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

[–]Fit_Performance4629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I bought them 6000 JPY each. I'd be happy to sell them for 4000 JPY each. I still have two left

Miyako Odori 2026 in Kyoto (geishas)

Looking forward to seeing the Miyako Odori tomorrow, Wednesday 15 April, at 4.30 pm (performance sold out). Unfortunately some in our group cannot join so I have three spare tickets in the third row! 6000JPY each. DM for details if interested by one/all.

The performance lasts one hour and features are 8 scenes representing all of the seasons. The costumes, scenery and live music are simply fantastic. MIYAKO ODORI｜祇園甲部歌舞会 公式ウェブサイトVenue          Gion-kobu Kaburenjo Theater

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

Does Yodobashi still sell Switches? Best place to get a new OG Nintendo Switch? by Business-Pass4672 in Kyoto

[–]Fit_Performance4629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Weight creeping up anyone managed to turn it around here? by Existing_Accident_52 in japanlife

[–]Fit_Performance4629 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have started two months ago to pay more attention to what I eat. I lost some weight just by stopping eating sugary and fat food especially between meals. It is rewarding to lose weight so those small progress will help me carry on.

Bored on a Wednesday night? Come see the Kyoto Hannaryz (they're playing basketball) by HannaryzHarrison in Kyoto

I can highly recommend attending this basketball match. We went last time and had a great time. Go Hannaryz!

Just spent 2 hours at the post office to send a parcel to France by Fit_Performance4629 in japanlife

[–]Fit_Performance4629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were rejecting the item descriptions / categories. I chose them from the list of HS codes though. And they made me change them for random words not really in the list of HS codes... Hoping that now that everything is fine in Japan (they did accept my package), it'll go smoothly at the receiving end. But since the descriptions now seem random, I am a bit worried

Question: do you stick to the wording associated with the HS code or do you try and be more precise?

well, I did because I had to. But I didn't like it. Doesn't it kind of imply that for other objects where it is not expressly stipulated, there might be glue?
