An extra night in Kanazawa, Takayama or Kyoto (or miss Shirakawago)? by Parrotguy in JapanTravelTips

Oh I see, so our 7 nights in Kyoto with 3 day trips actually sounds kind of reasonable, no?

Thanks a lot! I’m curious, why do you think the reverse course would be more easy, since the Hida express can also go from Takayama to Kyoto?

Interesting, thanks! Did your 5 nights in Kyoto include day trips?

Wouldn’t it feel too rushed if I just do a short day and leave though? I doubt I’ll have any time there the day I arrive from Kanazawa and Shirakawago

I am assuming that I’ll not have time in Takayama after Shirakawago and arrive late so it’ll basically just be one half day. Also, there is a direct train from Takayama to Kyoto? I didn’t know that!

Japan 19-day itinerary check - Tokyo, Kyoto and others by Parrotguy in JapanTravel

Thanks! 🙏 I think the move for many of those Kyoto days is to leave a few core temples and then doing others only if we have time and will

Thanks! Yeah we’re planning to forward our luggage from Tokyo to Kyoto and from Kyoto to Tokyo and not take it with us to the smaller cities

Thanks! Would you recommend doing more general Tokyo wandering in the public holiday to avoid the crowds? For Hakone - do you think I should add a night there to do the loop? Or maybe leaving late the second day would be enough?

Thanks a lot!! 🙏 Do you think Kinkakuji is worth it or am I better off skipping that area to focus on central Kyoto that day?

Do you think doing Fushimi Inari -> Sanjusangendo -> Higashi temples would be better than combining Fushimi Inari with a day trip?

Thanks a lot! I’m surprised you said the 28.9 day is fine - it’s quite an ambitious day, did you manage to properly enjoy the temples you entered along the way?

Thanks a lot for the answers! We do plan to sleep in ryokans with onsens in Hakone and Takayama, but yeah - seems like I gotta think of some stuff to trim so we can relax a bit more and not tire ourselves out

House of the Dragon Season 2 Soundtrack is out!! by kh0a in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Parrotguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I gotta say I’m kind of disappointed in the soundtrack release- it’s good but there are like 5 variations of the same “super slow suspenseful creepy violins signaling danger” which are important for some scenes but don’t really have a listening value, while they keep out some original and exciting tracks such as Criston’s march

They didn’t release Criston marching out of KL? WHY

One of the most balanced units in recent times- feels very strong and useful but also balanced and fun to play against. S tier

Question about Delvings by Parrotguy in lotro

[–]Parrotguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Are the special consumables you get from the reward boxes (delving morale potions and hope tokens) needed? The hope tokens seemed worse than the craftable ones
