CreativeForce Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Okay, so there is a small chance that my Rebecca and I may be going to Japan for a week this summer. That means I would only get to visit about three parks. (We each get to plan three days.) So which ones would you recommend if we are staying in Tokyo?

robbalvey Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 1. Tokyo Disneyland 2. Tokyo DisneySea 3. LaQua Now you could ALSO do Sega Joypolis in the evening on one of your Disney days as it's about 20 minutes by train, open late, and it's in an 'entertainment complex' called "Pallete Town" that you both would probably enjoy. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 ^Hey, no need to be jealous, you get to spend three weeks with me in Europe where I'll describe all the death metal bands from each country we're in, and play examples of their music...

CreativeForce Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Yeah, those were the parks I was thinking aobut but I wanted your opinions too. The best part about it all is that we would be meeting up with Rebecca's brother(who has been to Japan several times) and his girlfriend (who is from Japan) and they would help us get around. It's all coming down to a timing issue. If the planets line up we'll be there sometime in July! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezus Juice Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 ^Yeah, stop by Prof. Oaks place and try the fried Squirtle on your way to Joypolis. JJ Ummm...Squirtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeForce Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 So this trip is looking like it might happen. (Keeping my fingers crossed.) One more question for you guys. What books and/or maps did you find work the best? We're looking at a hotel that's about a mile away from the Imperial Palace in downtown Tokyo and our next step is to figure out what's the nearest and easiest transportation to the places we want to visit. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 You coming up this way anytime soon? We'd be happy to lend you some of the really great books and maps we have. Do you just need Tokyo or other places as well? Elissa "Tokyo is easy!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeForce Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 We're just looking at Tokyo right now. If it all works out as planned then we would be spending 7 full days in Tokyo, with a day on the front and one on the back for travel. I will certainly take you up on your offer to borrow your books and maps, now I just have to figure out when I can make it up there. Work this year has been crazy. In the next four weeks I will be going to Las Vegas (twice), Hawaii and Costa Rica. I can't wait until things settle down at work so I can get back to the important stuff -- TRIP PLANNING!

(I leave in 3 days for Tokyo) Would you say that a trip to Fujikyu and Nara Dreamland are in order ? I'm fascinated by the Nara park :shock: !!! Cheers, Rob.

CreativeForce Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 It's official!! I got the time off from work and I just booked our tickets to Tokyo! The only part that sucks is that it looks like Raging Spirits won't be open when we go. (June 26-July4) Oh well, I guess that means I have to go back!

SharkTums Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 YAYAYAYAY!!!! That's so exciting! Make sure to hit us up for some of our Japan stuff before we leave for Europe. Ooo, maybe we'll have daily Europe and Japan updates on the site while we're both gone! Elissa "are you coming to the BBQ? We could give you guys the stuff then!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeForce Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 No we won't be able to make the BBQ, I'm going to working down in San Diego that day. But if I have my new laptop by the time we leave, I will definitely post some updates of TDL and TDS and whatever other parks we manage to hit! We're going to be staying in Kawasaki which is right between Tokyo and Yokohama. We have plans to go to TDL resort for two days and then we have to see if La Qua can be done in Half a day. (So we can fit in some touristy sightseeing.) I'm thinking that if Joyopolis is open late (or open at all) we might be able to hit that as well one night. Are there any other parks that might be a half day/few hours/evening type? I remember in your video that the last park you hit was at night with a coster that went either underground or under a flume ride. I'm going to have to watch it again. I'm also trying to learn a few phrases in Japanese. "Do you understand English? Where is the train Station?" Type things. It's a small CD set I picked up at Barnes and Noble for $20. Nothing makes time in traffic go by faster than learning a new Language! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 The Japanese for Dummies book and CD is great! As well as the "Speedy Japanese" flip book. Those two night time parks are in Yokohama. Sea Paradise and Cosmoworld. Both are highly recommended! I remember some of my Japanese! Do you speak english? (spelled more phonetically) Eego hanashimaska? Where is the train station? Eki wa doku desu ka? Elissa "can you tell I miss Japan?" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaneymon Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 ^ I can tell you can miss japan I can say hello my name is zane in japanese boku wa zane desu and alot of other thing Zane "I start japanese agein next week at school" Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeForce Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Almost there! I'll be in Japan on Monday! Our final itinerary includes the Disney Parks and Fuji Q Highland. I am still trying to see if we can do either Sea Paradise or Cosmo world one night. I will post trip reports and pictures as time permits, thanks to everyone for their tips!
