Japan Thread 4

[wednesdei]

Hi, I just booked a Japan trip for me and my husband for 12 days (Feb7-18). Sa Tokyo lang kami since mahal na masyado if magpunta pa kami ng Osaka. Pa help naman mga sis ng itinerary and baka may masasuggest kayo na cheap hotel or airbnb.

First time ko to go to Japan while si husband naman numerous times na pero dahil sa work. Lagi libre accomodation nya. First time namin to look for a place to stay sana mahelp nyo ko mga sis.

Hope to hear from you gals!

Saang website pwede magpabook ng tours sa Tokyo? Like Mt Fuji, etc. Nag try kasi ako mag tanong ng land arrangements sa travel agency sa Dusit pero till now wala pang reply eh kaya baka mag diy na lang kami.

^ Try Japanican Tours 

[wednesdei]

^thanks sis

[blackgreen]

Viator kami kumuha ng mt.fuji tour. Online.

pano pala mag-charge ng gadgets if we stay at airbnb apartments?  di ba 110V sa japan?

[shygirlme]

^220v naman sila sis.

[littlemissbiatch]

^^ Japan uses 100V.

Pero most gadgets naman like phone/camera chargers and laptops can accommodate anywhere from 100-240V, and same yung plug ng Japan sa Pinas so for the most part walang problem. Check na lang the print dun sa plug to be sure. 

Usually yung hindi lang autovolt ay hair tools at kitchen appliances.

[nigella]

^thanks sis. Kita ko nga sa adaptor ng samsung 110-240V

[nigella]

mas ok ba talaga kumuha ng tour package sa mt. fuji?  ilang oras ba usually yung tour?  ang plan kc namin on day 3, morning pa lang checkout na kami sa tokyo airbnb... then before kami tumawid sa osaka punta muna kami ng hakone/mt. fuji.  DIY tour lang sana.  pero kung mas convenient kumuha ng tour package ok lang din for as long as hindi siguro kami masyado gabihin papunta osaka. and is it advisable to take the bullet train to osaka from hakone?  mas makakatipid ba sa fare and time kesa bumalik ng tokyo?

[princess lorraine]

^kaki sis dati whole day yung tour namin including lunch, mt fuji and hakone cruise. 

[blackgreen]

^^pwede naman si derecho kayo from hakone to osaka kaya lang pano luggages niyo? Yun tour namin call time 9am sa hamamatsu-cho bus terminal. Natapos yun tour mga 5pm. Bullet train from hakone to tokyo kami.

[nigella]

wala bang locker sa nearest train station sa hakone where we can leave our luggages? yun sana balak namin kung mag diy tour kami.

[blackgreen]

^meron naman siguro sis. Kasi diba meron usually sa train stations.

[ember_sky]

^^Yep halos lahat ata ng train station naman merong mga lockers.

[nigella]

thanks mga sis.  inaaral ko pa yung best route.  ang gusto lang naman namin makita kahit from a distance lang si mt. fuji.  kahit 1-2 hrs lang kami dun hindi na kami masyado mag-ikot.  pero gusto din sana namin ma-experience sumakay ng cable car sa hakone.
