| It's really been a while since I last posted on MAL forums! Anyway, I stopped by to create this topic here first so I can prepare for the trip and I also plan on sharing my experience in travelling to Japan together with my mother. We plan on going mid-March and we are staying there for 5 days. Going around the city and we will try to check if we can see the cherry blossoms around that time of the year in Fukuoka. |

| Our itinerary goes like this.. Day 1 ~ Arrival at Narita Airport ~ Ikebukuro (To Visit Animate, Check Planetarium in Sunshine City, Don Quijote Shopping) Day 2 ~ Off to Gala Yuzawa ~ Shibuya (Scramble Crossing) Day 3 ~ Meiji Shrine at Shibuya ~ Tokyo Station Marunochi Entrance ~ Imperial Palace ~ Travel via Shinkansen to Hakata Station (Fukuoka) Day 4 ~ Sightseeing in Fukuoka ~ Check Nishi Park for Cherry Blossoms ~ Fukuoka Castle Ruins and Ohori Park Day 5 ~ Departure back to Philippines |

| One of my main concern during this trip would be the travel using trains. Off with the first question, is anybody here familiar with Hyperdia? It's a website that allows travelers to see which trains should they ride from the one point to their destination. It also shows rates and time of departures too. It's a very convenient website especially for first-time travelers to Japan when you are not really that familiar of the train systems. I will be using this website during the entire trip for our transfers and I just wanted to know if the ETD of trains and the fares stated on the website are accurate enough for us to rely on, as I am already doing the estimates of our possible expenses for the trip. Thanks alot! |

| Also if anyone can share any do's and don'ts. Things to expect upon arrival at the airport, immigration. Etiquette, tips on travel and others that would be very helpful! |

| Hello! I'm currently a junior in high school, and my school offers Japanese as a second language so I've been studying for 3 years now. I've planned my trip to Japan for summer 2021, the summer I graduate. I'm incredibly excited but, I'm also really nervous. This will be my first time traveling on my own and I'm afraid I'm not proficient enough in the language, so I wanted to reach out! I'll be studying abroad with a program located next to the Shibuya crosswalk (lucky me) and I'd really appreciate any tips! Thank you! |
Malicious intent is the only intent. Merry Hannukah |
