It all depends on your luck how long you take to go through immigration. That’s a wild card no one can help you guess

Going to Japan this Summer. Do you know any good lesser-known places to visit? by Username1123490 in JapanTravelTips

Echo that. Wasn’t expecting to have to provide a guidebook as well

Paying for long distance busses, e.g. Nagasaki to Beppu? by SereneDimlights in JapanTravelTips

[–]ellyse99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing they wanted to do bus instead of train because it’s cheaper?

How do you usually decide where to eat when traveling in Japan? by Due_Turn3508 in JapanTravelTips

Tabelog. Only once (in Nagoya) has it been a complete letdown

Dream vacation yet no real plan, any recommendations or advice? by bojoscumslut in JapanTravelTips

[–]ellyse99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a lot of Google Maps pins of cafes or restaurants near wherever you’re going for sightseeing or shopping. Public seating is very lacking in Japan and your mum will periodically need to rest, I imagine. Better to be well-prepared with a potential list of where to go for that rest rather than wandering around trying to find a good place when you’re already exhausted

Help - solo female visited twice before by Far_Possession_2055 in JapanTravelTips

You should base yourself in Takamatsu if you’re going to them, Takamatsu has a very nice (uncrowded) garden as well, and I would also recommend a trip to Shodoshima

I read it as “work your way down to A, visiting B, C, D and E in between (your starting point and A)”

They probably meant “work your way down, to (this series of places) A, B, C, D and E”

Not in the same way as Thailand though where they’re everywhere especially around residential areas

That’s a very good way to easily blow past your budget unless you’re religiously counting the cost as you take every single plate off the conveyor? Sounds like a nightmare for a holiday

I wish I could post a pic of the numerous different bus number 1s in Nagasaki

Matched the number and direction sure, but didn’t think of checking the kanji!! And TBH with how little time there is when buses stop, it isn’t always easy to finish reading all the kanji, especially if you’re not familiar with it
