    Limousine bus from Haneda

    I can confirm that if you go by train, train stations have bathrooms. One night my son (teenager) got food poisoning and we basically stopped at every other stop from Shinjuku to Mizonokuchi Station. It took awhile... :o

    So, while we weren't there for fall foliage specifically, we enjoyed it casually (other than seeking out the one event I mentioned above). This was shot from the queue for the Gondolier Ride in DisneySea. The Momiji Waterfall adjacent to Tokyo Tower (leg in background) The NAKED event in...

    Yes, fall colors were still going! There was a pop-up show called Naked at Shinjuku Gyoen that I managed to get tickets to through Lawson (with an American phone number). My daughter, who lives in Tokyo picked the tickets up. I think there's a 4 day window, so if you ever see something that...

    Driving in Japan

    Yeah, no experience here doing so, but I already looked like a fool the other day at the Nissan Gallery in Yokohama when I jumped in a vehicle on the passenger side in Japan. One of the Nissan workers laughed and said, "Oh, American!" She had thought I might be British, but when I popped into...

    I Love Credit Cards and Japan!

    Schools restart in Japan in April, so adding on time into April is better, but cherry blossom blooms bring a whole 'nother crowd in, so...crowd-wise, I guess it would depend if you are targeting more youthful or more mature itineraries. If it's more youthful, better to add time in April...as...

    I Love Credit Cards and Japan!

    Duckbug.Ducktales, the good news is that the rest of the country isn't as crowded. As you plan, try to take advantage of that. So many smaller cities and large towns have many attractions, and it's easy to fill your days. As great as TDL/TDS can be, the whole rest of the country basically...

    I Love Credit Cards and Japan!

    Tokyo metropolitan area has 38 million people. 17 million international tourists have entered Japan in the first 9 months of 2023. Don't know the number of domestic tourists to Tokyo area so far this year, but there's plenty. The transportation to/from Maihama Station is good. Therefore...

    Girls trip, Sept 30th to Oct 7th trip report.. Update 11/1 Shinso ji temple & Shopping street, Panda's

    I remember about 10 years ago, a Japanese tourist coming all decked out to DHS in Orlando, and I watched carefully as she went to the entrance. The cast members working the gate were well-versed at that time apparently about the Japanese "difference" and greeted her with a hearty Arigato! and...
