Hi All,

I am going to Japan coming February 16 to 23, 2012... thanks to AA cheap flight..

It should be winter still right? What would the temperature be like?

I will be arriving Haneda at 10.30pm... below is my ROUGH itinerary, can someone share some opinions on this??

16th - Arrival at Haneda - overnight somewhere? roam around the street.... zombie~
17th - Take the earliest bus/train to Osaka, overnight
18th - Take the earlier train to Kyoto
19th - Kyoto
20th - Earliest bus/train to Tokyo
21st - Tokyo
22nd - Tokyo
23rd - Departure sad.gif

Total 1 night in Osaka, 2 nights in Kyoto, 3 nights in Tokyo...

any recommendation on BUDJET accomodation for 2 pax? ><"

also, what is the most convenient mode of transportation? I would assume its the bullet train but boy, they cost a BOMB!

Actually, just 3 nights in Tokyo - would be very rush coz there are alot of sites to visit.

Yup, the JR Shinkansen is expensive but if you actually go all around and make full use of it, it's not that costly.

Bus would take you HOURS. Since the 17th you would want to go to Osaka dy, why not check out the overnight bus from Tokyo to Osaka? At least u have a place to sleep whilst on the way there. Coz if not mistaken, take bus about 9hrs leh (if not mistaken). Wasted dy since your schedule is so packed.

Are you not going to Disneyland/Disneysea or Sanrio Puroland? You won't regret it.

I actually was in Tokyo for 8 nights the 1st time round, I make full use of my time and actually went EVERYWHERE in tokyo that's worth to visit. 2nd time round, I just hang out and shop and meet friends and I did not once regret the packed schedule that I have when i went there the 1st time.

hmm... i was thinking getting a general overview of how japan is like, not really covering every corner of Japan.. how much did you spend during your first time? I just checked the exchange rate and its freaking rm4 for 100 yen! T_T

and yea, mind to share your itinerary?

how bout the accomodation? Its what worries me the most... sweat.gif

Thanks!

Thank you kookaaq and twincharger07,

yes, its my only chance to go to Japan as their expenses is so high!!

I'd consider taking the ground tour... i have researched the budget accomodation like B&B and Guesthouses, the price is killing me!

Thank you so much for your info and advices.. maybe consider just kyoto and tokyo... :|

Hi all,

Anyone have experience in Shirakawa-go? Is there any bus/transportation that goes to Kanazawa from Shirakawa-go at night at about 6pm after the Winter Shirakawa-go Light-Up? I have did research on all available english websites but can only find transportation to Takayama...

Really appreciate if anyone got japanese information....
