Pls see my trip report over http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/japan-271/trip-27-short-short-trip-4964612.html

Looks like we covered similar places, but I was there the first week of April to catch the cherry blossom. I took SQ and went in Fukuoka and out Osaka. We \"chased\" the cherry blossom from Miyajima to Okayama to Himeiji to Kyoto to Osaka!

The web link to HWZ Japan Travel has alot of information but difficult to zoom in particular interest such as mine for Hokkaido winter trip. Wonder have you done any winter trip to Hokkaido (any skiing?)? If so, pls direct me to the link for your itinerary...would love to see your planning up to hourly stage... :salute:

My DS loves anime…where in Tokyo I can get all these anime books/stuff? Where and when can I catch cosplay?

[dimitri_can]

You can try Mandarake.

Cosplay: Maybe at Harajuku on Sun?

I don't really have 1 up to hourly stage for Hokkaido and also because i don't like skiing, so i don't have any for skiing.

Thanks dimitri_can for your feedback.


Since u had travelled 27x (guessing base on your trip report#) to Japan, like to check base on your experiences whether getting Dec open jaw air return ticket to Sin->Hadena->Sapporo->Hadena->Sin at price of ~$900 to $1k from ANA or JAL is it considered Ex? (Checked airflights will not be those latest boeing 787)…Which is better?? Is there any upcoming promo that you would know of? Thanks

[dimitri_can]

my suggestion to save more.


SIN->KIX
KIX->CTS (Sapporo) via Peach (can be v cheap / http://www.flypeach.com )
CTS->NRT->SIN

In your case, you should start looking out for tickets around Jul/Aug period?

[dimitri_can]

$900 for me considered expensive, but during Dec period i think it’s considered quite worth it already. Especially it’s full-fledged airlines.
