sis projectgora

Feedback if pwede magpeople watching lang sa Niseko after your trip. Gusto lang din namin makahawak ng powder snow pero ayaw namin magski. Daytrip lang kami. hehe

Try niyo din Nanda Seafood Buffet! Mukhang masarap!

[kachich]

^powder snow you can go to Yamagata / Niigata / Kanazawa / Gifu Prefecture. No need to go to Sapporo.

[kabes]

may question po ako. 1st time po kasi namin magjapan ni hubby and wala kami kakilala dun. nakakuha kami ng ticket for 14k roundtrip, and for 2 na, pero september 2019 pa ang alis.

need ba talaga ng JR PASS? may mga single journey tickets naman ang train di ba? di naman kasi kami bullet train

eto plan namin

day 1, manila osaka
day 2, explore osaka
day 3 explore kyoto
day 4 explore kyoto (then sa gabi, mag night BUS kami to fukuoka, 8hours daw yun, so we sleep sa bus, then am na dating fukuoka)
day 5 explore fukuoka
day 6 fukuoka manila

[projectgora]

^with this itinerary sis, no need to purchase a JR Pass. It won't pay off. Mas okay na mag overnight bus kayo papuntang FUK. Okay nayang itinerary nyo sis

Meron daw 90 minute time limit ang Nanda Seafood sis so baka hindi masulit considering lulutuin pa yung food. Meron na ako list ng restaurants na pupuntahan. Nakaka excite haha!
1. Gotsubo - cheap but fresh oysters
2. Ebisoba Ichigen Sohonten - prawn-based ramen
3. Nemuro Hanamaru - conveyor belt sushi
4. Daruma Honten - Genghis Khan
5. Suage Honten - curry soup

Medyo pinag iisipan ko pa yung Niseko kasi 3 hours ang byahe from Sapporo eh hindi naman ako mag ski. Baka try ko na lang yung malalapit na ski resorts sa Sapporo.

[MS_JanDel]

^ Sis balak namin mag Biei/Furano. Maganda ang sites doon pag winter. Nagahanap lang ako ng tour na pwede kasi medyo malayo siya sa Sapporo.

ay ganun 90mins? Pero pwede na samin ni hubby. hehe

[kabes]

Thanks. Super clear and precise answer. hahaha. sa ibang forum o google search ang daming ifs and buts. heheh

akala ko required ang JR pass

Just came back from our 9-day JP trip and as early as now, pinplano na namin na babalik kami next year. Traveled as a couple and first time namin both so it was easy to set high expectations, and infeyr, Japan didn't disappoint. Babalik-balikan mo talaga sya.

Just some thoughts and tips:

-Nov 21-29 travel dates namin, peak autumn na in some parts in Kyoto tapos yellowish na leaves in Tokyo. Overall, ok to travel around these dates kung gusto nyo mag foliage viewing

-nag book kami ng unlimited 4G wifi router via KK day for 1,900 pesos for 9 days. Mabilis, walang hassle sa pickup and drop-off, nagagamit pa nga namin to watch Netflix sa gabi.

-underwhelming yung Fushimi Inari Shrine (sorry phowz). Pang IG lang talaga sya. That is, kung may patience kayo na akyatin yung buong shrine to get a good shot na walang tao. Otherwise, ninja moves pagkuha ng pics. As in.

-if you are in Kyoto, get the 1-day bus pass. 600 yen lang. But make sure na planado yung mga pupuntahan for the day para masulit. Dinadaanan nito kinkakuji, and other famous tourist spots.

-nasa Don Quixote lahat ng murang ref magnets and Japan t-shirts. Ok din mamili dun for other pasalubongs

-ok na ok mamili sa Daiso nila! As innnn. 108 yen lang versus 88 pesos dito. I found exactly same things na binili ko sa Daiso sa Pinas na mas mura sa Japan. Ang sakit sa puso

-revel in the moment, wag puro picture. Hehe. May one time na nasa Kiyomizudera kami tapos saktong may autumn illimination against a full moon, sobrang ganda nung moment I purposely forgot to take pics.

-Google Maps lang ginamit namin throughout the trip. Nakaraos naman. Lol.

-enjoy!!!

Hi sissies. Pwede ba makahingi ng IT for our Japan trip. Mid July travel dates for 10 days. We will be arriving Tokyo, Narita. 3 lang kami me, hubby and 5yo kid. Tsaka recommended hotels but not expensive and may sariling toilet. TIA

[halsimkarim]

I was in Japan last october to Nov2 2018. I went to Tokyo, Nikko, then down to Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Nara. Nasulit talaga yun Japan Rail pass. Bitin pa din yun 10 days kasi ang daming nasa itinerary na di na napuntahan. Super sarap balikan.

[Ms. Lavender]

Me and my h2b are planning to go to Japan for our honeymoon. Gusto sana namin autmn pumunta kaya lang alanganin yung dates ng alis namin Mid October. Kumusta ang weather sa Japan ng Mid - Late October? Medyo malamig nadin ba nun?

[minnie99]

I think malamig na rin but if you want foliage baka sa Nagoya mas okay pumunta. 1st week Nov kasi pumunta kami Osaka Kyoto, di pa lahat ng leaves red.

[MS_JanDel]

Hello mga  sis. Okay lang kaya ang pasa namin na itinerary for visa purposes ay tokyo lang? Kahit mag Tokyo- Sapporo kami? hehe. May ticket na kami, hindi naman nila ittrace? Thank you.

[kachich]

^okay lang yan.

Ms. Lavander
Late October fall foliage - fly to Tokyo, go to the Northern part (Lake Towada, Hitachi Flower Park for the Kochia, dami options to be honest). If flying to Nagoya -- Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route (can also be reached from Tokyo).

But tbh for Autumn foliage -- I prefer Korea 😁 (Late October/First week November)

[MS_JanDel]

^Thank you sis! hehe. Applying next week. Sana maapproved kami.

Hello!
Nagbook kami MNL-Tokyo-MNL via Cebupac. Dec 10-17 travel dates. Php16,790 for 2pax, excluding baggage
 Ok na ba Yun? 🤔

[fifi_girl]

^sis darkjuliet, medyo mahal yung ticket niyo. May booking kami this May, cebupac din, 16k++  including 20kg luggage allowance. Jetstar mas cheaper, kaya lang alanganin yung oras ng flight nila
