation, but Suica is also usable for JR trains at various locations outside of Tokyo.

Mga sis,

Thanks in advance!

Sis, they function almost the same - iba lang yung issuing company. A very long time ago, yung Pasmo is for subways and Suica is for JR train (like PNR). However, since mga 5 years ago, nasynchronalize na lahat. You can use them interchangeably almost anywhere in Japan. I actually have Pasmo and Suica before, but only retained using Suica in my succeeding trips.
