HairyOrange:

Another very nice Shinjuku hotel is Keio Plaza (stayed in Premier rooms super spacious, nice view and solid amenities for adults and kids. Unbeatable location w lots of food and shopping at doorstep and sheltered walkway to Shinjuku station. Free shuttle to both Disney and Airport Express stops at doorstep.

I tried getting Keio Plaza though I see they can accommodate 4 pax but the system just refused to let me book 2A2C. Zuji also couldn't get for me. I was very disappointed. But after we returned back to Singapore for more than a week, Zuji called and asked me why I didn't check-in to Keio Plaza. Stupid Zuji.

Hi All,

I am planning for d family (2a/2k aged 12/10) for a trip in tokyo. Plan to do 3 days Disneyland n Disneysea adventure. Then day tour to Hakone area.
We plan for a week of stay in Tokyo n for d rest of free days we just want to explore the town. I am thinking of staying in one of the disneyresort but my hubby prefer we stay outside as no need to transfer to another hotel after our Disney adventure.

What you guys think? Any hotel suggestions is highly appreciated.

Though some hotel in the citycenter offer shuttle bus service to the DisneyParks but it may take 1 hour to travel. Or you can take train but it's also a long journey with changing to different lines. Not forgetting after the long day at the Parks. Thus, I would still prefer to stay in 2 hotels.

I noticed SQ has very lousy timing to Tokyo. I certainly do not want to arrive midnight and having to take the taxi to city.


May I know which airline offers direct flight to Tokyo at good timings ?

Actually I have booked through SQ for my trip to Tokyo and I find their timing is great. Departing in midnight and arrive in the morning around 8am and departing from Tokyo in the night around 8.50pm which I find that it provides us with extra time in Tokyo.

Maybe you should try to search your date one day earlier as the midnight flight leaves at 11.55pm.

Hi all,


I am going to Tokyo in end October for 9 days 8 nights and appreciate if anyone can advise how's the weather is like? Is it around 10plus degree to 20plus degree? Can we just wear jeans with a sweater or light jacket?

We have 3 adults and 1 child (6yrs). We are planning to go Tokyo, Hakone and Disneyland & Disneysea.

Can somebody help me with my itinerary? My plan is as follows:-

Day 1: Arrive in Tokyo around 8am. Travel to hotel in Shinjuku and place our luggage with hotel till time for check in. Shop around the area and get to know the train station etc.
Day 2: Travel to Hakone and do a round trip. Evening staying at a hotel in Hakone.
Day 3: Go to Hakone Kowakien Yunessun Waterpark and evening travel back to Shinjuku.
Day 4 & 5: Explore Tokyo
Day 6: Travel to Disney and check in at one of the hotels there. Either shop around there, continue with Tokyo that we missed during day 4/5 or go to Disney.
Day 7 & 8: Disneyland & Disneysea
Day 9: Sightseeing around Disney area or do last minute shopping. Taking bus to airport around 5pm for our flight back.

Appreciate if anyone can give me any advice / ideas / suggestions to maximise our stay in Japan without burning out child and grandmom. How much money should we change? Best way to do Tokyo & Hakone?

Thank you very much for all your time!

:thankyou:

so long u are not going near to the nuclear plant. I thought winter is even better cos most of your body is \"heavily\" wrapped and covered up, difficult for the cosmic rays to go thru

can check out radiation level here:

we been to Disney sea and Disneyland (USA).
The theme in DS is not as colorful as land, ,however the performance is wonderful. I find that land is more suitable for younger children and sea is more for pre-teens. you can visit their website to see what suits your family : )

Disneysea is more exciting!
My 9 year old regretted not spending more time at DSea.. ..

For kids, recommend to go Disneyland. Sea is more for adults.
