Travel: Japan - General

[choonie]

Our family stayed in Sunnide Resort hotel with gorgeous view of lake kawaguchiko & mt Fuji from our room. The experience was memorable. Even the Japanese dinner was marvelous.

We'll be travelling to Tokyo mid-June. Planning to have one day each for Disneyland and Disneysea... I hope one day each is sufficient.

For those who been to HK Disneyland, can you comment on both?

After Disneyland/sea, we will move to city area but have yet to make any plan. Any recommendation?
How about food? Any suggestion? I have 2 very picky boys I hope they will be ok with the food there.

Do they have tourist train pass?

Any other useful tips to share?

Thanks so much!

You will definitely enjoy Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea!
HK Disneyland is small.

You can introduce sushi and sashimi to your boys. As they are fresh and delicious. I brought my older dd when she was 3yrs old, she loves it.

Yes there is Japan Rail pass. You need to purchase it in Singapore only in order to get the discount. If your kids are < 6, it's free. You can use this rail pass to travel from Narita to Tokyo city centre.

Day 3 is far too packed.


Ginza is very big, with many malls.

Skytree can be very pack, long queue to go up.

Skytree is a nightmare even on weekdays and my 9 year old didn't seem to enjoy it that much after all the time and energy 'wasted' de.. ... :slapshead:

Agree with tankee Day 3 too packed..

I am planning for a ski holiday in Niseko in Dec. However, I am having difficulty trying to get a hotel room that will accomodate all 4 of us in a room. Does anyone know if The Greenleaf Niseko Village is strict with their "max room occupancy of 3 people"? Would they allow 2A and 2C in a room? Child is 10 and 12.


Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I am also going for a ski Holiday in Dec.I afraid The GreenLeaf Niseko Village is quite strict with their room occupancy ,I have to book 2 rooms for 2A and 2C.Even Hilton Niseko is strict too.

Thanks BBEwee… Looks like I have no choice then… Hopefully getting an interconnecting room is no problem. Once again, Thanks!

Where to buy multi-day pass to Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea in Singapore?


Enquires a few agencies all selling one day pass only.
