Narita Airport at night |
Malam tu, kami naik
Narita Access dari Narita Airport nk ke Kurumi Mansion. Harga 1000 yen. Faris n Farah half price. Mula2 susah jugak nak jumpa bus tu coz pekerja mereka pon x tau kewujudan bus tu. tp nasib ade sorang tu tau, dan bawa kami ke bus stop Narita Access.
Mula2 kluar central exit C1 or south exit S3 dan kena naik dekat southwing platform 31 (platform ujung sekali). Ini dekat terminal 1 tau... kalau terminal2 lain plak caranya. Duration: 1 hour plus. one thing about Narita airport, ia lebih jauh dari haneda.
Bas ni bawak kite either to ginza or tokyo station (yaesu exit). Belik tiket dalam bas terus.
Sebenarnya, ada banyak cara dari Narita nak ke central tokyo such as Narita Express (N'ex), skyliner, T-Cat dan mcm2 lah tp narita access ni antara yg paling murah. tapi masa kami di sana. T-cat tengah buat promo 50%. So, instead of 3000 yen one way, dapat 1500 yen shj for adult.
Skrg lagi best, 1000 yen aja (limited time). Tokyo Shuttle bus paling murah tp kena belik tiket kat tempat lain pulak.
Tokyo Shuttle Bus shares platform dng Narita Access, platform 31.

Airport limo ni stesennya sangat dekat dengan Kurumi
Mansion iaitu Suitengumae Station. From Suitengumae,
blh jalan kaki jer keKurumi,dalam 15 minit gitu la....
Kami x naik sebab malas nak menapak dari station ke kurumi. From Suitengumae,
x ada teksi nak ambik bawak ke kerumi coz too near. |

Platform 31: narita access n tokyo
shuttle bus share the same platform. |
Disebabkan dah malam, lps tu bawak bag bagai, kami pon naik cab untuk ke kurumi. Charge dalam 1000 yen per cab.
We stayed at Kurumi Mansion when in Tokyo. So far, it was the cheapest and fulfilled all my requirements for the stay.
I paid approximately RM230 per night for a triple room complete with cooking facility in the room.

Since kami sampai malam, office dah tutup tp Mr Yasuo of Kurumi Mansion dah tinggalkan nota dekat office dan kunci dalam bilik. So, payment i settle kan esok. Why did we choose Kurumi Mansion? 1st: it was the cheapest family room that i could find. 2nd:
it had attached personal kitchen in the room (a must!). 3rd:
ada washing room (yaayyy...boleh basuh baju) and it's free..... sabon pon provided. 4th: dekat dngan pasaraya Aeon, senang belik groceries untuk masak2.... Toilet agak kecik sikit tapi ok lah..bukan nak mandi lama2 sangat pon, sejukkk...Orang asia mcm kita ni x besar mana, so kira muat la tu...
Towel provided tp sabun semua x ada. kena belik sendiri ya....

Setiap hari kami jalan tepi sungai ni untuk ke station metro. |

Semasa di Tokyo, saya mmg msk hr2. Some people say u dont hve to cook during yr vacation holiday but to me, i enjoy cooking. 1st, i feel that finding decent halal food in Tokyo is quite challenging. 2nd: i dnt hve that much yen to spend on food at eating outlets. 3rd: x buang masa nk carik tmpt mkn... that's my personal opinion on the matter... but some people love to try different taste of cuisine from different parts of the world. So, ikot la...

Sepanjang di tokyo, main mode of transportation was train.
We used our icoca card yg belik di Airport Kansai. Kami banyak naik metro masa kat Tokyo. Metro paling dekat dengan Kurumi is Suitengumae Station (Hanzomon line) dan lagi satu Monzen Nakacho station (Tozai Line). Dua2 ni under Tokyo Metro. Ada 2 jenis line yang dominan kat Tokyo, one is Tokyo Metro Line and the other one is Toei Line. Boleh belik 1/2/3 days metro tickets atau boleh aja belik asing2 kalau rasa kita x utilise sebanyak harga pass. Rangkaian keretapi kat tokyo ni memang berselirat. Ada banyak, bayangkan subways kat London, haa... up sikit dari tu ya... in fact up bnyk...hehe... but trust me, once u're there, u can understand the system in no time. Berselirat but very systematic. Kami jugak naik other private lines lika Yamanote, Keiyo Line and Rinkai line.
Masa nak balik ke Kansai, kami nak naik flight semula di Narita. Kali ni dah pandai, so malas nak naik bus,
naik train from Suitengumae, tukar di Oshiage naik Narita/Sky Access line. Dalam 1 jam sampai airport. 1300 yen, faris farah 1/2 price. Farah dok hilangkan tiket waktu ni... adoila budak ni... dah la nak cpt p airport... nasib baik la station master baik, die kasik lepas. Kalu x, kena byr double plok... Itula, bila kita nak pegang, die mo pegang sendiri....lepas tu bising, katanya jatuh terselit celah escalator,,,ntah betol ntah tidak budak ni....
Whatever it is, even though we have hyperdia to help us navigate the journey/route, I still feel asking the station master is the best option to save yourself from getting lost. Sometimes, they even have the faster and cheaper route for us. It happened to us a few times. Route station master lagi pantas dan murah. and sometimes, the trains and routes look pretty similar.. so,tnya aja station master, kompom betol. Kami hanya silap 2x masa di Jepun.. itu kes bodoh sombong x mo tnya station master ler tu...huhuhu... kesilapan kecil aja mcm silap direction naik train and naik local train instead of express train.
Sampai sini aje coretan saya...lps ni kita sambong dngn tmpt2 yg kmi p masa di Tokyo... till then...
