POV: It's your last day in Japan 😭

Remember the black screen that blocks Mt Fuji view in the popular Lawson spot because of unruly tourists?

Officials in Fujikawaguchiko found a hole in the black screen just 1 day after it was installed 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is why we can't have nice things.

Narita Airport to downtown Tokyo in 53 minutes 🔄

Some people are forgetting the existence of this cool-non-pointy-futuristic train that goes directly from Narita Airport to downtown Tokyo.

If you are staying near these stations:

🟢 JR SHINJUKU STATION
🟢 JR SHIBUYA STATION
🟢 JR TOKYO STATION

Then good for you! You're one train away from Narita Airport.

If you are staying near any JR stations that have access to the Yamanote line, all you have to do is transfer to those stations above and get on the Narita Express. Works vice versa.

Book your Narita Express tickets via Klook. Tickets are flexible, in case your flight got delayed or smthn.

Narita Express:

I'll post the timetable in the comment section for your reference.

-----

If you are staying near any station that services Asakusa Line, take the Asakusa Line bound for Narita Airport Terminal 1. This will take you directly to the airport as the train will change to Keisei Main Line along the way. No transfer too!

Somewhere in the middle of Itoshima's forest lies a café that feels surreal 🍃

This café uses local produce from the farms of Itoshima. You'll pass by a lot of farms before reaching this place. I highly recommend you try their coffee and cakes as they both blend so well together! ✨

The place is best to reach by car as the bus doesn't pass by all the time. Since this is located in the middle of nowhere, you have to plan your transport. Check the bus timetable! ✅

If you physically can, rent a bike outside Chikuzen-Maebaru Station. The hill is steep but the view is amazing.

📍 Forest Cafe Midori no Oto
561 Shiraito, Itoshima, Fukuoka

🚆 Chikuzen-Maebaru Station
🚌 Take Bus 36M
☕ Get off at Shiraito Forest

How to fully enjoy Universal Studios Japan? 🤔

They said "weekdays have lesser guests"

Sorry to disappoint you, but it doesn't apply anymore 🙅🏻‍♀️

Remember, Japan is battling over tourism and USJ is one of them.

🌍 Save money = Sacrifice your time

If you want to save a huge amount of money, go to the park as early as 7:00 AM. Wait for the gates to open. USJ opens at 9:00AM but they start letting people in 1 hr before the gates open.

Once you get inside, head to Nintendo World first without a timed entry. This attraction is currently the most popular in USJ so you have to do this first as people will all flock here once the gate opens.

Finish all the rides and photos you need and do the rest of the park.

🌍 Save time with an Express Pass

With an express pass, you'll get to save more time than spending an entire 2hrs waiting for your turn to ride.

Of course you still have to wait but it's not the same as not having the Express Pass. You'll get to skip the lines on popular rides which takes about 2hr+ waiting time, but with an express pass, you can skip the queue and you get to ride first.

It's not cheap so you have to decide which one you need to sacrifice. Your time? Or your wallet? Lol

🤷🏻‍♀️ So, now what?

Go there as early as you can to fully enjoy the park. If you can, get an Express Pass. This will help you skip lines and enjoy the park even more.

Skip shopping once you get inside, do this before you exit the park at night.

If you can't leave your hotel without eating breakfast, buy food the night before and eat it while waiting for the park to open.

🌍 Where to stay?

If you will explore more in Osaka, stay in Osaka. Here are the key locations to be central:

Namba
Nippombashi
Shinsaibashi
Umeda

Want to stay near Kansai International Airport?

Stay here:
Bighem Maison, Osaka JAPAN

Contact their host for availability:
Matte Bigata Hemmendinger

🌍 How to get to USJ:

Pin: Universal City Station

Take the Osaka Loop Line or the JR Yumesaki Line bound for Sakurajima

Get off at Universal City Station

JR pass works on these train lines.

🌍 Book your tickets here for a fast and smooth entry.

You'll receive a QR code that you'll scan at the gate. No need to queue at the ticket office, head straight to the entrance and scan your code:
