I remember my first time at Tokyo DL. I hung a left after the world bazaar and was hit almost immediately with a non-descript Pirates building. I was totally thrown for a loop! Lol
Sorry you had a bad experience, but most of this info is available ahead of time. Also, don’t fault a culture for strict adherence to rules. It’s ingrained in them. We should adapt to them when we visit. Not the other way around.
My wife and I just booked our first Virgin cruise for January 2024. Southeastern Caribbean Isles. 7-nights. We’ve done Disney a hand full of times and swore off 7-night cruises, but Virgin is just too tempting. They interest us right now way more than the Wish.
Make sure you get the BIG magic family room. I’ve booked magic room twice. The first time the room felt huge and we loved it. The second time felt incredibly cramped. The room was definitely smaller.
Ippudo is great, as are:
Chibo Okonomiyaki; and
Tonkatsu Wako.
All in Ikspiari. I was there in May and didn’t wait for more than 20 minutes at any of these place around 5pm.
Technically possible, but don’t recommend. Nozomi plus local trains will add up to almost eight hours of travel. Plus a full day in the park? No thank you.
I’m going to USJ tomorrow. Any tips?! I’m having trouble with the app. I uploaded my tickets but they won’t show the QR code when I click on the name. I have screen shots of the QR codes. Will that be sufficient?
Don’t know about that. You basically break even with a round trip between Tokyo and Kansai with a 7-day pass. If the price increases significantly, might as well just by regular tickets.
Heads up, everyone. JR is set to increase the JR Pass price by 69% beginning October 2023. Frankly, that’s crazy and I see very little use for a JR Pass at that price.
