when i was there in march… the airport transfer i took stop at washington main hotel…so you no need to take subway


i also notice washington hotel is connected to JR shinjuku station so quite convenient IMHO

i also notice they have shuttle bus service to West Exit of Shinjuku Station in front of Keio Department Store … same bus stop as the hilton but not sure is it free

Thanks for sharing. We are not going from Narita airport to Washington Hotel directly.

Hi, I read about send baggage to the next destination while travel in Japan. Is it possible to sending the baggage to narita airport, and collect it before departure? May need to store the baggage there for 5 days. Would someone please recommend a vendor? Thank you!

Also for Disneyland Tokyo, may I know if there is any special kids activities like dress up to be princess etc ? (sorry, 1st time going so very mountain tortoise)

Thanks for sharing.

My kid had a very good experience at Bibbidi Bobbidi boutique at HK Disneyland so I was hoping Tokyo Disneyland would have the same thing but didn't find anything like that.

But I saw little girls wearing their princess costumes in Tokyo Disneyland anyway. You can also buy a costume for your kid at the Disneyland emporium if you like.

Anyone can advise when I can start to buy the entry tickets to Disneyland and disneysea? Going in Dec. Is there any place I can get with discount?


I tried their main website and seems not easy to use. Are the hotels there very hot? I have been browsing since May and it seems most are full even till dec.

buy in Nov shd be fine.
go on wk day - Jap are v enthu abt disneyland . even on normal wk days,
the parks are crowded, cannot imagine wk ends.
can get tickets from JTB, charge in Yen or HIS in Singapore . But they dun sell multi days or magic pass . You can upgrade to magical pass in the park cust serv counter.

For dressing up as Princess, serv is available fot hotel guest staying in Disney hotels ( not the gd neighbors hotels though)

Hi


Just wondering do you go to Japan free and easy or on package tour. If free & easy, how do you overcome the language barrier?

Thanks.
