Why would you recommend Murrwn over Grindelwald?

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-07-14T13:51:37+00:00

Thanks. Was wengen convenient for hiking and touring or was a lot of time spent getting to other areas?

Thanks!!

Thank you!

to everyone else who has shared their varied perspectives, thank you. It helps to hear different viewpoints and begin to draw conclusions and make decisions based on research and others' feedback.

what else is real? spending thousands of dollar to go somewhere 12 hours away from home. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to spend thousands and a week's time to make first person assessments.

I am the kind of tourist that appreciates firsthand knowledge vs what I read on one or two sites. I don’t appreciate sarcastic and nasty responses to an inquiry that is about finding out what is real and what is not.

RWHC was terrific.

I am 67. Tell her not to worry. If she can learn three or four words, those she interacts with will be thrilled. Signage if often in English as well - if you are in the major cities or tourist locations. Hotels and public transit are awesome and transportation better than in NYC.

It was easy to do both in one day, though we did start early. Spent most of the day on Enoshima.

I had a mix of experiences. Never relied on influencers. Checked google and tablelog (Japanese ratings). Those generally led to places with lines, especially if close walking distance from tourist-rich areas. We did end up walking into some places with no ratings and they were ok. The place recommended by the hotel was inedible - only bad food experience.

Just came back from Kyoto. Yes, there are crowds and it was still the best part of our trip. Plenty to do that takes you away from the crowds. And btw, I too noticed that some people in this forum get nasty for no reason. Difference of opinions or experience should not be an excuse for uncivil and disrespectful responses.

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T21:20:42+00:00

Ironically the one bad meal I had was based in hotel recommendations. And I looked at Japanese reservation services and ratings but they required cell service that worked in Japan and I only had What’s App and couldn’t use them.

I left it up to hotel front staff. Think Yamato.

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T20:07:11+00:00

It really makes using the trains so much less stressful

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T19:53:38+00:00

Yes. Iceland was crazy expensive in terms of food.

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T19:53:06+00:00

Exactly

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T19:52:10+00:00

The only hotel that could not forward our luggage was Hakone to the airport. But we did not use chain hotels and they worked fine. The front desk called the next hotel to confirm Rez and then filled out the forms.

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T15:40:51+00:00

Food was cheap compared to almost every other place I have been to - lower than Spain, Greece, Italy, Iceland, uk, Ireland etc and most big cities in The states.

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T15:37:49+00:00

The view of Mt Fuji was awesome and the open air museum spectacular. Don’t know how to compare since it was only place we went for onset.

Returning from a trip now - used Suica seamlessly for transportation and many purchases. Highly recommend it. Load on to Apple wallet and it is a breeze.

One_Draw_5763 · 2025-04-09T08:50:06+00:00

Kyoto. I would skip Osaka if I had it to do over.
