We had our Japan Visa processed by Discovery Tours last year. I am perfectly satisfied by their service. First off, among the other accredited travel agencies, they charge the least expensive for the single entry visa - only 750 compared to 1500 and up from others. They were also very patient with all kinds of questions over the phone. Plus, when you go there the service is quick!

This travel agency is the cheapest of them all. We got our Japanese visa for only 3 days without hassles. They also give freebees to their clients for free.

For anyone who intends to travel to Japan as a tourist, the first thing you need to know is that you cannot go straight to the embassy to file your visa application. They require you to go through a travel agency to do the filing for you. This is actually not a bad idea - first off, it lessens the leg work required to get all your documents. A single trip to a travel agency can already help you understand what you need to submit, so no need to go back and forth. When I did my research on this, the Japanese embassy in the Philippines had a list of accredited providers. I did inquire with several of them and chose to go with Discovery Tours. First, they were the most accessible being along Dela Costa Street in Makati. Second, they were the most exhaustive when discussing the visa requirements. Third, their website provided all that you needed to know about the requirements and the application process, even the time it would take to finish everything. Finally, despite being able to provide all the necessary services, they are also priced the lowest for the processing fee. They charge P800 per person (others charge between P1200 and P2500 per person)if you are applying for a tourist visa via walk-in. If you want your visa application to be done through courier pick up, they can arrange it, too. If you are going as a group of 3 or more, they even give you a discount. We did the walk-in application and got our visas in less than a week. During pick up, the Japanese owner even talked to us. He was so friendly and had a lot to share about our intended destination (Tokyo). If I go back to Japan, I would definitely use their services again. BTW, they are also able to make tour arrangements for you if you need help with that.

9 Things To Do In Makati From Free To Luxurious To Explore Different Sides Of The CBD

Things to do in Makati

Often, we think of Makati as a bustling place for corporate offices. But there’s much more to explore in this city, including its vibrant artistic and culinary scene.

Whether you’re a tourist, expat, or local seeking weekend adventures, we’ve compiled a list of things to do in Makati that cater to all budgets, from free experiences to indulgent luxuries.

1. Take a stroll at one of the many parks in the city.

There are little pockets of greenery in the central business district (CBD) where you can go for a run, take your pet on a walk, or simply sit down and breathe fresh air.

Admire art installations at Washington Sycip Park . If you have kids, take them to Jaime C. Velasquez Park to frolic in its public playground.

You can also catch the lights and sounds show, Festival of Lights , at Ayala Triangle Gardens every December.

Washington Sycip Park Address: Legazpi Street, Legaspi Village

Jaime C. Velasquez Park Address: Velasquez Street, Salcedo Village, Barangay Bel-Air

Ayala Triangle Gardens Address: Paseo De Roxas Street corner Makati Avenue corner Ayala Avenue Contact: 0932 403 3279 | Facebook

3. Relieve stress at New Lasema Spa.

Experience a unique way to relax at New Lasema Spa , a jjimjilbang or Korean sauna.

Beyond indulging in a warm soak in their jacuzzi, you can explore various kilns, including a hot salt enclosure that works wonders in melting away stress. If you’re in need of an expert touch to ease those knots, they offer massage services as well.

Just like what we often see in K-drama, this jjimjilbang also has an entertainment area. Here, you can enjoy classic Korean sauna food such as ramyeon , grilled egg, and sikhye , a sweet Korean fermented rice drink with cooked rice grains.

“It feels like home! Truly a service with a heart .. Keep it up!”

Shan D., Tripadvisor

“Stayed at the Discovery Primea Makati for two nights in May in their Two Bedroom Primea Suite. This is truly an above and beyond hotel which after its soft launch I would be surprised doesn’t get fully booked straight away! Will now always make the Discovery Primea my hotel choice in Manila. Will be back next year!”

Matthew B., Tripadvisor

“I have stayed at many hotels in the City and have by far enjoyed this stay the most. From the moment I arrived I was greeted by warm and friendly staff who were very accommodating. The stand out for me is the apartment style facilities. A home away from home. Spacious rooms and modern appliances with a vast array of Chef inspired menu options. Will be back soon.”

Stephen W., Tripadvisor

“A truly exceptional hotel. Very friendly and accomodating personnel, luscious food to die for, exceptional facilities with an exceptional view of BGC, Makati and Ortigas Skyline, and top notch accessibility. We’ll be back for sure.”

Rivzkaydet, Tripadvisor

Great ambiance, service and food. From the lobby to our room, the experience was beyond words could describe. Kudos especially to housekeeping for the upkeep of the room. I would definitely recommend this hotel chain to my family and friends.
