sorry, just kpo here...
snoozy,
in that case, maybe u should change ur thread's title to "Japan F&E trip" or something more specific like tat.
as S&H mentioned, there are a lot of Japan threads and some forummers might be lazy/tired to advise u coz they tot u can search for info in the many other existing japan threads.
just my 2cents

hi deardear,
i'm just came back from tokyo recently.. and one of my friends just flew off last night to tokyo.. =)
how many days will you be staying in tokyo?
maybe you can take these places into consideration:
1. hakone/mt fuji
2. tokyo disneyland or disneysea
3. tsukiji market (if you like to eat sushi, must go! alot of fresh salmon, tuna, etc, very nice!)
4. sibuya (if you want to buy comestic, there're alot of pharmacy like stores selling comestics)
5. shinjuku (alot of dining places)
etc.. and there're still alot other nice places to go too.. = )

hi deardear,
your 5 days is not including the flight right? if including, it may be quite short.. and it's better not to plan too many places to go..
personally, i prefer disneyland to disneysea.. the rides are better and they sell more merchandises compare to disneysea.. but the landscaping of disneysea is really beautiful.. much better than disneyland.. and also not to forget about the show @ the sea.. very nice..
S & H prefer the disneysea.. he found the rides are nicer.. so both places has its unique ways of attracting people.. = ) and that have to depends on which one you prefer..
i'm not sure of the duration for the journey from Tokyo to Mt Fuji cos we went to Hakone first, then went to the Mt Fuji the next morning.. we bought the the roundtrip, Fuji Hakone Pass @ 7,200 yen (almost close to S$100) to go to both places.. we travelled by Odakyu Railways and back by Fujikyu/Keio highway bus..
maybe you can check out this link on how to go from Tokyo to Mt Fuji:
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6905.html
think S & H is talking about the JTB guided tour har? my friend check up the prices for 1-day guided tour (not sure from which company) from Tokyo to Mt Fuji, is about S$190+ per person, including lunch and back by the bullet train from Mt Fuji..

Hi deardear,
Me oso just returned from Japan abt 1mth ago,
Frankly, in the world, there is only one DISNEYSEA, but many DISNEYLAND, so why not consider DISNEYSEA which u cant find elsewhere...
Around 8.15pm, in DISNEYSEA, there will be a show by mickey mouse with shui mu, water flash, fire, laser which is so magnificant... then abt 9pm, u will be able to see the fireworks that is from DISNEYLAND, up in the sky...
Further, the best DISNEYLAND is in US, not in JAPAN, can give it a miss......

Jessie, driving is fairly easy in Japan, same right hand drive. Rental car are with GPS, just input destination no# and you will be guided to your destination. You need to rent child seat for your kids. International license.
Road in some area are very narrow, if you have a big car is tricky. Take note of highway toll, if you go really far sometimes toll are may expensive.
Also hotel in city usually require parking fees which may cost a lot. Driving is very good for outskirt places, in city is better to travel by train.

I am planning a F&E trip to Tokyo in Mar2011, about 5D4N. Anyone can recommend a gd travel agency? This is my 1st time travel there, actually my concern is the airport/hotel transfer. That's why I wish to book the F&E from a travl agent here which incl hotel + airport/hotel transfer, if there is any 1/2day city tour also not bad.
