THANK YOU!
WOW! First off, THANK YOU! I am so grateful for all the inspiration and tips!
Truly shows how wonderful Reddit can be. It's crazy how a group a strangers just made me feel so safe and excited.
I will be there August 23rd-Sep 2nd.
My skeleton plan is:
Tokyo 8/23-8/26 (arrive at 4 AM on 8/23)
Kyoto 8/27-8/30
Hakone 8/30-8/31
Tokyo 9/1-9/2 (leave the evening on 9/2)
Will definitely check into the options for socialization. Still vetting accommodations.
**I still don't really understand the different between pocket wifi and eSIM, i understand one is a device you have to carry with you, but eSIM sounds so much easier... do people do pocket wifi even if just using one device? I know I've heard of an app that shows all the options - does anyone happen to know what that is?
Random Qs-
- teamlabs planets vs. borderless??
- Anyone recommend any of the silly animal cafes? or anything else I should make reservations for now?
- I've been reading about the luggage forwarding and that sounds like a great option.... just wondering, are people usually bringing carry-on size and forwarding that while keeping a backpack on them? (i heard it can take 24 hour for delivery).
- I land at 4 AM at Haneda, I heard the Onsen in the terminal might be a good way to pass some time after landing, anyone else have any ideas for that morning?
- Any other specific restaurants, sights, stores, activities, accommodations, experiences that were to die for that you don't hear about as much?
Thank you all again so much. Seriously. The support has been so wonderful. I can't wait to come back and thank you all more profusely and share with all the people who haven't left yet about my trip and tips!! :)
