My Japan Travel Snaps (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto)

Haha. Gotta track the costs carefully. I'm sure you're aware that it's easy to overspend in Japan, especially Tokyo. In Osaka I got lured to step foot in a shop named Yodobashi (something) and was badly tempted by all the cam and cam gears I saw. :bsmilie: I wonder how much more had we gone to Akihabara when we were in Tokyo days before...

Thanks all. Glad you liked the pics. I've still got a lot more to post process... will share 'em up along with some info as soon as I get them out of the oven. :p

:Later,

haha...luckily u did not go to Yodabashi in Akihabara..the place is awesome and even have great deals for toys (collectible) on top of the camera/electronics stuff... I was super happy in there though my wallet weeps..haha.
 

wow the screen so big.... :bigeyes:
Not only big but crisp, clear and vibrant. I loved it so much that I found the krisworld display on board the B777 on our way back to Singapore from Osaka pathetic. :bsmilie:

Ey don't make me regret. :bsmilie:

Anyway, just one photo for today..

is the legspace good enough for a 1.8m guy? i find those on B747 rather small for Economy class.

will be perfect if not for the slant, maybe u want to correct it with PS. :think:
 

Wow...cool shots of your trip. :thumbsup:

I will be heading to Tokyo next month and really looking forward to seeing/shooting some of the sights too.
 

Hi, Thanks for sharing your itinerary and great photos. I'm planning a Japan trip with my family and I really like your itinerary. This really save me a lot of work.
 

I love the shots... it's amazing how you can take such good pictures on such a tour :p
 

Hey! I was one of those who went to Japan early Dec with the JAL flight at $500 all in. Must say its been one of the better experiences of my life. But i just brought a point n shoot camera but must have taken close to 1000 pics as well over a 10 day period. I went to most of the places that you shot, haha... So much nice kawaii stuff there, and the people are exceptionally nice and polite as well!
 

Thanks guys. Glad you liked the pics presented thus far and that you find the information given helpful (which is actually my intention).

38. Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. You can take the Puratto Kodama Economy Plan if you have an extra hour to spare and wants to save some money (around 3000+ yen savings).

39. Bento. I :heart: their Bento. So much variety cramped in a box, full of flavor. This one's bought in Tokyo Station prior to boarding the Shinkansen.
