Anyone try Zipair yet?

I saw a vid and it looks like a pretty good option. Looks better than United, I'd say.

I took zipair from sfo to Narita last week and it was like $400 cheaper than United or other options for a round trip. Left at 4pm and landed around 8pm, still enough time to go through customs and catch the train instead of a taxi. The WiFi didn’t really work so download some shows ahead of time.

May I ask for those of you in Japan right now how the media is treating Toriyama’s death? I’d love to see anything of people remembering him fondly right now.

The festival food at Senso-Ji in Asaka today is great, okonomiyaki for only 700. Lots of options

Do all the larger cities have a 5pm bell or just Tokyo?

I had the same problem in feb, tickets for Ghibli museum on the official website sold out pretty much instantly and even if you think you got a slot the website crashes twenty times while checking out and it’s gone. I bought walking tour tickets from willer that included the ghibli museum for 5500 yen but that’s still reasonable imo. They still have a few dates available in may and June and I would recommend getting those now if the dates work, they will sell out when it’s closer. Kichijoji park tour is nice too. Someone brought their pet bunny to the park all dressed up, very cute

What are some relatively inexpensive treats/gifts I can bring back from Japan to give to my coworkers after my trip? One of my colleagues suggested Meiji chocolates. I was thinking unique KitKat flavors.

Anything else?

7-11 pancakes with margarine and syrup
