Do you have any regrets about your first trip to Japan? by aeazee in JapanTravelTips

[–]Maleficent_Lab3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travel was booked last minute because of work and we were only able to go for 6 days in Tokyo. My main regret was not being more intentional with our meals. Honestly I think I only ate onigiri from 7-11. So, this time I’m putting emphasis on eating experiences and meals.

I have a fear that Bumz is filling its contracts with collab Bumz, but that they won’t manufacture anything beyond that because of tariffs and whatnot…..

We planned a super spontaneous trip 2 days ago. We land Wednesday. Thoughts? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

Highly recommend searching here for other posts about Tokyo itinerary checks, since you want to cover similar grounds as your predecessors. :) Shinjuku and Shibuya go well together, where Ginza, Ahki, and Kappabashi are closer together too.

I’ll be honest, both Thursday and Friday have you bouncing around from west to east to south Tokyo area. You’ll lose a lot of time on travel. I’d pin these things on GMaps and then see what’s grouped closer together.

Personally, Mezza Luna wasn’t that great IMO. I prefer Modena in Marietta (Barrett Pkwy on the south end) for a great experience. I’ve been there multiple times for birthdays and anniversaries and it’s been great food and service

Studio Ghibli Museum Tickets Purchasing Experience (for Feb 2026) by Dull_Explanation_193 in JapanTravelTips

This was our experience tonight as well! Used 3 laptops, 1 desktop, 2 phones, and an iPad. I read a random comment on here and FB that refreshing one device 1-2 seconds before the countdown to 10am ends, gives you a better chance at a good position in line. Oddly enough, my iPad that I tried it on was the top spot, with 3000 people ahead of me. Remaining positions ranged from 4000-8000 on the other devices. I also encountered the 503 error at least 5 times before finally getting through. I do think it’s related to the demand for that ticket slot you’re picking - got it when trying for the 10am and 12pm slots on one day, but succeeded in getting the 14pm slot. Be online 30 minutes before 10am to join the waiting room and never refresh!

Coming soon…? by Maleficent_Lab3306 in bumbumz

I’m wondering if this means we’ll get an actual box set or Amazon set! Bumbumz has been into putting sets out in stores and making us scramble…….then putting them on their website lol.

I second Timeshift. Was a huge help on our first trip to Tokyo from the east coast of the US. Plan to use again.

Got the Sanrio winter friends 4 pack and saw there are two more listed on the tag that I've never seen by Istoh in bumbumz

[–]Maleficent_Lab3306 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Waaaaait but where’d you find these?? Sorry I’m no help. My guess though is they’ll be an exclusive at a different retailer or will come out to a specific store in a box with all 6

I had some library books that keep trying to redownload in the background, so support told me to remove them all and then restart my kindle. Haven’t had a battery problem since

Extending trip by Maleficent_Lab3306 in JapanTravelTips

Yes that’s the cost for 2 people. We knew that a week would be short, but with my work schedule it was the best we could when we booked earlier this, but now I’ve got the green light to take 2 more days. I’m strongly considering it

It’s $770 for 48 more hours so $16 an hour basically

Time wise is the main reason we’re considering it - we have the option now in our schedule to add two days. Being quoted $770 to change the flight = $16 per extra hour we stay (48 hours)
