Tokyo Thread 5

[7galleons]

Saan kayo nag-stay around Shinjuku Area? Ang mahal pala talaga ng accommodation sa Tokyo. Maybe because target ko din is Spring. Sa osaka nakakakuha pa ako ng P1,000 per night solo room. Cheapest na nakita ko P1,400 per night pero dorm. 20mins away from Shinjuku Station pero malapit naman sa station.

^ Malaki ang Shinjuku area sis... Yung nakuha ko AirBnB Shinjuku area siya but malapit niya train station is Akebonobashi in Shinjuku Subway line siya so since subway siya iba pa ang JR line.

Pricey talaga ang prices sa Tokyo but try to check AirBnB baka may makita ka cheaper since sa Spring pa naman ang travel mo.

Ask ko lang po.. medyo naconfuse kasi ako.. haha pwede ko ba kainin yung food na nabili ko sa don quixote? Kasi naka tax free sya tapos napacked na nila ng plastic with tape. Required ba na ipakita yung receipt sa immigration pauwi? Salamat po sa makakasagot.. yung iba kasi namin food sana nakasama na sa nakapacked.. huhu

Was told that it's only tax free if you don't open the package, but never had an experience where they checked. We always separated the food we will consume from what we will bring home.

^^sa ueno park palang parang kulang ang half day sis.

[imeego]

^ skip ko na lang siguro Odaiba, actually yung gundam statue lang naman dun gusto ko makita ng son ko pero parang di na nga siguro kakayanin

[stormy]

^dahil kids kasama mo sis baka sa ueno park pa lang ubos na oras mo if iexplore nila lahat talaga. Anak ko kasi sa tourist information bldg pa lang kalahating oras yata naubos kakatingiN sa kung ano ano. Mga museum pinasok rin nya.

Sa ikebukuro yun sunshine city hindi ba? Magustuhan rin dun ng mga bata.

[imeego]

^ LOL baka ang ending skip ko na din asakusa, plan kasi namin talaga visit yung mga museums sa ueno..baka nga dun pa lang ubos na oras namin 😆

Ask ko lang regarding visa, housewife kasi ako so bale yung bank cert at itr tsaka yung ibang reqn. Si hubby na bahala yung letter of guarantee ba applicable pa rin sa amin? Bale nakalagay doon na si hubby ang gagastos sa akin doon pero kasama ko naman si hubby. Saan may makasagot lalo na yung family kayo nagapply kasi bale 3 kami kasama yung anak ko. Anyway ok naman Airbnb sa tokyo?hindi naman siya illegal if incase ilagay namin sa visa form. Tsaka balak namin diy kasi may bata kami kasama alam niyo naman minsan yung bata biglang tantrums.

Okay lang ba sa first timer hindi mag avail ng tour package?

[itsrizzi]

Merry Christmas to all!

I am not sure if this is the right page to ask this.

As per weather app/sites, temperature in Tokyo around first week of January ranges from 12-8 degrees.  Feeling ko malamig yun and might require two layers of clothing. Enough na ba to? San mas malamig, Tokyo or Seoul during this time? We were in Seoul Jan last year and it was super lamig kahit three layers na (we had heattech as base clothing).  If Seoul level and lamig kahit paano we will bring the same items pero if hindi naman, magbabawas sana ng jackets. Sayang din ang baggage allowance.

Thanks in advance!

[kachich]

^ colder in Seoul, but you still need three layers.

[barbillie]

Subscribing! Purchased our tickets to Tokyo for autumn season 2018.
Iraos muna namin yung Seoul trip namin ng Feb, saka kami prep for Tokyo.
One way ticket pa lang nibook namin. Kasi decide pa kami whether to exit at Tokyo or Osaka.
Excited much!

My mom is a housewife though senior na siya pero sa occupation linagay ko is housewife. Hindi na namin siya guarantee ng sister ko kasi meron naman siya bank account. If wala ka bank account under your name, ang hubby mo ang mag-guarantee just to show din na enough ang money to shoulder the whole family. Yes legal naman ang AirBnB, sa form ilagay mo lang AirBnB then the address. Always specify the AirBnB alam naman ng JP embassy even sa immigration na magstay ka sa AirBnB.

Sa tour package depende sa inyo and also the budget if you want pero kaya naman ang DIY tsaka mas mura compared sa package. Just do enough research and internet connection for Google Maps. 

[airish_2]

Ask ko lang mura na ba ang 24K RT to Tokyo? O may mas pwede pa ibaba yan tatlo na kami niyan isang toddler.

[simang]
