Travel: Japan - Tokyo & Disneyland

[hmsg]

Finally settled the accommodations and air tickets… probably going to Disneysea and universal studios…


Can anyone advise if it is good to visit Mt Fuji in June? Some said it will be covered by clouds and not worth going…

Any other must see? Any tips on good lobangs?

Any idea if their Sanrio product is it very expensive in Tokyo?

Looking for some vintage little twin stars/keroppi stuff....or if you know of any places sell such stuff? Thanks!

Either go to Kiddy Land at Harajuku (but they sell non-Jap toys like Barbie as well) or take subway to TOKYO station, B1 Basement First Avenue (all the Japanese toy and stationery shops are in this underground mall including Plarail, Tomica, NHK characters, Sanrio, Shinkansen, Keropi, Doraemon, etc.).

Oh, thanks so much for the shopping tips! Will sure put that into my itinerary .....

Any benefits to buying the Disneyland/Sea tickets online versus on site?

Also is it good time to visit Fuji? Understand that it will be cloudy during June…

Hi hmsg,


It is better to buy the tix beforehand. I’m not sure which date you intend to visit the parks. Many years ago, had experienced tix sold out while on the way to the park at Tokyo station.

hmsg,


How about day trip to Hakone? Very beautiful and nice place. There is a direct train operate from Shinjuku station by Odakyu co.

We did a round trip in Hakone last year.

The open air museum is worth visiting.

Thinking of a 1-day Mt Fuji, Hakone day trip. Take bus there and bullet train back...

Hope this help in your planning
