For me
Universal only 1 - the spiderman ride.
So happen that it is japan's national hols. So it was super crowded!
Disneyland - 6 rides & 2 parades (vday special and their usual pm one)
space mountain, buzz lightyear, haunted house, thunder mountain and a train ride and a cruise ride with all tour members.
too bad din stay till late nite to see their fireworks... shd be romantic!!

hi pple, wondering if i shld wait till NATAS fair then book the trip? its from 18-20 mar...
btw i found out that tipping is ard $7+ to $9+ per person/day, izzit true? i find it quite exp... imagine we multiply by 6 days and for 2 pax??? its almost $100 juz 4 tips. so crazy!
PPgroom, am reading the archives now.... realised ur tax is juz over $80, if i rem correctly, i was quoted abt $139 for tax! such a big difference!!!
MTDT, how much did u pay 4 taxes?

i see... referring to disneyland nite pics uh!
for hong tai, they collected 4000 yen per pax for all the tips for the trip. (driver, tour guide and tour leader) so abt $9 per day per pax.
Taxes per pax for JAL (from my invoice)
airport tax = $21
flight insurance = $20
Narita Airport Tax = $33
understand that SIA taxes are abt $50 more. And from Feb onwards, they are imposing Fuel surcharge too. 7% for the month of Feb.

magix, yaya.. will definately wan to go back there in a few years time.. tentively saving money for europe trip for honeymoon.. hopefully can fulfil tt.. definately should wait for natas fair, i got my tic from natas fair last sept.. my air tick only cost 550 bucks for JAL n it's direct flight.. i realised tt the JAL tic increased up to 1k after the natas fair!!
huh???? then how come i rem i was quoted ard $139 for airport taxes etc? but i did not went to Hong Thai lah. after reading ur comments, i will check out Hong Thai liao.
so far the pkg i am looking are either JAL or ANA. both airlines shld b quite ok right? though i have not taken either ones b4.
blur, i thot u going ard the same period as me.
yah lor, Europe is my dream, but cant afford to go now. will save up and plan one in a couple of years time.

actually, many years ago, i went with my mum thru JAL tours.
although more expensive... but i remember that their hotels and FOOD were much much better than Hong Tai. But... dunno how's their standard now.
I wanted to join back JAL tour... but could not get the dates that I want. So choose Hong Tai loh!
Go look see look see around lah!

hi hi everybody
so many msgs leh......... i c until blur liao.
MTDT - saw ur pics le. Lovely. bt then maybe bcos urs is really winter time (much colder period than mine), so most of the pics all ilke black & white leh.
USJ - I took only 1 ride cos tat day was the King's b/day or something, so super crowded. Disneyland - the 3 thrill rides only cos tat was the golden wk hols, so again - super packed. Instead we went ard snapping pics lor.
My Tour leader was Eileen, then tour guide - we called him JC.
Saw u went to take Free Wheel - we couldn't take cos it was closed tat time.
My pkg was more exp - nett per person is $2100, cos we took SQ, then maybe sch hols bah.

JAL tours? then where to look them up? so meaning its their own packaged tour?
PPgroom,
i will definitely go on package this time round as its my honeymoon as well. dun wanna plan and crack my brains.
can make frens from the same tour provided they r of same "frequency". i hope no kids 4 the tour i am joining.... can stand it if they start to cry in the middle of the bus rides... there will b no peace.
btw generally how long is the bus journey? wats the longest u all took 4 ur trip? i hate long bus rides. i am not those sort that can sleep all the way.
yah, ah ger, think ur trip more exp coz of SQ and oso considered peak season.

I mean greyish col lah, as compared to my pics still got abit more colour.
USJ - wat u think leh? The 3D or 4D one only lor. We din really bother to go & Q lar cos really very long Q leh, then we saw alot of water games, then so cold - dun dare to play skali we cme out all turn into ice. Ha ha ha....
Yeap - my pkg is more exp. Think was $1999 or something then + taxes lor. I think each pax was $2088 or dunno hw much lah, I only know ard $2.1k.
Magix_wand, yeah sch hols mah. End up go tare kuey shio w/ others. Then I can't extend cos it's peak period, SQ wouldn't allow us to extend.
actually go w/ tour can b quite fun if ur grp is fun. Though our grp is w/ slightly elder ppl, bt then ok lar - they also nt say very 'dao'.
Longest bus journey was 4hrs, bt of cos all got breaks in betwn lar. If no brakes think my bladder will explode then butt also 4" bigger when I cme back. Ha ha ha....
U will b surprised u can slp on the bus cos the road r nt bumpy then very smooth one. Though our bus is cramp, bt still can slp lor. Their buses r nt those wide seating one leh - we had a large grp so it's a 40+ seater.
JAL has JAL pkg, the one Hong Thai was selling is nt JAL pkg, it's their own pkg then tie in w/ JAL flights.
I heard ANA pkg are more interesting.

mine's Chan Brothers. my wife dun like Jap cuisine, and she find it ok leh... in fact there'll be a couple of meals which are Chinese... but i find the Jap meals better than the Chinese meals... cos Jap meals will have mini hot-pot, hot noodles, steamed rice, bacon, sushi (sometimes), and dessert *slurp*... i droolijg liao just thinking abt it again...

it's nt Jap cuisine cos nt all ppl like Jap food. anyway they hv Chinese style cooking. Many a times also buffet style so u can eat watever u like.
PPgroom, i juz went to check out chan brothers tdy, realised their prices slightly more exp than others.... and now i am not sure which period i shld go... Hong Thai & some other agencies said if i wanna see sakura, best to go end of mar (in tokyo) and coz i can only make it ard mid mth, they say to go hokkaido instead.
and when i went chan brothers, they got a pkg to tokyo and central japan in mid mth and said can see sakura!
now how? not sure whom to trust.
alot of them are offering pkg to tokyo end of mar to see sakura liao, and too bad i cant make it that period, gotta delay abit.
to me, as long as the food is cooked, i am quite ok. jap cuisine fine wif me.

zhuzhu, ya.. quite cheap.. we had free n easy too.. dun worry, easy to navigate when u r there, me n my FH dun noe jap too.. but once u get used to it's transport system, then it's easy.. rem to go to kyoto.. it's very very nice.. i personally love kyoto to tokyo.. both me n my FH spent less than 4 k in total including air tic, accom, food, transport... also, remember to get a JR tick if u r travelling between kyoto, nara, osaka, hakone etc.. u will save a lot!! i bought JR tic at S$450 per tic, unlimited ride in JR railway for 7 days..
2 days ago when i checked at People's Park Cplx, it was 1000 yen to 15.7 something... izzit considered ok?
I am planning to book my trip 2mrw with Hong Thai alrdy! Hope i am one of the few early birds so can enjoy discount.
regardless of whether can see sakura anot, i've decided to tour ard tokyo area.
i am planning on 2 days F&E aft the tour, so Blur blur, need ur help to share some itinerary with me on which places u went.

magix, no prob, if u need any help let me know. let me noe where u going for ur last 2 days, then i can give u suggestions..
zhu zhu, dun worry, in fact, JR pass allows u to take their bullet train.. it's pretty complex, hope i can clear up some of the doubts.
In japan, there are many railway/mrt companies (owned by private unlike singapore). JR is one of the companies which own major railways lines in Japan. It connects many parts of japan. in this JR railway, it includes buses, railway trains(which stops at every stations) and also include the bullet train as well! There are few types of bullet trains in japan(forgot the name of the trains). For this JR pass, we can take all bullet trains owned by JR except for the fastest bullet train. however, trust me, their 2nd fastest train is fast too.. travelling from narita airport to kyoto takes about 3-4 hours of journey only!
If u wan to visit osaka, my suggestion to u is tt u still stay in kyoto.. travelling from kyoto to osaka is only abt 40 mins and accomodation in kyoto is cheaper than osaka. In fact osaka is jus another tokyo. If stay in osaka n tokyo only, i think it will be too bored. mainly shopping and pple everywhere. Kyoto is the most reccommended place for tourist where u can find beautiful shrines and temples. Nice sceneries too... also, travelling between osaka, kyoto and nara are only within an hour journey. Nara is famous for it's deer park where the deers roam freely.. very fun.. also the popluar "dong da men" is located there as well.
My advice is travel light. For me when i went with my FH, we only carry 2 big bag packs (with trolley attached). the train is big enough to accomodate ur big luggages, however, it might b difficult to carry up n down staircases.
Hope the above explaination does not confuses all of u. If there are more questions, i will try to ans if i know..hope i m not too long winded meanwhile enjoy your prep for ur trip..
last thing, esp if u r going f n e, rem to buy a guide book. buy the one from lonely planet. very useful with maps and suggested itinery. u wun regret buying it. if u wan to see my photos, do leave ur email down n i will send invite to u.

Hi Blur Blur
Thanks for the explanation...let me digest those info first..then i will asked again.. I also realise that Osaka hotel are quite X...but already booked liao..sigh~ too lazy to change..

zhuzhu, u got invite.. sent my link to u already.
not all stations has escalators, mayb i missed a few of them n had to carry them up the stairs..
well, there is this express train from narita airport to tokyo. This express train is by JR too, so if u got the pass, u can take this train jus by showing the station personal. Usually tokyo is the "interchange" where u take different trains to ur destinations. It's similar to city hall or raffles place mrt station in singapore. in tokyo they will have the different types of trains vary from normal to bullet trains.. Hence, the route is usually from narita airport to tokyo to ur destination.. hope clear ur doubt
vinmei, the best time to visit japan will b in nov(autumn to see maple leaves) or end of march,early april to see sakura... i went last nov during autumn..

Hi Blur Blur
I was thinkin of taking the airport limo bus to the hotel..think that is the safest bet lar..but do u think its really worth getting the JR Rail pass or the JR east pass? I check with JTB office..they say unless u taking the bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka and then back to Tokyo..otherwise its not really worth it...its such a headache to decide on that..

zhu zhu, yaya, for me, i was in japan for 8 days. I took the JR east pass if i m not wrong. JR pass allows u to travel more places... My itinery is as follows, rough one..
Day one: Narita airport, take train to tokyo. then take bullet train to kyoto
Day 2: kyoto
Day 3:Kyoto
Day 4: take train to nara and osaka.less than 1 hr journey, but accom still at kyoto.
Day 5: take bullet train to hakone. take bus all the way up hill to enjoy the fuji view and enjoy hot spring.
Day 6: leave hakone and go to tokyo via bullet train.
Day 7: tokyo oso take normal train by JR to various places like shinjuku, harajuku etc
Day 8: tokyo, take train to disneyland and spent whole day
Day 9: tokyo and back to naria airport.
Note that most of the train n bus rides i took are JR. So for me, i will save a lot of transport. However, if u wan to stay in osaka only, or tokyo itself, of cos then no point getting JR pass.. we wanted to visit many places on our own n fully utilised our JR pass.
hope above helps.

hi zhuzhu, Hong Thai dun really hv promo but since i am within the 1st 15 to book, can enjoy a discount of $100/pax. that means a savings of $200. I have asked for extension of 2 nites and the last hotel we are staying is Sunshine City. So i am considering whether to remain in this hotel for the next 2 days or stay in some other place.
As there is 3* & 4* hotels, i am not sure whats the difference. anyone can advise?
Blur, how did u travel to the airport on the last day? i was told there is no other way to the airport from the hotel except limousine service, which works out to b $50/pax. but i am not convinced that limousine is the only way out.
And if i stay near to airport, there will b free shuttle to the airport, but that means its more exp 4 me to travel to city area?
i am actually at a loss. dunno wat to do.... hope blur can provide some advise.
i left the itinerary in office. will let u noe 2mrw.
anyway i plan to roam ard tokyo. in the itinerary, we will b going to Kyoto, Osaka, Mt Fuji and Disneyland. (cant rem the rest)
thus where else can we go in tokyo?
i find the JR very exp.... very crazy leh
btw is maps easily accessible in the airports or elsewhere? i wonder if we need to buy a copy in SG?
Appreciate any advice! thks!
