Shibuya Sky is definitely a must-visit observation deck in Tokyo! Located right above Shibuya Station, it's just a few minutes' walk from the station exit, making it incredibly convenient and avoiding any detours. I highly recommend booking tickets in advance, as tickets for the golden sunset hours are extremely popular and it's easy to miss out on suitable time slots on-site. Booking ahead saves you a lot of trouble. The observation deck consists of an indoor corridor and an open-air rooftop platform. The open-air platform is the biggest highlight, offering a 360° panoramic view without any glass obstructions. You can directly overlook the famous Shibuya Crossing, with the dense flow of cars and pedestrians below, creating a truly breathtaking atmosphere. On a clear day, you can see Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree simultaneously, and with luck, you might even see Mount Fuji in the distance, taking in the entire cityscape of Tokyo. I chose to enter in the evening to see the daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. Watching the sunset paint the city in a warm gold, and then as darkness falls and the city lights gradually illuminate, creates a vibrant yet romantic atmosphere—it's incredibly soothing, and every snapshot looks like a professional photo. A word of caution: the rooftop terrace is very windy, so bring an extra jacket. If you're wearing a long dress, be sure to dress warmly, and tie your long hair up. If you get cold, you can always retreat to the indoor viewing area, which also has many great photo spots. The facilities are excellent, with lockers for luggage, and a rest area and restrooms. The only minor drawback is that it gets very crowded around sunset, so you'll have to queue for popular spots. Also, tripods are prohibited; you can only shoot handheld for nighttime views. Overall, the experience is fantastic, with expansive views that allow you to fully immerse yourself in Tokyo's vibrant cityscape. If you want to see a panoramic view of Tokyo, this place is definitely worth a visit.
Arrive early and show your QR code to the staff, who will then provide you with the complete ordering rules and menu. The store is decorated adorably, and the food and drinks are good too. Cute things abound everywhere. After your meal, you can go next door to buy family restaurant merchandise. The 6th floor occasionally hosts Chiikawa pop-up shops; this time it happened to be a dinosaur-themed one. On B2, you can also buy Chiikawa Land merchandise!
After receiving your tickets, everyone needs to download the Universal app to register for a QR code to enter the gate. My kids absolutely loved it, and although the queue was long, it's still an unforgettable experience for me. Remember to try the butterbeer, everyone!
I used this during my trip to Bangkok. Despite the low price, the connection was good and it was very convenient. The fact that everything could be handled through my smartphone thanks to the eSIM was also a big plus.
It works fairly smoothly overall. The main purpose of this trip was to climb Mount Fuji, where the signal was occasionally weaker, but overall it's very smooth to use.
KKDay tickets require reservations, but I arrived 10 minutes late due to transportation issues. Luckily, I was still able to enter. The museum isn't large, but it's full of childlike fun and has many unique souvenirs. I really loved it! 💕
This trip to Universal Studios Japan (USJ) with my family was an experience that can only be described as "breathtaking and incredibly fun!" As someone who has visited theme parks in many countries, I can attest that USJ is absolutely top-notch in terms of scene detail and immersive experience.
Especially when we entered "Super Nintendo World," the scene perfectly recreated our childhood memories: vibrant green pipes, moving question mark blocks, turtle shells, and the awe-inspiring Bomber King. Combined with interactive tapping games using energy bracelets, both adults and children had a blast, feeling as if they had truly stepped into the video game world.
I highly recommend that anyone traveling with family purchase the "Express Pass." Besides guaranteeing smooth entry to the super popular Mario area, it also saves you from the 90 to 120 minutes of queuing time for popular attractions. With limited energy, the Express Pass allowed the whole family to relax at a much more leisurely pace, without wasting time in crowds, significantly enhancing the quality of our trip.
The park staff's warm interaction, the exquisite themed food, and the joyful atmosphere all added a lot to this trip. Buying tickets and using the fast-track system in advance, the on-site QR code entry process was smooth and seamless. It was a dream trip that left the whole family with wonderful memories. A truly five-star recommendation!
I spent a day each at DisneySea (25th Anniversary) and Disneyland, which coincided with the Japanese Obon Festival. Security was quick; I just had to take a sip of my water bottle, scan my ticket, and I was allowed through. The most important advice is to plan your route in advance and arrive at the park early to save time by paying extra to grab or buy DPA (Disney Park Accessories). Keep a childlike heart and queue for every ride and show. Bring enough cash or credit cards to make the most of your time.
