Booked our air tickets for Jan 2017. In Jan we should be dressed in winter clothing right?


Any hotel to recommend for Tokyo Central? Or any service apartment to recommend? Want to do some grocery shopping and cooking broccoli meal for my #1.

Yes. Have u decided on your itinerary?
Whats ur budget for your hotel and how many adults and children?

Try checking out keio plaza and citidines but all fully book for the dates i am looking at. I am not sure if its still early and they only accept booking closer to the date.


Or should i start to worry about sourcing for the perfect hotel for us? Or it has to do with my setting? Finding room for 2A 2C is like finding needle in ocean

2A 2C on our travel team. As my kids are quite young so want to take it slowly. Want to let my #1 take some train and the bullet train too. (His favourite transportation).

Still researching on places to go. We will be there for 10 days.

Miyijima
Yokohama (noodle musuem)
Mother Farm
Disneyland and Disneysea
Fish Market
Viewing of Mt Fuji

Hotel/ryokan must be clean and cosy. Suitable for kids.

Hotels for Jan 2017 is still quite far ahead, u can start to look around Aug/Sept 2016 as most of the hotels don`t open their reservations so early.... For 2 adults and 2 children, its quite hard to find accommodation unless u split up to 1 adult and 1 children in 1 room, but then again, there are also family rooms or feel free to look for airbnb (some law restrictions are ongoing)...

Which airport are u using for arrival and departure?

My suggested route for you

Tokyo
1) Disneyland n Disneysea
2) Mother Farm
3) Fish Market

Yokohama
1) Cup Noodle Museum

Hiroshima
1) Miyajima

Shizuoka
1) Mount Fuji
