Baka Gaijin Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Good Afternoon Gentlemen, I just spotted a notification on both Nihonto.com & Ricecracker.com announcing 2014 Dai Token Ichi dates: November 1,2,3 2014 Which is a Saturday Sunday & Monday, is this correct? Cheers Quote
paulb Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 hope so thats when My flights are booked for Quote
Brian Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 That would be odd. It is almost always a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Maybe they meant 31st, 1st and 2nd? Would be good if someone could try and clarify. Although less than 5% chance of making it, I would love to try. Brian Quote
Jean Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Monday is holiday, they expect a lot of visitors reason of the shift Quote
tony edmunds Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for the heads up Malcolm,I hope to make it this year (missed 2013 due to work). Is it just me or is this an unusually early notice of the DTI dates ? Tony Quote
paulb Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 I just contacted Fred at Nihonto.com before Jean posted an answer. He confirmed the dates and Jean's comment regarding holidays on Monday. So 1-3 November it is regards Paul Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 Again thank you Paul, Fred, Jean & Brian for the clarification. Let's try to make it NMB at DTI!! Cheers Quote
Guido Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 A confirmation straight from the horse's mouth: 平成 26 年 11 月 1 日 (土) ・2 日 (日) ・3 日 (月). As already mentioned, November 3'rd is a Japanese national holiday - Culture Day, no less :D. Quote
Veli Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Finnair offered a non-stop flight Helsinki-Tokyo and Tokyo-Helsinki for 599€, so I booked my flights. See you at DTI! Veli Quote
takakage Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 599 Euros, is very cheap. I'm wonder if it is possible to put some food and wines in a suitcase ? Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Posted June 16, 2014 Morning all., Here's an excerpt from The Japanese Consulate guide: Taking Plants and Food Products into Japan Fresh Products Plants and Plant products are subject to plant quarantine to prevent a possible invasion of pests which may inhabit these plants. It is stipulated by Japanese law that a phytosanitary certificate issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture be attached to the plants.
