Travel: Japan - General

[alng]

zbear:

Usually travel insurance does not cover 'Act of God' or Mother Nature,


If it does, the premium is very high.

Just check...insurance covers earthquakes.

Paying premium coverage for whole family at about $150. quite reasonable.

I was also in Japan last december and experienced mild earthquake while on top of level 24 of a hotel!! scary… but thankful the epicentre is quite a distance from us. Yes do take care and take the necessary insurances

I just returned from Tokyo on Monday. Was in hotel room with my kids 4 and 6 when I experienced the tremours from ,my 27th floor room. Luckily, the hotel sent an announcement that the hotel is structurally very safe and to stay in room. Cos I panicked, hubby was out buying dinner, lifts are not working, how to run down stairs with 2 babies? Scary experience…


Another than that, my whole family love Japan…everything was so nice and fun…sigh…

Glad that everything went well...we are leaving for Japan on Tuesday.

My Jap friend told us to hide under the table if we experience a earthquake indoor.

There are lots of routes to get to your place.
The below route is with thoughts of less transfer, but might cost more...

1) Take Narita Express (3020 yen per person/1 hour) to JR Tokyo station.
2) Walk to JR Keiyo Line platform (15 mins from Narita Express platform)
3) Take JR Keiyo Line to JR Maihama station(216 yen per person/16 mins)
4) Take taxi to your hotel.　(est: 1090 yen/10 mins)

Replace step 1-3 with the below: http://goo.gl/29l1he


From the Japanese website, there is a free shuttle bus that goes from JR Maihama station. Am writing to them for you to see where is the bus stop for the shuttle bus. You can translate the below...
