yeah... it's quite alot leh ... tour fare 2294.
base on exchange rate now its about 60 for tips per pax. of course the additional stay, the transport and meals will come out to be 150 at least.
lucky my hotel stay for the addtional day would be free.
so total would be abt 2500 less the money to go shopping leh ...

OMG!.. i think the tipping kills.. tats pretty much .. i didnt tot of that when i signed up with CTC 7D Central Japan tour. Anyway signed up already.. and CTC is my first stop.. i did not even ask around other tour agencies.. hopefully i made the right choice as our family is sort of a CTC 'fan'..hahaha...
nope.. i opt for the kobe city tour instead.. universal studio additional $100/pax..

Hi Mei, the temp is between 15-25 degrees depending on the places u go. It is autumn now with occasional rain. 1 light jacket and umbrella are a must!
Hi all, I'm living in Nagoya and tipping is not practised here. Why nobody consider F&E? It is an easy place to travel esp if u are going to tourist spots. I'm never a fan of package tours personally.

Hi Mei, good comfortable non-slip shoes like sneakers and sports shoes are recommended. Unless u're like the gungho japanese ladies heels everywhere...
Btw u must try the sushi shops in Tsukiji (famous fish mkt). ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I recommend "da he" in chinese characters. The place is small but the food and chefs are amazing.

Hi Chuckybabe,
Our package is central japan + universal studio, we paid about $2K (include tax) per pax. The exact cost i forgot already. Initially we shortlist Chan Bro too but we did a compare, ASA is cheaper but it's quite a new agency lor. Then we check with their sales promoter, she told us the boss of ASA used to be the partner of CTC... something like that so we thought since they have experience so try their service lor.

Hi Chuckybabe,
Guess you go during peak period that's why you paid slightly higher price than us. We prefer to go during non peak period to save cost lor. Ya disneyland and universal studio are one of the main purpose for us to visit Japan.
Oh ya i have msn, already pm you on the email.

And also went out of Tokyo to go to Yokohama to visit MM21, Cosmo World, Ramem Museum and Curry Museum. Oh yes!! and went to all the HRC cafes!! = )
Wanna go hello kitty land and Nikko but no time liao. next time...heehee. Now not a gd time to shop cos' autumn season. All change to winter clothing liao. A bit disappointed. And the trees not yet change colour yet. Still green green. Guess mid-nov then will be red leave.

Hi the host of the event, are you planning to see the auction? If yes, you got to be there as early as possible. Perhaps you can start off by taking the first train out...
We did not experience the auction but in time (reached abt 7plus) to start queuing to eat all the fresh food!! Yummy...

hi mooniie, we alighted at tsukijishiyo and walked about 5 mins to get to the fish mkt.
there are more than 1 restaurant. only 2 restaurants with queue (and one of them happened to be recommended by friend), thus we quickly started queueing.
enjoy the sushi!! it's very worth the price for the quality and quantity!! yummy!! i missed it so much!!
can someone fly back for me? keekee...
