Yup... will be in Kyoto this December... wondering if it is worth detouring there for half a day...

Not a particular big fan of video games... I'm more of a PC game guy... but I do own a Switch which I rarely play nowadays...

Will go when there is lower demand and no need to bid for ticket like harry potter and ghibli park

It’s not scalper… the drawing is on official website… they are anticipating crowds so implementing drawings lots… so need to submit your desired date/time… then end of the month they will draw lots… this month will draw Oct/Nov visits…

Too bad... Not sure how the draw is being conducted... whether is there any priority given to locals or foreigners since their dates are not as flexible as locals...

Maybe you chose a weekend... which understandably should be in higher demand...

I originally wanted to bid for a Sunday... but I think maybe should change to a Monday instead for better chance...

On the contrary, I chose a Monday loh... Bobian have to go to Toei Amusement Park instead but don't think is as fun.

Oh...

When you make the reservation that time... it got indicate which day and time slots more busy right... From what I see currently... weekend all day and weekday morning slots are more in demand... the less demand slots are Wed/Thurs afternoons...

Wondering should I wait until nearer to the closing date then go reserve the less demanded slots... I got a few days in Kyoto that I can play around with the dates...

After reservation can still make changes?

They will be putting up those cancelled tickets later... maybe u still got chance...

Yup. Weekends all fully taken up. Was thinking the 3 slots I chose at noon will be available. I don't remember the option to change. This is from the email they sent when I registered.

◆ Once submitted, your entry cannot be revised. If you want to make changes to the entry you submitted, cancel it from the page linked above, and then resubmit an updated entry by 2024-August-31 (Sat).

Will be checking their site everyday then. Lol.. fingers crossed.

Oh... means cannot change... need to cancel and re-submit the reservation again...

Good luck... hope u managed to get those left over tickets... coz I dun really fancy the Toei Amusement Plaza... should be something like the ones in Hokkaido... like those ninja movie settings... some funny ninja rooms... some scary rooms... not interesting enough to visit again...

I just realized 14/10 is their National Holiday... Maybe thats why u are not successful in the bidding...

Those Oct/Nov leftovers vacancies are now available for sale... but so far I dun see any open time slots yet...
