    Day 11 - Kyoto to Osaka

    28. februar 2023, Japan ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Day 11 Kyoto to Osaka
    We woke up and had an easy breakfast from the 7-11 downstairs from the hotel. We then went to explore Kyoto station and discovered the skywalk was shut before 10am. So we caught the subway to Shijoji and went to the Pokemon store again at 10am, where we bought a bit more stuff. We then walked back through the Nishiki market and back to the Anime store at 11am where Dale got a fair bit more stuff. (9,800yen worth). After this we caught the subway back to the hotel and headed for the Shinkansen.

    Osaka is only 15mins away from Kyoto, so the trip went quickly. We then made our way from Shin-Osakato Universal City. Where we are staying for 2 nights. We are on the 25th floor of the hotel tower out from of Universal city walk. We checked in, then decided to do the half day ticket to Universal Studios that lets you in at 3pm to close. (6,000A 3,600C).

    So off we went to Universal studios. Today's visit was a look see rather than ride fest. No Super Nintendo world available that late in the day. Not sure if it was a good idea, turned out it was a students day and the park was staying open an hour later than usual just for students. So not sure if that added to the crowd. At 5:40 we got in the Harry Potter ride line scheduled for 80min wait time. The line went on forever. The kids and hubby hated it, I loved it. So that was a nice end to the day, as we exited the ride just after 7pm, which was the supposed closing time.

    Then of course the lines at the restaurants at city walk we long, we were hungry and tired, so McDonalds it was. Eaten back at our ever so convenient hotel. Tomorrow we do it again just for longer, wish us luck.    Les mer

    Day 12 - Universal Studios Japan

    1. mars 2023, Japan

    Day 12 - USJ
    So we woke up at 6:30am and saw people already heading to the park. By 7:30am we were in the entrance line, after grabbing some breakfast from the Lawsons downstairs. There were hundred of people lined up by the time we arrived. They let us into the park about 45mins before opening (was set to be 8:30am),

    We headed straight the Super Nintendo world and got in the line for Mario Kart ride, the line was about 45mins, then we jumped in the Yoshi ride, about 30min wait, after buying some Yoshi and Bowser headwear for the kids.

    After this Jason wanted the MariKart popcorn holder, the line was long and slow, so I jumped in the single rider line for Hollywood dream rollercoaster (said 70min wait), I was out in 45mins and met back up with the famuly. From here we headed to Harry Potter to ride the Hippogrith, a ride the kids actually enjoyed after some trepidation. The wait was about 45mins., though stated to be 75mins.

    After this we grabbed some vending machine drinks and saw we were right beside a cart selling Angus beef meat pies, so we got some and sat by the docks to eat them. Then the Minions ride said 40mins, so we headed off to jump in the line. After this we went to the Spiderman ride as the wait was about 30mins.

    After this we went seperate ways for a bit. Jason and the kids went to ride the Hiffogrifth again and I went to the flying dinosaur, where you are suspended under the ride laying horizontally. It was intense and good, and only took about 45mins rather than the 80mins posted.

    From here we went to the Waterworld show. Jason and I went to the Hollywood Dream coaster while Dale took Oscar to the kiddy area. Jason and I ended up on the same coaster doing single rider. Then we went looking for food, but discovered many of the kiosks stopped selling food at 5pm. So we rode the Minions Freeze ray ride.

    Called it a day at 6pm. One hour shy of open to close, but 10hr day done. Not sure our legs will forgive us.
    We decided on Shake Shack for dinner, as it was closest and had no line.    Les mer

    Day 13 - Osaka to Tokyo

    2. mars 2023, Japan ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    Day 13 - Osaka to Tokyo
    We had a sleep in today and woke around 7:30, then we decided to try to make a Shinkansen one hour before the one we intended. Our check out and breakfast stop at the mega busy Lawsons stopped that idea. But we pushed onto Shin-Osaka station, and got on a train at 10:08 that would arrive 30mins earlier than our planned one putting us in Tokyo at 12:42pm.

    From here we located our hotel in Asakusa, dropped some bags and went to look for another suitcase at Don Quijote. Lunch was a dodgy Lawsons "hot box" yet it was cool, barely just warm food. We then went back to check in properly after 3pm. Did a quick change and headed for Kichijoji to meet up with a friend who was an exchange student with us 30years ago. We had a lovely din er with her and her boys, who are the same age as our kids.

    Back to the hotel late by 9pm. Then we headed out to the 24hr Donki to buy hubby alcohol. The tax free line was mega long, still in line after 10:30pm.    Les mer

    Day 14 - The final day

    3. mars 2023, Japan ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Day 14 - The final day
    We had a bit of a sleep in after our late night last night. We got another lawsons breakfast. Then packed up all our bags and checked out, storing our luggage there.

    We then walked from Asakusa to Ueno wandering through the streets. The we caught the Yamanote line to Ikebukuro and went to Sunshine City. Here we visited yet another Pokemon store and also a gachapon store (capsule toys) with over 3000 machines.

    After this we had another Taiyaki, not as good as any of the others we have had. But we did get to wait and watch them cook it. Then we headed to the nearby Don Quijote allowing the kids to buy some lollies. From here we went to Bic camera and got some Tomica cars and some figurines. Then it was 1pm and we were hungry, so we found a Saizeriya nearby and went for some lunch.

    Back to the hotel by 3pm, then grabbed all the luggage and trekked back to Asakusa station, then to Akihabara and onto Tokyo station. Nex tickets booked and on the platform with a few minutes to spare. 4:32pm Nex to the Airport.

    Good timing arrival at the airport, we were 4th in line before check in opened. We ducked downstairs and collected the ski bags from Black cat, then had just a few minutes before check in opened. It was good that our weight allocation was spread over all bags, not per person, so that saved any last minute packing changes needed at the airport.

    Check in done we walked back to T2 for dinner at Yoshinoya, ending our trip the way it started.

    Our plane arrived about 30mins late around 7am into the GC.    Les mer
