Dear all,

Thanks for your information

My boy is not going to wear anything inside the thermal I thought it is supposed to be the first layer ? He will wear a fleece sweater and pants, then a down jacket outside.

I just went to Daiso yesterday, their heat packs are sold out. I will try Winter Time. I will not be in central Tokyo until the day before we return. We will be in Disneyland, then traveling up to the snow mountains of Hakuba which will be a lot colder than Tokyo. It may not be convenient for us to buy things.

Tam,
Coldwear and OG has it too.
If not, try to get them from convenience store in Narita Airport.

I Thoth not supposed to wear anything under thermals? Coz thermals are meant to be snug snug, if you wear something under, no effect.

maybe you are right. I did it partly because my kid hated the thermal as he finds it prickly. He is comfortable with his PJs directly in contact with his skin. As the thermals were quite snug and held the Pjs well beneath it, seems ok for him.

Hi!


I m going Toyko on the 23rd this month with my husband and 6 years old gal. Can you imagine I haven't even book my hotel?? My husband wanted to book Keoi Plaza and its S$400 per night. That's ridiculous!! Can anyone tell me is that a normal hotel rate in JApan or what??!!
Any suggestions for a good hotel near train station in central Toyko? I will be staying 5 nights in Toyko and after that moving out to Osaka for another 5 nights.

Please help me with some hotels recomm. I think I m abit late for this!!??

Hi,
Just came back from my trip. I stayed in Shinagawa Prince Hotel and it's very convenient. Just about 3 mins walk from Shinagawa station. The room is clean and reasonable size. I booked direct from their website and was given multi-use coupons which can be used for breakfast. I stayed there for 2 nights and took Shinkansen from Shinagawa to Shin Osaka. So if you have not book your hotel, you can consider this one.

Shinagawa Prince : Beddings for 2 adults ? Did you have extra bed for child ? Approximately how much you paid per night ?
Osaka : how long was the Shinkansen ride ?
Thanks!

I booked 2 rooms with double bed for 2 nights. Paid 60,000yen which comes with multi-use coupon that we used for breakfast. From Shinagawa to Shin Osaka is about 170 mins. You can check train schedule using Hyperdia website. I used this website to plan most part of my travel.
