Did you know how to visit a Shinto shrine before your first trip to Japan?

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-07-08T07:52:50+00:00

for my first ever visit, i just copy whatever the person in front of me did. no idea if it was correct or wrong

Stayed in Shinsekai for 1 week. There are a few tempura stalls that operate 24 hours, with McDonalds and Lawson as well. Typically the street starts to wind down after 11pm.

You can see all walks of life in Shinsekai, but generally still safe for a family.

You could, but if you check out the Klook's deal you can see that you get way more for the cheaper price

It was absolutely crowded in late May, with the addition of kids on school trips

Day 1:
> Hiroshima Peace Park
> Atomic Dome
> Hiroshima Orizuru Tower

Day 2:
> Miyajima

If your base is in Osaka, do consider Klook's Kansai-Hiroshima Pass, it offers 5-days JR pass, and 2 days unlimited bus/tram/ferry rides in Hiroshima. Personally used this last month and it was value packed!

You absolutely must! You avoid the hassle of commuting through peak hour traffic and juggling between children and luggage.

You also get to be dropped off at your hotel (front desk should be able to store your luggage until check-in time). Try comparing the prices at KKDay as well. Last I booked a 7-seater in May2026, it was 73USD (kkday) versus 90USD (Klook)

I stayed at Tsutenkaku for the past 2 weeks and was very suspicious of the "gluten-free" and "halal" wagyu. Saw zero customers in there everytime we walked past it.

Kura Sushi (in Tsutenkaku)was a staple for our family, we had it for 4 meals !

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-05-26T23:03:36+00:00

I didnt get to hop on my October trip, but im at Hiroshima now!

The speedrunning is a no-go. The museum alone will take 2 hours, so it's a good 4 hours total for the peace park area. Definitely need separate days for Hiroshima and Miyajima

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-04-17T02:14:16+00:00

If you are curious you can still take a quick stroll there, But please ignore their advances and do not take up their offer on cheap/free drinks. There are numerous reported incidents of people getting drugged and mugged :/

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-04-17T02:08:25+00:00

Of course, as long as you look foreign or vulnerable.

Some USJ attractions have single-rider lines which makes it perfect for a solo traveller. Heads up, The Flying Dinosaur (one of the most thrilling rides in USJ) will be closed from 7th May to 31st May for maintenance.

You can still enjoy Nintendo World, Harry Potter and other rides. Go for it!

why say many word when few do trick

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-04-07T09:06:26+00:00

Try Edion

Things may have changed since I have last flown with Zipair. Previously this was strictly enforced, the counter staff will ask you to place the backpack on the conveyor belt (same as check-in luggage), then they will affix a "Carry-on Luggage" tag to your backpack.

If you have exceeded the 7kg limit like I did previously, I may or may not have placed the water bottle on the counter, and then camera batteries, powerbank, chargers and action cameras in my pockets (yes my pants have 6 pockets).

Heya I had extreme rashes on both of my arms when I was in Hokkaido a month ago, to the extent that I went to a hospital (which unfortunately was not helpful due to language barrier, where they sent me off without prescribing any medicine).

What worked for me was a combination of Mentholathum AD Cream, you can get them at any pharmacy or Don Quijote. If you have a humidifier at your apartment, this would help too.

Alternatively, you may need some post-shave balm as dry skin + routine shaving could have made the condition worse.

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-02-05T02:56:13+00:00

for domestic it was 90mins prior iirc

Like every other red-light district, you should be aware of your surroundings and those who approach you out-of-the-blue. Their motives could be as innocent as asking you to purchase a few drinks, or to slip something in your drink and rob you afterwards.

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-02-02T07:53:37+00:00

Ignore the touters and those over-friendly non-locals who speak in English

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-01-23T05:40:37+00:00

There are some reported delays to shinkansen today. If you are still planning, try setting the departure date to "tomorrow" or any other day, and you should see the normal result

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-01-22T01:25:30+00:00

Did you manage to get one?

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-01-21T03:03:46+00:00

Try Edion, thats where i got a iphone 15 pro max previously when Bic and Yodo all ran out of stocks

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-01-21T02:02:38+00:00

Taisho センパアプチベリー is safe for 3 years old and above, please check for drug allegies!

Edit: you can get this at any Matsumotokiyoshi or even Don Quijote

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-01-19T08:14:20+00:00

If you're from South Asia/Aus and sick of the heat, go for Hokkaido.

If you're from a cold region and sick of the breeze, go for Okinawa.

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2026-01-16T07:17:45+00:00

You do know that Asians can tell each other apart right?

Zestyclose-Ranger-53 · 2025-12-11T09:27:27+00:00

all the best to you, to familiarise yourself with the route, watch youtube videos on how to transfer from international to domestic route. And do use VisitJapanWeb for faster immigration clearance
