Japan: a position that brings a lot of nostalgia to me after 43 years on this planet!
My first ever flight journey was to the land of rising sun in October 2005, for a 2 week training assignment from office. Since then, i’ve travelled numerous times to Japan as well as lived in Tokyo with family for multiple years. My official stint there came to an end in 2016, when i decided to move back to Kochi, India, permanently. Since then, an itch to go for a short visit was always there for me, my wife as well as my 2 kids (elder one was born in a Tokyo hospital).
This dream for a brief stop in Materialized in April 2024. About 6 months ago, we started the manufacturing plans process. We reviewed the air value and could download the merit of an early reserve (RS. 38K for a circular vacation from Delhi through Airlines). As we had already lived in Tokyo, we were absolutely confusing from the manufacturing plans phase. We made the decision to have interaction in a 12 -day excursion. The upper level plan was a stop in the puts that we lost before, as well as that RestoPover Ating surely becomes more than the elderly so that our young adults can now delight with them.
The summary is as follows:
By the way, we travel from Kochi to Delhi and visited Agra in a one -day excursion, before addressing the flight to Tokyo, to mark the Taj Mahal on our wish list.
April 2 of the day of the party. Checked at Tokyo Haneda Airport around 5:30 a. m. , a direct flight from Delhi the night before. about 30 minutes from the city center. The selection of the airport depends on the airline. apartment and the suburb that my wife loves in her heart), and other old acquaintances on the road. 4. Hakone Rail Pass and JR Rail Pass 5. Venerated on Airbnb Stay. Es a great 1 bedroom apartment.

Matina vision of the Shin-O-Kubo station where we discover many retail points of sale that promote K-Pop products (my daughters were k-pop enthusiasts, I enjoyed this visit) latest matrix The Tokyo Marine Park, Odaiba.

AVR Thursday “Hakone – Romantic Car” – A beautiful hill station for a best 1-day trip from Tokyo. The holiday starts at Shinjuku Station (Odakyu Exercise Line). There is a travel package, which includes an exercise trip, a lake cruise, a cable car, a bus holiday and a cable car, all in circular holiday mode. Don’t miss out on this glorious package on your stopover in Tokyo.
The initial plan on Friday, April 5 was a stop in Disneyland, however, we dropped it because my children did not need it in some way. Instead, they looked for a stop at more k-pop points and went to Akihabara, as well as the Ikebukuro stations. All those positions are very simple to locate and succeed in local trains. There was a store that sold women’s bags with a small value and my wife ended up buying several bags of this type that made us buy a new recording length luggage to adapt it 🙂
We make the decision to maintain our recording luggage in my friend’s apartment / former colleague because during the next few days it will be absolutely out of Tokyo doors and do not need to send those big bags and spoil the comfort.
On Saturday 6-April 6 he went to Aomori on the fastest and longest Shinkansen (called Japanese for the high-speed train), called Hayabusa. An experience. And we also traveled from Aomori to Sapporo, then in Hakodate on a local train, because our remajor was planned in Hakodate. Hakodate is a component of Hokkaido, which is the highest in the north of the Japanese archipelago. It was the end of winter and therefore not much snow.
Avril 7 on Sunday 1. Hakodate income to Tokyo through the same year in the year. 2. They gave me the following higher speed exercise for Kyoto. It was a position in which we failed to stop in our resto in Tokyo many years ago. Therefore, it was included in the route.

On April 9, she visited Universal Studios: this is my eldest daughter’s main request. So we spent the entire day there. There were plenty of walks and things to explore, however, my daughter got hooked on the Harry Potter Doleading of the Park, and so we did.

This concludes a sweet and memorable for Japan!
Tips: 1. Take the JR Rail pass before landing in Japan. You cannot buy it after landing in Japan. This pass is extremely useful if you are planning for bullet train rides. Otherwise, for local train service, do not buy as it is not economical. 2. Visit japan-guide.com web site for details of all touristy places across Japan. 3. Credit cards are accepted in Japan, however, it will be good if you carry some cash, May 10k JPY at least. 4. Japan tourist visa process is pretty straight-forward. VFS Global is the authorized agency. Please go through them. Visa cost is only Rs. 1650 per person (Visa fee Rs. 500 + VFS fee Rs.650 + courier fee Rs. 550). We got the visa approved in 1 week from submission date. 5. Never use Taxi service except for distances less than 5 to 8 Kms. It is too costly. Almost all places in Japan are connected by extensive rail network. And it is easy to use this network even without knowing Japanese language. Please visit the site mentioned in point#2 above for more details. 6. Use Klook app for discounted tickets to shows / parks etc. You may also need this app to book cab for airport pick-up and drop in case you have heavy or multiple check-in bags.
Total expenses, adding the aircraft price ticket for four of us >> approximately Rs. 600,000. Keep in mind that my young people are 12 and 15 years old. Hence, the maximum of the positions where my eldest son was considered as an adult and therefore charged accordingly. There was no participation of the agents. The vacation was completely planned and executed through us. We use Makemyvacation and Airbnb for accommodation booking. I would be guaranteed Airbnb stays because they are very cheap compared to hotels. If anyone would like assistance in making plans in Japan, I am satisfied with more details. Please bite personally.
