Japan Trip Day 3: Fujiko F. Fujio Museum - Akihabara

Hi, sorry for the late update!
College life has started getting real and no near deadlines for a while so I could continue my Japan Travel Diary. Here on Day 3 we planned to visit Fujiko F Fujio Museum. Unlike yesterday, today's itinerary quite full of leisure so we woke up about 7.30 AM .... at least not so early like yesterday (3 AM) .....

Fujiko F. Fujio Museum Tickets @ 1000 ¥
Still remember what I've mentioned on day 1? We bought our tickets at AirLawson in Haneda Airport right after we arrived in Japan. To purchase this museum tickets, you must go to any Lawson Store in Japan, just tell the sales counter "Fujiko F Fujio Tickets" and they will help you to buy it using the machine. As foreigners who didn't understand Japanese, of course we had no idea how to operate the machine *sigh* although it's a self-service machine. 

The sales will ask what date and time do you prefer. They will also ask what's your name. Just mention something short, it's just for informal need. They will not match your identity card with the purchaser name which is printed on the ticket, LOL. A little bit tips here, it's better to purchase the tickets 2 days before, because if it's already full booked you must change your schedule. It has a certain limited visitors so not everyone could just packed in at the same time. Btw, I chose the time on 12 PM .... You could visit the Fujio F. Fujio museum's website to check the schedule time and make sure it opens at the day you would like to visit. Sometimes they are not opened on some local holidays.

Japan Trip Day 2: Lake Kawaguchiko - Mt Fuji

 PS: Useful links will provided at the end of the post (´◡`)

"Mount Fuji is arguably one of the most well-known attractions in Japan, both internationally and domestically. Nothing can be more frustrating than to plan a trip to see 富士山 (Fujisan – as it is called locally) only to be thwarted by clouds and low visibility"  - Tokyo From The Inside



Yeah, still feeling shock from yesterday's weather where it's totally different from what I've expected in SUMMER. Instead of blazing sunny weather, we've got dark clouds and rain instead. We didn't really sleep right away last night, but we were browsing for tomorrow's weather forecast in Mount Fuji here and there. All of the weather sites simply said "Cloudy and Raining" with percentage range from 40-60% but there was only this one site which said it's percentage is 20%. 

Since the weather for the next days until July 6 will be more likely have a chance of raining (percentage above 70%), we didn't swap our schedule and still went as planned. From all of our itinerary, there are only 2 days which absolutely need sunny weather since most of the sightseeing spots are outdoor and the transportation fee to go there are undoubtedly the most expensive ones compared to other days. Yep, so we bet our luck on that one website's percentage .....
