    Avoid buying the helium balloons 🎈 at the entrance area because you'll see more designs once you walk into Disneyland. DO NOT tie the helium balloons at the pram thinking it is safe because mine got stolen when I tied mine to my friend's stroller while my 2 Nos. Mobile Devices were left on the bench & we walked a distance before realising they were missing BUT we managed to retrieve at the nearby staff counter - helium balloons 🎈 are more worthy than phones LOL. Download the Tokyo Disney Resort APP for maps & reserve tables for participating restaurants to avoid long queues - we dined at Grandma Sara's and waited for an hour to enter the restaurant since we didn't have any reservations, but the food is good 👍🏻 Be prepared to walk the entire day so wear comfortable shoes, but bring slippers in case it rains too. 🌦

    Nice aquarium in Osaka with wide variety of marine life in particular the whale sharks and other large species. Can spend about 2-3 hours admiring the aquatic ecosystem and creatures. Make sure keep to the entry timing based on ticket bought.

    There weren't many highlights. It was a reconstruction of an old building, which explains why there were so many modern architectural details. There was a lot of explanatory material, but not many original artifacts; it seems that apart from the foundation, there's not much from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era. The extra stone museum ticket wasn't really worth it. You just go in, look at the pile of stones from the foundation, and then leave. The Japanese are really something—they managed to put together an exhibition of such a small amount of material.

    I consider it as one of the best aquariums in the world. It has wide range of marine life in well-maintained exhibits. Everything looks in order. For me, the feeding of whale sharks and sight of manta rays, are the highlights, giving me and the boys one of the best immersive experience. The boys enjoy the dolphin show, recording it all down to enjoy it over again. The park around the aquarium has scenic views too. Overall it’s a pleasant experience.

    It's a bit far, so we chartered a car. There are speed passes available for purchase. But since I don't speak English or Japanese, I just had to wait in line. My private guide wasn't available today. We'll have the itinerary tomorrow. If you're not good at foreign languages, ❌ but have the money, find a private guide. Any recommendations?

    Shiroi Koibito Park is truly a snow fantasy destination, especially in winter. The entire park feels like a magical winter wonderland, with snow-covered buildings and charming European-style architecture that makes every corner photo-worthy. Walking through the park during winter feels like stepping into a fairy tale.Beyond the beautiful scenery, the park offers a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. The chocolate-themed attractions are fun and engaging, and the sweet aroma in the air adds to the cozy winter atmosphere.One of the highlights is the wide variety of souvenirs available. From the iconic Shiroi Koibito cookies to exclusive chocolates, sweets, and beautifully designed gift items, there are plenty of lovely souvenirs to bring home for family and friends. The packaging itself is elegant and perfect for gifting.Overall, Shiroi Koibito Park is a must-visit winter attraction—romantic, festive, and memorable.

    It's good value for money, and guests staying at the ART Hotel get a 50% discount. The onsen (hot spring) is open from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM; don't go too early. There's a local Japanese supermarket and a duty-free shop down the escalator at the onsen entrance. Nearby are also Wagyu beef barbecue and a delicious conveyor belt sushi restaurant (it's very popular, so be prepared to queue).
