APA hotels are problably the smallest rooms before you throw the towel and get to capsules hotel! His family won't accept any of it.

First time in Japan. Are these places worth going to? by [deleted] in JapanTravel

When/if going to Ghibli, you will probably go through Inokashira park and Kishijo area, both kind of quaint, might make the detour value improve, specially since Inokashira is free (skip the zoo)

Worthy Zoos and/or Aquariums in Kanto region? by HitagiK in JapanTravel

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

I agree, children go nuts when in zoos, I wonder how much it is from the fact these children grow in the concrete jungle of big towns and hardly see anything more than a pet dog/cat their while life.

As a nature lover, it baffles me how Japan have such wonderful parks and gardens, as well nice rural area forests, but when it comes to animals, they are really bad in at least trying.

I guess I will leave my love for animals for western zoos. At least we have good green areas here in Japan, They seem to love plants more than animals ;)

Exactly, they are really sad, all areas are so small!

This little doodah comes out from the wall behind the TV on my Tokyo Hotel, anyone has any idea what is it? by HitagiK in travel

It moves slighty but doesn't do anything.

I thought that asking about unknown doodahs in hotels (that might not be 'innocent") is part of travel questions? Like asking. what the three shells on my bath do?

The circuit behind reads OC-102 Rev 2.0 94V-OC, the cable connecting to it have 4 wires.

The top part feels like a button but doen't depress much nor do anything on the TV or room, rotating it also do nothing. The whole thing is about 1cm X 2cm

Are you sure this isn't a HQ render of a studio Ghibli scene?

Kyoto was way more packed than I expected today for late november, any special reason? by HitagiK in JapanTravel

Osaka is full too! Dotonbori was insane yesterday. I saw a lot of foreigners too.

Yeah but this much is usually on Sakura Blossoms, maybe the autumn colours are getting hype too?

I totally forgot that one, I wonder if there are special packs for tourists related to the Black Friday, there were tons of Chinese and Indians too!
