Our second Japan Trip finally matched that of the Autumn season in Japan. This time, rather than traveling from Tokyo to Osaka we opted to visit Fuji area in Kawaguchiko. The previous JR pass expenses bled my wallet to death.
And because experience is the best teacher, we took an AM flight this time. The previous Japan trip we had was a nightmare upon arrival. There was a typhoon at that time and the trains got delayed and what seemed to be an hour train ride from Narita to Tokyo became a 3 hr dilemma.
Anyway, we left Manila days after a typhoon swept the Tokyo area. We were so worried we might be seeing trees with no leaves . We saw on the news that some areas were already flooded, including Saitaman prefecture where Kawagoe is! But because Japan is a resilient country we expect they'd be able to repair the damage brought by the Typhoon, and this is true.
So we arrived in Narita airport at 10AM and had to claim our pocketwifi and other tickets purchased via Klook. We were able to snatch a good deal on it and paid PHP 2700 less than its value. So better be vigilant on sales.
From Narita, we took the Keisei Skyliner to Ueno Station and hailed a cab to Candeo Hotel Ueno. where we were booked. Its a short ride actually and we could have just took the train to Uguisudani [one station away via the JR Yamanote Line ] for ¥140. But because we have luggages and its rush hour plus a we have a friend who is waiting at the Shimbashi Station, we took the infamous expensive cab ride in Japan. The 5-min ride was around PHP900 if I'm not mistaken.
