Hello Everyone,

I'm going for Tokyo trip in this November. Can anyone please advise on my itinerary? Appreciate your help, Thank you smile.gif

Day 1 - Ikebukuro, Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Tokyo Tower
Day 2 - Disneyland
Day 3 - Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku
Day 4 - Doraemon Museum (If able to purchase ticket) & Yokohama
Day 5 - Asakusa, Sensoji Temple, Ueno Park, Akihabara
Day 6 - Odaiba
Day 7 - Roppongi Hills & heading back to KL
*
Doraemon Museum has to be purchase on 30th of each month.. and the tickets are for 2 months later..

do you need 1 day for Odaiba? You can actually spend 1 day outskirt in Kamakura... its autumn, outdoor and outskirts are great..

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!

Get accomodation near to stations..

Hotel - www.booking.com
Hostel - www.hostelworld.com
good deals - japanican.com

if you fancy staying capsule, try 9hour.jp

Yes, shinkansen is crazy expensive.. Tokyo to Osaka/Kyoto cost about 13k Yen (~RM500) 1 way.. If you want to save abit, take the Unreserve seats which are usually car number 1 - 3..

I would say shinkansen is the best way, no ground transport faster than 200km/h.. however, there are night bus which u get onboard at night and arrive early in the morning.. but that could be tiring.. http://willerexpress.com/bus/pc/3/top/

Have a nice trip..

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... :|

yup.. with limited time, Osaka will just like "touch and go" ...
just go for 2 places, Kyoto and Tokyo are good choice...

Tips for moving around kyoto, bus is a better choice than JR and subway.. get a 500yen 1 day pass for unlimited bus ride (winthin kyoto city).. this is the best value for $$ transportation in Japan... http://www.kyotoguide.com/ver2/useful/useful-trans.htm

Where as in tokyo, JR and subway are more convinient...
