Hello

Any idea how long it takes to clear the immigration at Narita Airport? My flight touches down around 5.15pm and unsure if I can catch a train that departs around 7pm.
Thank you.

Anybody did 14 days DIY using the 14D JR pass?

Can share your itinerary?
Thanks.

Hi hi


We will be heading to Tokyo in December. Apart from visiting Disneyland and Mt Fuji tour, anyone can recommend any other places that we should not missed ?

It's the 2nd time for us in Tokyo but we mostly stayed around Ginza for shopping only.

This time we hope to explore more interesting places

Thank you !

Do Yokohama with cup noodle factory and chicken ramen museum!
Note that the museum in Yokohama has an admission fee of 500Y and the one in Osaka has none.
I read a lot of good reviews on the 2 aforementioned activities in the museum.

Anybody participated in cultural activities such as making simple sushi with the locals when in Japan?

Appreciate advice/tips, please.
Thanks.

Tokyo Station is a very convenient location with subways, rails and shinkansens.

I forgot to add that at Yokohama, you can walk along the "bay" and visit the Chinatown is just a train stop away.
Enjoy!

Hi Starlight,


You seems to know a lot
If we wanna stay within Tokyo and not go so far away.
Where would you recommend us to go ?
Am thinking of visiting Mt Fuji day tour + cruise
And also visit the factory outlet there
Can u recommend any other place ?

Not sure if we can have a good view of Mt Fuji as it is snowing in Dec?

Right now our planning is :
2 days in Sheraton just next to Disneyland
As will be visiting Disneysea
After which we will move to Ginza and stayed there for another 4 nights
1 day set aside for Mt Fuji tour

Thank you
