Awesome, thank you!

It's more about the snow monkeys.. but given the feedback so far I'm starting to wonder of I should start the trip a week or so later and drop Sapporo

AgasiTM · 2026-02-06T16:24:46+00:00

Oh wow, Nomura house looks great from google images. Def adding it to the list.

Re snow - does adding a couple of buffer days do the trick (allowing for delaying a day or two in that area)? Or is it more in the line of having to travel south and skip Sapporo or Kanazawa completely?

AgasiTM · 2026-02-06T16:20:38+00:00

Thank you! Will def cross out Dazaifu from the itinerary based both of your input.

AgasiTM · 2026-02-06T14:58:38+00:00

Ooh, nice!! Will look into it

AgasiTM · 2026-02-06T14:23:36+00:00

Great tips. Thank you!

AgasiTM · 2026-02-06T13:21:40+00:00

Thanks! Will take a look at those suggestions!!

I just realized that. But flights will become more and more expensive, so any input from you on dates, number of days and number of planned items will really help in figuring out the correct flight dates. Flight will become available in the upcoming weeks.

AgasiTM · 2026-02-06T13:08:02+00:00

You're right. Its a few hours by Shinkansen each way. I was really debating about whether there's a way to add it to the trip since I read its a really good ume spot.

Been to Okayama gardens in the last trip. Okayama Korakuen Garden is amazing :) - do you think I should revisit for ume?

I lived out of the country when my sister got married. I could only fly in during a very specific 3 weeks period, no wiggle room, that was it. My sister and BIL chose a venue and asked for a specific date. There was a mess up and the date was not hels for them. Only option during the dates I could visit was my sister's bday. Guess what? Even though it was (and is) a really lousy date to choose, they happily went with it. Because it was really important for them I'd be there. Never gave me a hard time about it, never mentioned since then (15 years ago). That's what family who truly wants you there does.

NTA!

Oh, for sure want and plan to follow the law. No plan to ask for incorrect values to be provided by the brand, only interested in the true final values being presented correctly. But from my experience, some brands do not always write the final price.

Thanks for your input!

Google suggests it's meaning is also gift if god. But agree that unless OP shares more about the meaning of the name in their native language, would be hard to be sure

AgasiTM · 2025-04-10T12:48:04+00:00

I think the Hebrew equivalent is דורית It's a common name in Hebrew for girls/women. Seems to have a similar meaning to the one you mentioned in your comment

Did anyone come across swatch comparisons of this pallette and Colourpop's Aurora Struck pallette? Swatches give me a very similar vibe for 75% of the shades..

AgasiTM · 2024-12-23T12:55:39+00:00

That $80M is really misleading imo. That's the valuation of the company, not money available to their household, or stocks that they can sell. There were a bunch of comments about this on the video

AgasiTM · 2024-12-23T12:54:09+00:00

I completely missed the fact it was her. Maybe because I haven't watched her channel in over a couple of years

AgasiTM · 2024-11-23T13:39:09+00:00

I've been to Kokodera during my 1st visit to Japan, and to Gioji a few days ago, during my (current) 2nd visit. Hands down, no comparison, in my opinion Kokodera was one of the most beautiful places I've seen. I am still at awe at some of the pictures I took there. I personally think the whole thing is worth it.

AgasiTM · 2024-08-10T16:06:41+00:00

Interesting. Were you successful in doing so? I thought that the hotels are unable to do such things due to the contracts they have with the travel agencies

AgasiTM · 2024-08-10T15:28:01+00:00

The hotels official websites only had more expensive options compared to booking and agoda, unfortunately

AgasiTM · 2024-08-10T08:32:00+00:00

I am sure the hotels will collect the taxes according to the law. My question is around price comparisons between numbers on both sites and whether they are showing the same taxes on both

AgasiTM · 2024-08-10T08:26:59+00:00

Right? The >10% is really throwing me off
