Universal Studio Osaka

Bismillah...

A few tips going to Universal Studio Japan:

• Come early in the morning to be able to enjoy all rides.
• Avoid weekends/school holidays/public holidays
• Go there on weekdays (there are a lot of people even going there on Monday)
• Buy Express tickets to avoid queuing 1@2 hours for a ride. Last time we went there on Saturday, even with express tickets, we still need to queue certain rides for 1 hour. Just imagine queuing without express tickets *sigh*
• You can buy the express tickets at the gift shop on your left of the entrance *it is limited*
• If you don't understand Japanese language, don't go to the shows as you won't understand a single word they say.
• There are certain time frame for the express tickets, such as Biohazard the Real.
• You can bring your own food into USJ. No food restrictions.

Biohazard the Real was awesome!!! Unfortunately I didn't win.

Have fun and enjoy the rides!!!

Wassalam & Cheers.

Tokyo

Bismillah...

On our first day in Japan we explored Tokyo via its public transport. We paid 1800 yen for the Tokyo sightseeing Hop on Hop off bus. The operating hours are from 9am until 5pm.

It had 3 routes. We were given a map to choose our own route and timing for each stop. We went to a shrine, Tokyo Tree Tower etc.

We were lost after visiting the shrine. But it was worth walking along the road and just watch the environment and enjoy the view.

The day ended with shopping and eating sushi above a rail station.

Fun happy experience with cousins in Tokyo.

Wassalam & Cheers.

Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka in 5 days.

A short happening awesome trip with my cousins.

We travelled in a group of 4 people. I went there with two cousins; Wan and Wawa and met my 3rd cousin;Faisal in Japan. 

We took a noon flight and arrived Tokyo airport around midnight. It was a short fun flight with cousins. This was our first trip together. As we arrived late, we decided to sleep at the airport.  The airport is very clean and people friendly. There's a lot of chairs for us to sit *and sleep*. A lot of other travellers did the same. We prayed in the breastfeeding room. Early in the morning we took the train to the city and headed to our hotel in Higashi Shinjuku.

Our first destination was Fujikyu @ FujiQ. The amusement park was awesome. I'll definitely go there again this June.

Our second day was well spent in Tokyo city. We went to a few shopping malls and shrine.

On the third day we headed to Kyoto by a bullet train. We went to a shrine in the evening.

On the forth day we cycled in Kyoto and had shushi. The best sushi in this whole wide world. Yummmyy!!

On our last day we went to Osaka and had fun in Universal Studio Japan.

Japan is definitely a great place to explore different culture, food and environment.

Wassalam and Cheers.
