ooh cool thanks

gonna bookmark that, feel kinda silly cos i ORD in feb but alr planning this now LOL

If u going during cherry blossom (april) period then you can start planning/booking accommodation, else hard to find cheap accommodation as it gets closer to cherry blossom period.

 

[anyhowsaysay]

Museum - Tokyo National Museum
Gardens/Park - Shinjuku Gyoen, Koishikawa Korakeun, Hama Rikyu

guys, i'm planning my daily budget excluding accommodation, train pass, tic.
just purely on food, minor transport fees, entrance fees, minor shopping.
SGD$120/day?

 

[xboxseller]

Yes is enough, all depends on what you eat. I would suggest you go to otooya, yayoiken etc. Is around 10$ per meal

Wah i like Kumamoto! Small regional city, but awesome castle esp during hanami season.

Ramen rocks, esp the small shops near the main shopping street.

Also, i am partial to trams.

What industry are you in that brings you to a regional city?

 

[shizuka_b]

Is the leaf still green at Kinkakuji?

I believe it will turn yellow in maybe 2 weeks time

turning yellow liao, some reds already. When u go, will be peak of koyo le. Awesome, but i guess u know that liao.

too bad Kiyomizu now has some scaffolding due to refurbishment.

I went Tateyama and made a snowman le!

Yeah! Japan is a really beautiful country!

Plus clean and sanitary. Came back to SG and all I see is litter and trash on the streets.
