I'm planning to take my wife and 11 year old daughter to Japan by mid-December this year. Bearing in mind our varying interests (shopping for wifey, theme park & J-Pop for daughter and photography for me), I've prepared my itinerary as follows:
na - Wednesday
* Depart for Tokyo at 23:45
Day 01 - Thursday
* Arrive in Tokyo at 07:15 (Narita)
* Hotel check in
* Ueno Park walkaround (Toshogu Shrine, Benten Temple)
Day 02 - Friday
* Hakone / Mt Fuji
Day 03 - Saturday
* Shibuya, Meiji Jingu Shrine
Day 04 - Sunday
* Shinjuku, Ginza, Akihabara
Day 05 - Monday
* Disneyland
Day 06 - Tuesday
* Disney Sea
Day 07 - Wednesday
* Hotel check out
* Travel to Osaka via Shinkansen (~3 hrs)
* Hotel check in
* Osaka Aquarium
Day 08 - Thursday
* Universal Studios
Day 09 - Friday
* Kyoto
Day 10 - Saturday
* Nara
Day 11 - Sunday
* Hotel check out
* Depart for SG at 11:00 (Kansai Intl Airport)
* Arrive in SG at 17:00
What do you guys think about the itinerary? Is there any "Must-Not-Miss" places for us? This will probably be our first and last trip to Japan so in a way, trying to make the most out of it.
For Day 4, I saw a tour organized by JTB - Hakone & Mt Fuji with return by Bullet Train - and it's damn pricey (at US$150?!). Was just wondering if it's worth the cost.
Japan-Guide is listing the weather as between 5 - 12 deg celcius. Just what type of "winter wear" should we get ourselves? Total noob haha. This will be our first encounter with non-Summer or non-Monsoon season. :bsmilie:
