We were there on a 2nd week of December 2019. Took about an hour train ride to reach Maihama station, collect our tickets and headed to the entrance. Despite it was a Tuesday, there were lot of people headed to Disneyland (or Disneysea), tourists and local alike. We headed to the Tomorrowland first, managed to get fast tickets to 'Monster Inc' while we ride on the Star Tours. Space Mountain was closed while we were there. We managed to catch the Christmas Parade at 10.30, ate our lunch and waited for the Dreamin Up Parade at 1.20pm and the Night 'Dreamlights' Parade too. (Tip: get a seat 1 hour before the Parade starts). We didn't have luck on the Lottery for both the Shows (located in Tomorrowland), hence we skipped those. We queue up for the Dumbo Ride in Fantasyland and managed to ride on Big Thunder Mountain (about 40-45 minutes queue) and went for rides with less queues; Toon Park, Island raft, Treehouse, Western Railroad, Pirates of the Carribean. Towards late afternoon, we noticed the groups of tourists had left, we went back to Tomorrowland and ride on Buzzlightyear with lesser queue. After the Parade, we managed to stay for the fireworks far left from the castle-with-no-sphere-and-under-refurbishment.) All in all, we were filled with Disney vibe to the brim, especially so for my youngest boy, his first Disneyland trip!

This temple is known for its fire ritual, which is performed several times a day. Visitors wishing to know their fortunes can purchase paper oracles from vending machines located on the grounds or pay a visit to one of the local soothsayers.

Highly recommend a visit here, especially with a volunteer complimentary guide which can be provided by emailing prior the temple’s information centre desk (which is located in a building that houses a large cafe across the road from the temple site entrance) I had emailed them the evening before and they were able to provide an English speaking guide for me. The guide was lovely and had excellent English skills. I was the only participant so we were able to move quickly through the area with great explanations of the different purposes of each temple. We happened to be there for the fire prayer service in the main temple. You must be able to climb several steps for the tour but it was manageable. The tour made my visit to this attraction so much more meaningful and I’d highly recommend accessing a guide or tour here, it is a great place to visit and the surrounding gardens are very tranquil. Allow time to walk the 15 minute walk down or back to/from the temple from the Narita Railway Station, the shopping and interesting shops/eateries are so interesting it might take you longer than 15 minutes!

Located right by the water. All shows were great. Killer whales were the best among the four. Lots of excitement and applause from the audience throughout the performance.

Mount Nokogiri used to be a quarry, and on top of the hill there’s a centuries-old Buddhist retreat. If you are lucky to come on a fine day you can enjoy sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and even Mount Fuji in the vista.

I took my 3 kids here today. From our place it is quite far. We took a train and bus. Since it is our first time to go to this place, I don’t know much about the place. The kids were having fun playing at the long roller slides. They rode a pony (paid 100 yen per kid).They touched and fed some sheeps and goats (free).They even touched guinea pigs (free). By the way, originally the entrance fee for adult is 900 yen. But since I bought ticket online I got it for 810 yen. For elementary student 200 down to 180 yen. For preschoolers 100 down to 90 yen. I know, it is not much differences but with this trip my preschooler is free. Going back, they have also enough space for you to place your tent. Since we didn’t go by car, I didn’t bring our tent. They also have kids museum. On B1, you can find their acting studio. Went in and found their information desk, and I got curious on the acting studio. For 1. 5 hours, there will be storytelling, kids will be able to play one of the character in the said story, dress up, put some face paint, and act. Paid 300 yen per kid. The kids had fun and enjoyed the set. Though it is time consuming, it was a good experience. While waiting for the call time, we go around the building. On 1F you can find the workshop area. You can make your own crafts. Have to pay, can not remember the prices. Prices vary on the craft. 2F has 3D arts. You can take a phot and it is free. Definitely we will come back and experience some other area.
10. MITSUI OUTLET PARK KISARAZU

Easily accessible from Haneda Airport! Nonstop shuttle buses are also available from Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Shinagawa stations. A resort outlet mall with about 250 shops!
Reviewed By Derekmou - England, United Kingdom
One of the best outlet park in Tokyo with a lot of international and local Japanese brands. You could spend at least one day here for shopping if you like Japanese brands such as Blue label Crestbridge/ Black label, ABAHOUSE, Franc Franc, etc. The only drawback of this outlet is the transportation to Tokyo city Centre Shinjuku is not so frequent. And no alternative transportation is available besides the shuttle bus service. You need to catch the shuttle bus and wait at the bus station in advance to secure a seat. It would be better if there are more frequent shuttle bus service to Shinjuku.
