@bonnie: Yeah!! I saw the website and i’ve been looking at videos too. it looks great = v= I’m really excited for the mandareke stores and gashapon machines!
@ashley: yeah i’ll send an e-mail to them today asking about the swallowtail so we can go together c:

[vinetabris]

:D
Oh, but I was also thinking about taking that offer to go to the swallowtail on the free day as well. Are either you or otakugirl/bonnie going to that too?
i think that would make a great free day; shopping then swallowtail = v=

[vinetabris]

I was kinda disappointed about the Swallowtail Cafe thing, but we’ll see how this new place turns out.
Also I’d never heard of Nakano Broadway before, but as an avid action figure collector, that looks like paradise! If you guys go can I come along to? I have a long list of Fimga/Revoltechs/Nendoroids/manga I need to buy.
Aaaa, a fellow Junji Ito fan! I’ve been obsessed ever since I finished Uzumaki

[vinetabris]

has anyone gotten their confirmation for their domestic flights yet (if you chose to let pacset take care of it)?
i got the quote, and e-mailed them saying i was okay with it and asked a few questions, but i haven’t gotten anything back yet ‘ n’
i just hope nothing’s wrong

[vinetabris]

Ah, you’re right, we’ll be staying at the Osaka hotel during the half-free day.
Although it seems that it’ll take about an hour to get to the temple from the hotel.
Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to make time for it during our Kyoto day..

Also I’ll traveling by myself too, so I’m hoping to make friends during this trip
Really hope I’m not the only one that wants to go to the Robot Restaurant, I might cancel if I’m going to be the only one going ‘ n’

[vinetabris]

Thanks for answering my question, Evan ‘ v’

Also I’ve been thinking of what I want to do during the half-free day in Kyoto, I think it would be fun to go see the Tou-ji temple

I’m also curious as to whether we’d be able to check out any antiques markets or flea markets during the trip. I’ve always loved going to flea markets, and I think i’d be neat to see what they have = v=

[vinetabris]

By when should we be informed of when our domestic flight is? I want to put in my vacation time at work, but I don’t know if I’ll need to request day before or not ‘ ^’

[vinetabris]

I looked up pictures to the hot spring hotel, it looks amazing!!
Has anyone filled out the survey yet?? There’s option for additional reservations, and one of them is for a Robot Restaurant, it looks incredible! I really want to go

Is anyone going to that? I wouldn’t really want to go alone ‘ ^’

I also really wanted to go to the Owl Cafe, but not if we have to wait for hours….

I’ll probably do the duffel bag thing, thanks for suggesting it!
Ah, that weather seems like the kind I’m used to here in Texas. = v=
I haven’t had too many people directly ask me for stuff yet, but it’s kinda like a silent understanding that everyone wants ~something~ from me. I asked my dad what he wanted me to bring back for him, and he told me he just wanted a jar of dirt :T
At least that one won’t cost me any money.

[vinetabris]

I want to pack light, but I will be bringing a huge ass suitcase with me since I do plan on buying a LOT, so I’ll probably need the space regardless of how light I pack = ^=
When I leave my luggage will probably weigh three times more than it did when I was going in, ehehe = w=

What will the weather be like when we go? Is it going to be really hot?

I’m glad to hear that we’ll have time for both the Evangelion store and the Pokemon center! Guess that means I’ll have to figure out something else to do on the free day. What did people on the last tour do for their free day?

[vinetabris]

I am with everyone who wants to go to the Evangelion store, so count me in on that.
Animal cafe hopping sounds pretty fun too if we can get a nice list of places.
As for phones, I know that my phone service doesn’t have any international plans, so that’s out, but I found this http://brastel.com/eng/japantravelsim
It’s a sim card, and apparently should work so long as your phone is unlocked. It looks like it offers both internet data and phone service, so I might go with that.

Hi, I’m Erica, I’m from Texas and this will be my first trip to Japan, so I’m pretty hyped.
I’m already trying to get prepared.
Does anyone know how they’re going to use phones over there yet?
I was thinking of getting one of those pre-paid sims cards for my iphone, but I’ve never used those before, so I dunno.
The last time I traveled internationally was before I had a cell phone, so I used the old fashioned phone cards, but if there’s a way to get an internet connection/phone service on my cell that’d be amazing.
Also who knows what they’re going to do on their free day?
Tokyo Disney sounds a bit expensive for me, but I was thinking of going to the Pokemon Center and Evangelion store if I could.
