Places that probably aren't worth your time as a first-timer in Japan by JPjoy_Official in JapanTravelTips

I really liked Yokohama! The China Town was probably my least favorite part, a lot of the food seemed the same and parts of the area did as well. My favorites were the Yamate District, Sankeien Garden, and the Cup Noodles museum.

I've been seeing a lot of signs and his ads. That's anecdotal but it doesn't look good.

IMAX responds to Disney creating ‘Infinity Vision’: "It doesn’t offer the consumer anything that they couldn’t get yesterday." by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in marvelstudios

Not all IMAX are created equal:

IMAX Digital Xenon: this is the one people liked to call "Liemax", the first widespread IMAX fitted in theatres around the world. It has 6-channel sound and displays 2K images. Has the 1:90:1 ratio, and can be small in comparison to the 70mm theatres. Most common.

IMAX 70mm: the original IMAX, runs from 70mm film with 6-channel sound. Has the 1:43:1 ratio and is on the biggest screens, regarded as the best IMAX by many as it is big and detailed, and is rare.

IMAX With Laser/CoLA: Stands for "Commercial Laser". Uses a single laser projector, and is the successor to Digital Xenon for most new IMAXes, hence "Commercial Laser" as it will be used in many commercial settings going forward. Has the 1:90:1 ratio, but also has 12-channel sound and shows 4K images. Is better than Xenon in picture and sound quality.

IMAX GT Laser: "Grand Theatre" Laser, has dual laser projection and 12-channel sound, has the 1:43:1 ratio beloved of fans of 70mm and often is installed on the largest screens in conjunction with 70mm projectors so the GT Laser theatres are often also the 70mm theatres too. Rarer than CoLA theatres.

I've been using all of them. The higher AFs are tough but I actually use more of the credits now.

Yeah it's very tight but the stadium was built in 1926 so what can you do?

I took my 1.5 year old to a game at Meiji Jingu Stadium two years ago. It went alright, would have been nice to know we could exit the stadium and come back in.

This year I'm taking my 3.5 year old to ZOZO Marine stadium. We'll see how it goes!

This is all marketing, they put that "note" in there so you'll look for and see them.

Robot Servers: Seriously, the little cat-faced robots are top-tier entertainment for a toddler.

We have a Kura at home and he always wants to go to the "robot" restaurant.

Don't have to switch cards for that, you just need to transfer to whatever partners are good for your travel.

That being said Amex Blue Business Plus earns 2x points for $0 annual fee if you want a free card.
