ruggachugga 0 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Funny how Japan can be so uptight and by the book about some things, but with other things. I suppose it depends on what "the book" says. Link to post Share on other sites
blueyonder 0 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Zeesh..been looking into car rental and it is rubbish..too expensive..Throw in penalties for dropping off at a different place,fuel,tolls ,extras like snow tyres and ski racks and it would be cheaper to buy a brand new Bently in Tokyo and dump it in the Narita carpark on the way home...Might consider hiring a car for short-term local trips in a couple of places..otherwise it is the train for us chappies.Are you allowed to shoot fireworks out of Shinkansen windows?..cheers..Dave Link to post Share on other sites

Sciclone 2 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Not meaning to take the mickey, but where can you buy fireworks from? (I've not seen them for sale). Would Donki have them? What's the Japanese term for them, so I can ask Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Convenience stores, home centers, pretty much anywhere! Link to post Share on other sites

Sciclone 2 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sweeet, thanks TB/@Tokyo. I'll be asking at Donki (don quixote) the night we get there as they have them listed on their site....Where I shall also be purchasing either brandy or scotch to take up to the snow...

charlotte 0 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I sometimes find it a bit alarming actually how easy it is to get fireworks here. Link to post Share on other sites
blueyonder 0 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any bad experiences Charlotte? Collateral damage is always regrettable,but owning the risk is part of the pleasure..cheers.Dave Link to post Share on other sites
