Hi, we arrived in Osaka yesterday and rather than doing a post-trip report I'll be putting a few photos on instagram so if you have that you can find me @westgrove . We're here for 3 weeks and go to Disney for 3 days from 16th June (if that's just the bit you want to see!!!).

We are leaving for Japan tomorrow! I feel reasonably organised but I think that going to somewhere so different an with so much to see I'd always feel like I've under-researched. I'm trying to think positively about the flight by imagining how amazed Victorian intrepid explorers would be at the...

Thankyou- most of my clothes are quite conservative but I do have a couple of vests packed for under my dresses! I still haven't arranged a mifi but previous reports have also said that it is a really useful thing to have. Great saving on the train, how did you enjoy the journey?

Thank you so much for keeping us updated! I hope the weather continues to be nice for your whole trip. Sound like you are packing a lot in!!! I'm glad there are lots of great souvenir options, as I'm hoping to get quite a few! The food sounds wonderful and it's nice to know that you are getting...

I'm glad everything has gone so smoothly for you this far, hope you are having a wonderful time!!! - what's the weather/temperature like?

Have a fantastic holiday!!!it has come around quickly! We are arriving in Osaka on the day you leave :D look forward to seeing your trip report!

Thanks again! I had seen Hyperdia but had a much better look over the weekend and wrote down key train info etc.

Hi! Thank you for this, we have three days - however, I'm intimidated by the horror stories so pleased to read this. Sounds like you had a great (partial) day!

Aww thanks bc7ate9. We're just going to Japan now - we were pretty gutted at the time but we're ok about it now. I'd forgotten about this thread so I've just updated the first post with our new itinerary and may revive it now that it's nearly here! We have three weeks too - I'm quite overfaced...

Thank you Agent 86 / bc7ate9 !!! That makes me feel a little easier about it all. I just looked at Global Advanced Telecom mobile hotspot, that seems like a very good idea and I think we'd be ok with the cheaper option so thank you for the advice!

Thank you for some good ideas! I'll definitely have a look at google maps before we go too. When ordering things from say McDonalds, did you order entirely in English? I assume that you can speak some Japanese as you can read hiragana/katakana. I can also read these and speak a very basic level...

Thank you for this! We have a month now until we go to Japan for 3 weeks and we too are doing it on a budget, staying mostly in cheap hotels and hostels. Can you recommend low cost things to do in the evenings (when not at Disney)? We tend to start early and not do a lot at night but 21...

Hi- to avoid confusion I would also consider re-phrasing. I know a little Japanese and this means 'Anata wa watashi no 'baketto risuto' desu.' So, the other person would still need to know the meaning of Bucket list. As a side note, the use of the word You (anata) can be considered a bit too...

Hi - congratulations on booking! We're from the UK (Manchester) and we'll be going to Japan, on a very similar itinerary to you, for the first time in June so hopefully I can help with some questions once we're back. Some of the others may be able to help about packages as we've decided to...

Since 'booking' all aspects of our upcoming holiday we've had a set back, in that we booked our flights through Opodo and got a confirmation of the booking. The day after I logged onto the flight carrier's website and all was well. It turns out that Opodo waited 2 days to attempt to issue...

***EDITED - to updated itinierary etc! Hi, I hope to contibute some useful comments and information to these threads in the near future. I'm Laura and I'll be going, with DH, to Japan (for the first time) in June of this year. 30th May - Fly to Osaka airport via Amsterdam. 31st May -...

Sounds great - I look forward to reading updates and hopefully some trip reports! Compared with the mass overload of reports to gorge on for WDW and DL I'm itching for each new thread! :)

*ok - silly question - just read your signature with TDL on it once! :rolleyes1 :thumbsup2

Congratulations!!! Have you been many times before? We'll be going for the first time this June, but we're staying offsite at the Sheraton.

Thank you - I've added it to my planning notes! :)
