If you're using Chrome, it can translate the whole page. :) I've used it for looking at menus at TDR and for trying to book reservations on other websites. I have to admit, when I called it was probably more complicated than it would have been otherwise because I do know a tiny bit of...

In our case, we called from the USA. I had several questions about packages as well, which is why I remembered in my case the cost of the package was about the same as 2 nights in a "cheaper" room at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel. I personally didn't have a hard time making the reservation for...

Honestly, I don't think anyone is taught what is on display at "Christ's" Grave or it's "educational" museum. I don't know how popular it is, but foreigners often go because it's sort of hilarious if you're not offended by it. Just the fact they think "Christ" is Jesus' last name is sort of...

I think we're going to commute in from Tokyo, because I don't want to change hotels a 3rd time and because I am staying super close to Tokyo Station as is. So since my hotel is not necessarily one that sells tickets, it's easier to just get them at the start of my trip from the DisneyStore...

Yeah, as I said I lived in Houston one year, so I think for you in particular, it's just not going to be that awful. I mean I am looking at the weather forecast for this upcoming week in Tokyo, and yes, it is raining a lot, but the highs aren't even 85. I'm from CT and it's just not that bad...

You're in Houston, right? If you're in Houston, Tokyo will be a piece of cake, it's nowhere near as hot as Houston is in June/July/August. (I lived in Houston for 1 year many many years ago while my husband went to Rice.) It is hot and humid, but a lot of the people who complain about it...

Can she go in the Summer? I would honestly just go in the Summer because having more time is better than only having 5 days in Japan, it seems like an awful lot of money to spend on airfare for such a short period. It is hot and humid in the Summer, but it's just not that bad... and I might...

I can't get the bus time table to come up, but I find once you have to take a smaller train line that runs once every 1-2 hours to a bus, that even the website warns is occasional, you're at the border of being inaccessible via public transport. I guess if you are staying several nights in...

I don't know if I would say eccentric and I'm honestly not sure who this is targeted at because it's a PIA to get to but.... The number one weirdest, most "eccentric", and possibly offensive, depending on your religious bent, experience I have ever had in Japan is visiting Jesus' "Grave" in...

End of March will be crowded. Lots of colleges have their break then and I think there is a regular school break then as well. The Disney parks are hugely popular as "date" destinations, particularly Sea. If you use the crowd calendar recommended by TDR Explorer anytime after 3/16/18, you're...

If money is no object, it may be worth it? I remember looking at the packages last year and for us, the cost was about 50-75% more than booking a la carte and not having the fast passes. I think a lot has to do with when you visit the parks, the weather when you visit, and how often you go to...

No, depending on time of year and specific room, the Mira Costa will not sell out almost immediately. I decided against it, but about 1 1/2 months from when I will be in Tokyo, there were rooms available at the Ambassador, Mira Costa, and Disneyland Hotel. (I am not sure about Celebration as I...

Here is the problem Haley, *I* am assuming that the municipal law in Shibuya doesn't affect standalone structures, but honestly, *I* don't know, my Japanese isn't that good and I have my doubts that yours is either. It's a risk. If the law specifically for Shibuya is *ALL* rentals, you are...

I don't know, I've just heard the people I know in Osaka complain about how rents have gone up and at the same time, I've noticed Osaka is higher and higher on people's must-do list in Japan. I do know that people in Osaka are frustrated by people not using takyuubin (and I would not be...

If you're really into Pokemon, you do know about the new Pokemon Cafe, right? https://www.sweetyhigh.com/read/pokemon-cafe-menu-2018-030218 I've not been there yet, but I do have a reservation and can report back on it some time in July. I find the toilets and the metro easy to navigate, I've...

Really? Because I heard from friends in Osaka that the price of rentals had risen a lot in the last few years. From what I was given to understand the housing surplus tends to be in area where people don't want to live. It's a bit like pointing to Youngstown, OH and saying, there is plenty of...

It is unclear if all listings that are against that specific law have been removed. However, one important point I think that needs to be emphasized, is this particular law is *NATIONAL*, however cities and municipalities are ALSO passing their own laws on top of this national law. So...

Depends on your price range and group size. If money is no object, Tokyo has some superb hotels. If I had the choice between a room at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel and at the Tokyo Station Hotel, it's the Tokyo Station, hands down. The service is way way way better. My next trip I'm on a bit...

Thank you! I'm hoping to catch iris in Kanazawa the last week in June and hydrangea in 2 weeks in Kyoto and then again in Kanazawa. :D I feel guilty saying this, but I am still debating TDR. >>; We went last year, but I am just not 100% committed to going this year. The parks are nice, but I...

Are the irises finished and how far along are the hydrangeas?
