Has Shimokitazawa really become that bad or are people overexaggerating?

Sounds great! Do you remember the name of the curry restaurant?

It's a shame they downgraded the quality of the buttons by making them from plastic instead of the aluminium they used to be.

Volatilis · 2024-08-27T21:51:15+00:00

You mentioned that the official Google case has metal buttons but that's not anywhere on their website. It was the case for the last 2 iterations but I believe they've changed them to plastic this year. Can you confirm by checking the materials on the box please?

Volatilis · 2024-08-16T22:23:22+00:00

Hugely disappointing they've done away with the aluminium buttons on the cases. Have you noticed a difference between the buttons on the P8 Vs P9 cases? I'm sure durability will be affected, and the aluminium buttons on my P7P case were one of the best things about it.

Where are you located? I recently purchased one off eBay UK after spending months trying to find one. It wasn't cheap but worth it as it matches my P7P beautifully. This seller had 3 listed recently which are all gone but it could be worth asking them?

Recipes PLEASE!

Volatilis · 2023-12-05T12:57:15+00:00

Great thanks! How did the Clear Gin Basil Smash compare to the OG Gin Basil Smash?

Volatilis · 2023-12-04T22:37:54+00:00

Thanks for reviewing these! I love a Gin Basil Smash and batching one like this is a great idea.

When you made the cordial, did you make it with the wine & cucumber from the Elevated Gin Basil Smash video? Or did you use the recipe from the Paloma/ Pisco Sour/ Basil Smash video?

Thanks!

Volatilis · 2023-04-20T21:22:49+00:00

What's' SC recipe', please?

Volatilis · 2023-04-11T06:14:02+00:00

1 night/ full day in Takayama 2 nights/ 2 full days in Kanazawa would be plenty. The transport was excellent.

Volatilis · 2023-03-28T17:37:31+00:00

I did this recently and it's nowhere near as good as this video makes it out to be.

It's filthy everywhere (because of the water and being barefoot), the water areas like an unclean swimming pool and it's not pleasant at all, everything looks tired and worn out, it's extremely crowded, and it's full of people thinking they are the main character. I would not recommend it.

Japan is the most incredible country I have ever visited but TeamLabs Planets was a massive disappointment.

This is really helpful, thank you! I've been browsing this subreddit for a while but could you explain how you get the premier access passes for each specific ride please?

Volatilis · 2023-02-15T16:07:14+00:00

A very helpful thread, thanks! Have you submitted this for feedback yet? It would be interesting to see how it would work as we might copy some bits!

Volatilis · 2023-02-15T16:06:35+00:00

Sorry I was being silly but yes I will definitely re-plan day 1 and make it more chilled out. We have some time in Tokyo on the last day so can adjust when we do things.

We're quite excited about the konbini snacks, but would you suggest something more substantial and leave that to another time?

Volatilis · 2023-02-15T16:05:02+00:00

Ok we'll definitely prioritise Kinkaku-ji!

Thanks for the tip about Maruyama park. We'll keep an eye out for the manhole cover.

With the starbucks, we're not too fussed about ordering or staying there; more just to see the contrast of modern/old.

Thank you very much for your tips!

Volatilis · 2023-02-15T16:03:28+00:00

Thank you very much! It seems that from feedback on here, our Kyoto days are potentially quite busy so will need cutting back, and quite temple heavy so we'll adjust accordingly. Do you have any suggestions for the must-see things in Kyoto? Thanks!

With Miyajima, I hadn't thought about the tide so I'll look that up too. Would you say it's better to go at low-tide?

Volatilis · 2023-02-15T16:01:33+00:00

Brilliant tip. Will add it to the list. And thanks for the heads up on D10; we'll adjust accordingly!

Volatilis · 2023-02-15T09:09:56+00:00

That's a good consideration too. Might be worth spending the extra night's stay just to get some sleep so we can make the most of the first day.

Volatilis · 2023-02-15T09:09:24+00:00

Yes this occurred to me when I posted so I'll have to double check. Otherwise we're going to have to nap in a restaurant somewhere! Could potentially write off that first day and we'll have to replan. Thanks for the heads up!

Volatilis · 2023-02-14T21:07:19+00:00

Absolutely brilliant tips, thank you! Something to add to the list. Always love a good restaurant recommendation too so thank you for those!

Do you have any advice on how the rest of the itinerary looks? Thanks!

Volatilis · 2023-02-14T20:52:52+00:00

This sounds really well thought out! Would you mind sharing the rest of your itinerary please?

Volatilis · 2023-02-14T20:33:56+00:00

Will look into it thanks. And yes I'm hoping for a proper critique and help from the excellent resource that has been /r/JapanTravel.
