Sampai je Tokyo , letak beg kat locker terus pegi Tokyo Skytree . Setbek bawak bagpack je so boleh pakai locker 500yen. Samada nak pakai kad ic(untuk bayar dan jadi kunci)  atau bayar cash dan kita akan diberi password untuk buka locker tu.

Pukul 9 dah buka dah Skytree. Lokasinya di  Asakusa. Tiket masuk kena beli hari yang sama sebab untuk tempahan online kena pakai kad kredit jepun atau pun tempah melalui agensi pelancongan. itu pun sampai 8:30 dah ada dah beratur tapi takde lama sangatkan.
Kalau sapa tgk show Korea return of Superman. Junu and Junseo dan appa beratur bukan main panjang lagi nak pegi sini.

Bukak je kaunter , terus semua staff ni bagi ucapan macam "Selamat datang ke Skytree, kami sedia berkhidmat" lebih kurangle sebab dlm Jepunkan. Ada 2 bahagian observation deck... sebab bajet ,pegi yang kawasan amjelah.

2,060 yen

Stesen subway : Tobu Skytree line

Nagoya Mosque

Lepas balik Korankei, terus pegi Nagoya Mosque. 3-5 minit je dari exit subway . Oh kat sini walau pun dorg tak pakai english sangat tapi dekat subway tu dia tulis wicket... sampai2 je apa ke menda ni wicket ni...lol rupanya sama maksudla dengan exit....( apsal le tak pakai exit je)

Cara nak pegi :

Higashiyama Line, Stesen Honjin.
Dari exit 3 kanan, jalan sikit dan kanan lagi.
Masjid satu row dengan kedai2 lain.

Lupa plak nak beramah mesra tanya kut kut ada restoren halal area masjid. Last2  balik stesen Nagoya dekat tingkat 13 JR building ada restoren India (maharajah). makan nan ....sini kuah tak dpt sekali macam Malaysia. Kalu mintak kuah mahai beno ini pun dah tuptap harga dia. makanle nan kosong . Sumer restoren kat Jepun akan bagi air kosong free.Tapi sebab masa tu deepavali dpt ni comlimentary -ladoo rasanye.
Comei je waiter waiter jepun pakai ala2 sari.

Japan Sim Card & Getting Around Japan

Last time i rent a wifi for 4days it cost me 3960 yen ( but at that time we share for 4 pax) the hassle is u have to stick together at all time.
This time i travel alone, so i choose to rent a sim card. I rent from cdjapan website. It cost me 2840yen for 7 days + inclusive shipping fee to hotel.Fair enough i need it just for some googling , instagram , google translate and in crucial times google map!

Hotel in japan especially if u want a private bathroom is expensive...i also need to control my expenses. other way to reduce cost is inclusive of sleeping at airport  and I travel via night highway bus from Nagoya to Tokyo . yeay when I wake up im already in Tokyo.(plus shinkasen price can be more expensive than flight lol) bus is the economical way. Plus their highway bus have plugpoint so u can charge all of your gadget all night long.

sim card

This sim card is totally for internet usage. no call and no sms. You just need to mail back to cdjapan after the rent duration and there is mailbox at the airport. Senang je...

Ic card
Last time i only use daily passes, eg JR pass, 3 day kansai pass. I never own a ic card which is a prepaid card. Bought one at Nagoya coz my travel budget < pass. I just need standard ticket, so i better use this ic card i just need to tap and go. Nagoya card is call Manaca and u can buy it at the machine.  I can use this card at Tokyo too.

  

Korankei Nagoya

End of October view

My sis already back to KL , she also manage to view Chubu's sky deck...hmm i also have a choice whether i want to go back to airport to visit the sky deck but i choose to go to Korankei instead. Korankei is the most time consuming to travel but it is the perfect place to view autumn foliage in Aichi perfecture.
You may also experience traffic jam in November because it is so popular. 

Take metro to Toyotashi station or Higashi Okazaki and wait for Meitetsu bus.You can also go to the Tokyo plan , Kaikan Museum from Toyotashi but u need to reserve the admission ticket first .

Its raining ,and it is so cold. I asked cafe staff at the station to check the schedule for me. Thank god i rent a Japan sim card so i use my google translate apps. There is not so much info  in english .Therefore i try my best and reduce my Manglish for this post.Incase  it can assist others. The auntie write down for me the schedule ( 1 bus every 1 hour) going to Asuke. I think mine is 8:40 am....sorry i cant recall.

The bus is in pink color and dont worry Asuke is written in roman on the bus. Korankei is the 18th stop.
 There is also screen showing you the current stop inside the bus.

It is foggy due to the rain. My south east asian body is also shivering but this village is very pretty and calm. It is worth it to travel here. Cant imagine how pretty it will be in mid November !

ginko tree

Since it is cold , i just want a hot drink. Again i have to use google translate , i try and order soba lol but she said xxxxxx ( i cant understand) lol that is why i just ask for hot drink. Funny thing is hot drink in Japanese is still hot drinkeu lol .I just said coffee then.Turns out that restaurant only sell ramen lol as translated by Jae.no wonder no soba. Auntie/okasan ? is try her best to communicate to me i only said to her Kominasai , wakarimasen when i paid my coffee. She just said something like "its ok" haha

The next bus to Higashi  will be at 12:51 ( also translated by Jae haha) so i still have time for soba. Went back to soba restaurant near the red bridge.

Soba - 650 yen

There is no bus to Toyotashi from 10-3pm that is why i choose Higashi Okazaki (800yen). 30 stops from Korankei...im  a sleepy head...zzz but before i doze off i can view the nature from the bus window. Oh we can use the manaca card ( prepaid card) for bus fare but on the way back i have to use cash.(forgot to reload) OTL
There are 2 machines besides the driver one is for coin change and one for payment. I put my coins to the coin change machine...yep all the small coins went burst out...The driver just laugh at me.You pay only when you arrive at your stop.
