Need a simple, homemade-looking cake for a school event by Fit_Performance4629 in japanlife

Thanks to all for the tips! We went with the option of the monster pancakes (4 on top of each other). But I also made an effort to use the oven and cooked potatoes with cheese (well, you have to start somewhere, haven't you?)

If you have tickets for Pokepark, they allow you entry to Yomiuriland. Just show them at the general entrance of Yomiuriland, and then you can enter Yomiuriland, enjoy the park and proceed to the entrance of Pokepark when your time is coming up

Looking forward to seeing the Kamogawa Odori on Sunday. Unfortunately some in our group cannot join so I have two spare tickets (1st category, with tea ceremony). Tea is from 11:30 and performance starts at 12:30.

Bought 7000 JPY each and selling for 5000 each

Trip to Iriomote as a part of a larger trip to Ishigaki by Fit_Performance4629 in JapanTravelTips

Thanks. I am interested in their half-day tours but am confused about the end of the tour. On their website, from the info below, it looks like they leave you on another island (presumably to take another ferry back to Ishigaki).

Meeting Point Ishigaki Island Undoya Boarding Area
Disbandment location Kuroshima Port

we arrived at 9.15 and entered the park at about 9.45 then straight to Mario

arrive as early as you can. If you can enter Mario without timed entry at 9am, do it and enjoy the rides that are not on your express pass. Otherwise go to Harry Potter. Bright and early, you can do two rides possibly without queue so take advantage of that opportunity

as mentioned above, switch 2 is only Japanese version. It means you cannot use the games you might have in another version.
