Most of our time in tokyo is not being scheduled since we may do a laidback trip.

I think that is our itenerary, is it doable? or do you have other suggestion to be added maybe?

Thanks for all your help :D

I guess you like Japanese POP culture/animatioh.

How about Ghibli Museum in Mitaka/Tokyo and Robot Restrant in Shinjyuku?
Also I recommend to visit Nijyo Castle and Chionin in Kyoto if posiible.

Hey Marvin, thanks for your reply

For Ghibli Museum we may ditch it because our time is limited and we finally choose only two of three which is fujiko f fujio museum and gundam front. In your opinion based on those three places, which are the best two?

For Nijo Castle, we also would like to go there but i dont think we can reach kinkaku-ji on time since it is only open until 4pm and we only take buses in kyoto (except to fushimi inari). For Chion-in, we also need to rearrange our itenerary in kyoto since this temple is also closed at 4pm.

maybe you could help us to rearrange our trip in tokyo if you have other suggestion for 2d2n :D

Thanks again for your reply!

Hey sorry i have one more question,

anyone here had bought gundam front ticket at 7-eleven? we haven't find any guide to buy from it, and i read that we have to write our name in katakana/hiragana. is it true?

thanks!
