I have a 5 day window to go DL HK and it's appearing it'll rain on all 5 days. I have yet to get tickets and really bummed. I have 3 little ones with me so a trip to DL in the rain isn't ideal as I've planned this for ages. I don't mind a little rain but it doesn't look good for Thurs.

Any advice/tips? ponchos for all? I know a lot of rides are inside but will rides close outside due to rain or only if it rains heavy? I'm debating if it's worth it if it's forecasted to rain a lot or ignore the forecast (as a local told me it's not always accurate even the day before).

Thanks

We plan to arrive at Amaterasu railway by 9:30am to try secure tickets for train ride mid morning then Takachiho gorge boat ride after lunch.

With little kids, my husband was thinking to drop us off to line up to get train tickets while he drives and finds parking near one of the available Takachiho gorge parking lots and walk back to us for train ride. Then after train ride - instead of walking to Takachiho gorge - are there shuttle buses to take us there? Will have 6 of us total. Or would it be better to just find parking near Amaterasu (I heard limited parking close by?), do train first and then find whatever parking is left?

Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. I am trying to work out if we arrive at 9:30am to Amaterasu railway - how long approx will it take to secure a ticket? Our aim of the day is Amaterasu railway first, then takachiho sight see , lunch and then boat ride.

Thanks!

Has anyone ordered glasses from Jins or owndays and know approximately how long they may take to make? I have high presciption and astigmatism.

I plan to visit with script ready on day 1 in Fukuoka (staying for 7 days inc weekend). I'll fly out from Tokyo. I read that they can send glasses from Fukuoka -Tokyo (with a fee). I'd like to ask in advance but don't know if I can get approx answer via email. If anyone has done high prescription glasses or has had it delivered to another area I'd appreciate some feedback. Interested in multifocal as well

With the purchase of DL tickets via DL website you can redeem a free gift. I just wanted to know over the last few weeks, what have they offered? Thank you

Can anyone help with this?

I plan to leave Fukuoka and head to Osaka (2 nights) then onto Tokyo. Do I need to purchase separate shinkansen tickets from Fukuoka to Osaka and then Osaka to Tokyo? I read somewhere that it's possible to buy 1 way from Fukuoka to Tokyo - and allows Osaka stopover (and this way is slightly cheaper than getting separate tickets).
