These days I am going to process through my work the days that I will have on vacation, depending on what they tell me, I will make my trip to Japan, it will probably be approximately 10 to 13 days.... It will be the first time that I will travel, so I am very excited, the bad thing is that I will go alone... So what tips can you give me?
I was thinking of hiring a travel agent to plan the trip and not be alone.... I want to go to Disney Sea or Disney Tokyo, Nintendo World, Ghibli Museum, take photos at the Gundam statue, see the bullet train.
If there are more tourist sites more oriented towards Gamers and it could also be anime... Or museums focused on Samurai or Ninjas, am I available or what advice can you give me?
I pray that my trip can be made in the month of May or June... Otherwise it would be a little later, like August to November.
So August will probably be crazy hot and humid. I went at the end of June to middle of August and it was in the 90s every day. If you want to see something ninja-ish. Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea are super close to each other. You take the train to that stop.
Use this site to figure out how you want to get around. You just need to know your start and end station.
If you look up places you want to go for touristy places, they usually list the end station to get off at. As far as looking at a bullet train, you can usually see these at major stations. I believe Shinyokohama is the place usually take the bullet train from. But it also depends on where you are staying. I have family near Yokohama.
Look up youtube:
Visitor Suika and passmo cards
How to get around japan
First trip to Japan things to see.
Those can be a really big help because then you can look up online how to get to those places or maybe you find they look cool but are not really what you want to do.
I would recommend going to Kyoto where they have a lot of different things. Stay next to Nishiki Market. From there you can take local train, subway or bus and get around to see the tons of temples and stuff. Spend a couple of days, go see Mizudera, the monkeys, (bamboo forest is over rated). Also if I remember right, Kyoto is pretty close to other places. Osaka is "close" and Himeji castle is a little bit further west.
One of my favorite places to go is Hidatakayama. However this place a lone is maybe a day or 2 alone because it is pretty "out of the way".
I really like sake so my wife and I looked up breweries to see depending on where we went. Now that we have kids we haven't done this over our last trips.
Ghibli museum is a couple of hours kind of thing but I can't remember where it is at.
Google translate works REALLY well if you are off by yourself and don't understand the language. If my wife wasn't with me, I would just tell them, in japanese, excuse me,, my Japanese is not that good, one moment please, type it on the device, then show it to them. It worked awesome.
I'll try to think of other things but use youtube for now
, is golden week , awful idea.
