Damn worried about this.
My flight is supposed to reach around 11pm, if delayed like hot-choc die la.

What's the most economical mode of transport to tokyo downtown? Should I get a van of some sort? Does airasia provide such services?

I think I have to factor in the possibility of flight delay causing me to arrive when train and bus all out of service already.

Just came back last week, 4 of us did book a ride from Tokyo Airporter website.
Single journey cost us 8,400 yen from Haneda to Shinjuku. Worry free... and choice to pay on the spot.

I did google it before hand...
Yeah, when you book it... you have a choice to pay there or cc in advance.

My flight were delayed, almost 12am reaching Haneda... took our on sweet time studying the toilet (lol), immigration... etc. Once out, saw a handsome japanese holding my name... no question ask.

As everyone said, japan customers service were no.1.

Just got back from my week at Tokyo. Had a really nice time. Weather was great (only 1 day rained) and the food was so good!

My flight was delayed 2 hours, no thanks to AAX. When i reached and got out was already 12.45am. Only choice was taxi. 8800 yen including toll, to Shinjuku.

Went around Tokyo including Disneyland (Halloween theme and everyone was dressed up), Odaiba (Tokyo Joypolis was fun!) & Hakone.
Was lucky to see Fuji a few times.

Yodobashi at Akihabara really has great prices on models and figurines. Even the shops around there or Nakano Broadway arent's so cheap.

Hope to go again soon!

Hi there, do you bought Disneyland's ticket online or at the counter? Is there any limitation on how many people per day that can went in?

Thanks

Just check the link I put up on page 1 on midnite bus & taxi rate. Usually almost doubled the daytime rate. So if normal rate bus = 900yen/pax, expect 1800yen andfor taxi.. ~8000yen/taxi

You have any extra to sell? sad.gif

Sorry, no extra boxes. It's slightly cheaper in airport.

QUOTE(menmissed @ Nov 1 2012, 12:45 PM)
mind to share how much is your gundam?
just want to know how cheap over there.

My gundam 1/100 model is about 1650 yen.
Different models different price. And sometimes got sales.
Msia gundam prices seems to be increasing. Last time can get for RM120-140, now it's RM200++
Go survey your models first.

I bought my Disney tickets from Disney Store at Takashimaya Shinjuku. Very easy and just go into Disney when u reach, no need to queue.
If you buy online, u need to get your tickets when u reach Disney at the Ticket Center. And u need to buy 7 days in advance.

Not sure if tickets will run out, but you probably should avoid public/school holidays there. Even on weekdays there are many ppl already. Check this unofficial website to see the predictions.

Thanks for the details... when you fly into Osaka, you arrive at Kansai International Airport, right ?
That's what we are concern with.

Nop..you are not fly into Osaka..You fly into Kansai Regional. From Kansai Regional you take taxi / Bus / Train into Osaka City.

if you say you fly into Osaka City ...you must landed on Itami AIrport only count you fly into Osaka. Not Kansai Airport.

From Tokyo to Kyoto by Shinkanshen right? You already got JR rail pass.....it included all JR company thing already . So all you need is another Kansai through pass only for those non jr
company train .

Hehe, if you move from tokyo. You will reach Kyoto first then only Osaka.

For those going Japan within this month ( November) please take note:

North of Japan (Hokkaido, Amouri, Akita) start snowing.

Cool icing breezing winds are blow from north west into Tokyo City.

Wind speed are 8km ( not strong) but very icing cool!!!

My personal suggest , please bring ur winter coat.


Ok....that for now.

Free tips to all.

Bye

Reporting live from Haneda airport. Killing time to wait for the first train to commence operation. It is quite cold here. Around 14C with mild wind. Just bought Tokyo Banana to try from Lawson Mart.. Not bad. The Asahi beer goes with them.
