Travel: Japan - General

[smurf]

if you go at peak period, 1 day may not be enough to cover land and sea each. cos the rides will have very long queue, and most time, you will just be queing, unless you dun mind skipping some rides?

tankee: one day for each enuff? cos i m a kid myself lah...so will be v excited

it was enough for us, from park open to park close

important to reach there before opening and head straight for the most popular ride before queue starts to build up.

Current plan: Mid of Dec, is it considered peak season?

I always hear people said that it difficult to free & easy in Tokyo as there is language problem, worse if you have kids along but I don't agree. As long as you did your research well before your trip, you can still have an enjoyable Tokyo holiday experience! I just had mine in Apr with my 2 kids 6 yr and 2.5 yr. We enjoyed and had a lot of fun. You can visit my blog http://recipemummy.blogspot.com for more information on how to do free & easy in Tokyo with kids. Article which I have wrote:-


1) How to travel from Narita Airport to Tokyo City?
2) Where to stay in Tokyo?

I am still in the mid of writing other experiance such as Tokyo Disneyland, Hello Kitty land, Thomasland n etc. I will keep everyone post.

Cheers!

Do you have Maybank credit card? Currently maybank and cathey pacific is having promotion to Japan. Around $560 after tax. I travelled by Cathey in Apr to Tokyo at $560 too. An enjoyable flight experiance for my kids as the kids goodies bag r disney, the kids meal r nice but adult meal cannot make it. You can visit my blog http://recipemummy.blogspot.com for my holiday experiance but I haven't finish writing it yet.

halo june

i was in tokyo in april, brought my 3yo to disneyland and sea. we spent 2 days at disneyland and 1 day at disneysea. so don’t think 1 day is enough to do both.

and i stayed at the sheraton urayasu hotel near disneyland - it’s one of the disney resorts hotels. u can take a monorail wh is right infront of the hotel and the journey is abt 5 mins or less. we found it to be v convenient. we booked a package with sheraton hotel wh is abt S$500 - it includes a double room 2 tickets to disney (land or sea) each day, and free breakfast for 2 daily as well. if u r renting a car, the package includes complimentary parking too. i work out the sums
and it’s quite reasonable. breakfast is good and the airport limousine bus goes to this hotel as well.

and it’s pretty easy moving around in tokyo - F&E. my niece and sis went for a packaged tour 2 yrs ago n basically, they were always in a rush and didn’t see much of tokyo.

Thanks all for the great tips!!


Sorry got caught up with work and I am already missing this forum!!

As we are thinking of building in Osaka into the trip, as such was wondering anyone can share whether easy to find the train station from NRT airport. When arriving back from Osaka to NRT, it will stop at Ueno, Tokyo & Shinagawa, was thinking of settling accommodation around this train station. Any recommendation?

Any recommendation for hotel in Osaka must ne near to train station. Thanks all

Mid Dec, for that matter the whole winter, is generally not as good for outdoor theme parks. Too cold, no flowers and some rides may be closed.
