Thank you @villauk for your very useful info on Japan! We are on Millennium in a couple of weeks, flying to Hong Kong first ( cheaper than flying straight to Tokyo). 

I usually sort out things to do, excursions etc and am currently stuck on Kyoto so your programme was a great help! 
The other interesting point was about the wi fi. We usually book the included package but for some reason we didn’t. So I will investigate that further! It looks like the basic is the cheapest but not necessarily the best!

Have a wonderful time. I’m glad I was able to help in a small way. Definitely go for the Premium on the WiF, especially if you want to be able to use CC.

Still hot and very humid weather in Tokyo and Kyoto, 33C and 35C respectively.

 

Tokyo Go-kart tour:

 

kyoto station always crowd with tourists.

Just landed in Vancouver, Canada. Temperature is 16C, what a big difference. Before Osaka departure, took a train from KIX to Rinku-town (1 stop, 5 min) and shopped at TRIAL, loaded up Japanese candies and snacks. Whoever will travel in Japan during summer (June - mid September), factor in typhoon, hot and high humidity (85%) weather.

Their videos are mostly about them, the cruise/ship they are on is just the "set" for their movies.

Why dis on them. They are super helpful and informative and are fun to watch.
