I think we shall not be in Tokyo for the right date, but if anyone else is Kyoto region on those dates, give me a shout. x

Don, the store is nicknamed "Donki" just like the animal but with a long "o". Lots of stuff, don't go while jetlagged, as it can sometimes be overwhelming!

So Tokyo is October 26? For some reason, I had it as Nov 26, and that did not work for us. Hmmmm.

so what tita? you going?? the return of the gang of roku.

Hey, who you calling tita? You know that's music to haole ears, right?

I would really like to go, and I know Mr lcuy would be up for it...Just have got to figure out how I can spend time in Tokyo, the Boston Gtg and my big HS reunion in early Oct. Çhoices.

just do it like the last time, when you went back and forth, and forth and back for a mere pittance, and got 30k miles in the process. such a deal.

honestly, if you find a deal like that again, pls let me know.i'll buy you and m a diet coke at the airport.

Hello,

We have tickets on hold arriving in Tokyo on Oct. 25 and want to be sure we wouldn't miss any planned or informal activities by arriving on Friday - our dates could be flexible. We would plan on attending the GTG on Saturday at the Gonpachi restaurant.

Look forward to seeing anyone attending the Boston GTG as well!

Thanks!

That's great Florida. We will count you as two for Sat nite at Gonpachi. Nothing else is planned before hand but you can all talk about doing something while at the Boston GTG. So far we have eight attending

Mr & Mrs HT(Linda & Peter) = 2
karen and bob (rhkkmk)(kmkrnn)---2
Craig and Jeane (2
Florida1 + guest = 2

Anyone else???? Still lots of time kuranosuke

Aloha!

Just looking at my Tokyo map. This is not near Citadines Shinjuku. Is taxi the best way to get there? Or is there an efficient way via subway that I can't see?

Craig,

Get there by subway from Citadines. If you don't have one of these download and print out for future reference.

A 5 minute walk away from Citadines is the M-10 Shinjuku Gyoenmae stop which you would enter and take train till the Kasumigaseki M-15 station(5 stops away) where you would transfer to the Hibiya line and get off at the Roppongi stop and exit there. The restaurant is a ten minute walk from Roppongi station. The whole subway process should take you about 31 minutes if you hit it correctly....a little longer if not.
You can leave with us from Citadines if you like or we can share taxis if in a rush.

You can plan your other Tokyo subway rides here:

Wow, that is a roundabout route via subway but it does get you there at reasonable cost. We would likely be back at the hotel at that time so it would be great if we could all go together. That will be our 3rd full day in Tokyo, so by then we will BW subway pros...

Thanks for the links.

Sorry for the link duplication

Still trying to work out my fall schedule for working in Cambodia. If I come to this, I miss Boston and vice versa.

Decisions, decisions...

Craig, I know it sounds complicated but not at all.

Yes lcuy do them both....you know us portagees don't know the meaning of vice-versa

Reading54, Enjoy Nagasaki! It's a wonderful town full of great sights and great food. Chinatown, Glover Gardens,Dutch Slope, The Peace Park and Mt Inasa at sunset were our favorites, gambatte!

rhk, Ok,I will pay for all the taxis in Tokyo......yah right,forget about it. btw, I hope you are studying that subway map I left for Craig above.....that's not rain, that's me peeing from the balcony above, lol. I am really going to enjoy Japan this fall!

Aloha!

Peter, that subway planner is awesome!

Yup Craig pretty cool and real easy to use.

Now just wait till you get lost in Shinjuku or Tokyo stations....I know most newbies try to stay clear of these two but they always just want a peek then snnnnnaaaaaaaaaappp.....gotcha

Aloha!

I have engaged a planner and subway know it all
