MrBooboParticipant
Here’s links to my pictures from the trip. I primarily only took pics of new stuff for me so if you want my pics from last trip just say so and I can add those links too. These are not curated so quality will vary.

In 2014 I went on this tour and it was a great experience. I’m looking forward to doing some of the things I liked last time like the convention and Akihabara, and maybe some new things like the Kyoto Animation store.
If I was to make a few suggestions to people, it would be ready in case it gets a bit cold and be ready to walk a lot!!
MrBooboParticipantMostly for the free day and in case I get lost, I wanted to find a map program that does not require an internet connection. While you can save google maps for offline viewing it seems a bit iffy and not as good as I hoped.
I tried two in the free and pay versions:
City Maps 2go and MapsWithMe.Both had good (and free) maps of Japan with lots of location info and detail.
Overall I would suggest maps with me as you can set pushpins in multiple places on a map and really see where you are going. I tried it yesterday with the GPS on and it worked really well.
If you get either one be sure to download your chosen maps before the trip.
Also if anyone has a better suggestion or suggestions for other aps or items that might be cool to have, I would love to hear about it.
MrBooboParticipantI don’t arrive until midnight so not me. I did enjoy the six flags in CA if you like rides otherwise there a ton of choices for attractions.
MrBooboParticipantWill the guide book you guys are giving us on the flight have a full list of where we are going? I don’t want to go somewhere on my free day only to find we are going there later (or no have any idea where to go on my free day).
MrBooboParticipantFor Tokyo my current plan is:
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (featured in Garden of Words anime)
Meiji shrine
Harajuku bridge (to see the cosplay)
Mori Tower (for the observation deck)
Shibuya CrossingMrBooboParticipantIf I recall correctly a bunch of people are going to Tokyo Disneyland and a few are going to Disney Sea. I think we also had some people going to Universal Studios.
I am a bit tempted on Disney Sea but have so far have convinced myself to do other things.
MrBooboParticipantWhat is 104?
MrBooboParticipantSo I am not sure why more haven’t joined yet, but in the mean time I am curious what people are doing on the two free days or such?
I am currently thinking about some or all of these:
Tokyo:
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (featured in Garden of Words anime)
Meiji shrine
Harajuku bridge (to see the cosplay)
Mori Tower (for the observation deck)
Shibuya Crossing
Robot RestaurantOsaka:
Osaka castle
Umeda sky building (check out the floating garden)
Spa world (maybe a massage)So what do you think? What are you doing?
