QUOTE(Demitri @ May 17 2013, 10:33 AM) Right, fast pass is the licence to cut queue, i was in Disneysea 2 days back, and manage to ride almost all popular rides! The most popular one is Toy Story Mania, which i queued for 90 minutes, but it was all totally worth it!  Missed Toy Story. Fast pass finished! And the queue was too long

QUOTE(Demitri @ May 17 2013, 10:55 AM) Tower of terror i use FP, exciting but the ride is like too short, feel like 2 minutes only Yup, too short to justify the long queue. But maybe it's Disney, the rides cannot be too frightening. Rides at Universal Studios are more exciting

QUOTE(PhungTM @ May 20 2013, 12:09 PM) Is it to-fro? Is that very expensive? I'm planning to go next year March. Yes. To-fro. U can check AirAsia website. Another risk is the timing when the flowers bloom. This year sakura came earlier than expected.

QUOTE(gpk6558 @ May 29 2013, 09:07 AM) Thanks for the information. If my plan is to visit around Kansai area only (likely to go around Osaka, Kyoto and Nara), is it advisable to stay in one hotel in Osaka only? To travel around the areas mentioned, what would be the best transport mode? Train or Bus? If it is train, can I or should I book now online? Roughly what would be the cost as we are on tight budget. Osaka expensive. U should stay in Kyoto cheaper. Can buy 1-day bus pass in Kyoto at the bus terminal outside Kyoto station

QUOTE(menmissed @ May 30 2013, 11:27 AM) i see. my plan is next year cherry blossom. still duno where to go. Been to osaka, nara, kyoto, hakone & tokyo last year autumn. now im planning 10 days trip, dunno how to cover. lake kawaguchiko is always in my list.  But, now facing transportation problem. fly in NRT, from tokyo to kawaguchiko, from kawa to nagoya is hard, then to kyoto, fly out KIX. Then u should go far north until Hokkaido or far south until Kyushu

QUOTE(menmissed @ May 30 2013, 02:33 PM) Actually my initial plan is included Matsumoto, Takayama, Shirakawago and Kamikochi, after that i find out the travelling cost for these area is expensive, and limited train. This time i go to see sakura, different spot from autumn trip. Planning to cover Tokyo, kawaguchi, nagoya, kyoto, osaka, yoshino, kobe,... kansai area. I also wish to go Hiroshima & Miyajima. too far and must arm JR pass only worth for the trip.  Hope u arrive at the correct timing for sakura next year. This year it came early

QUOTE(menmissed @ Jun 2 2013, 10:59 PM) At Shinjuku station, at West Exit. 5,000 yen for 2 day pass. Yes, of course it's open. Hakone in winter is damn nice! My last visit although is late autumn/begin of winter (1 Dec), it snowing, what a best scene!  Winter at Hakone  can see Mt Fuji with white top

QUOTE(geek8585 @ Jun 4 2013, 08:15 AM) hi bro, thanks for yr reply.. i see the 1st page but dont find any... somehow i did googled and found www.japan-wireless.com i do prefer to pay and pick up the wifi device on the spot... if pay online and ask them send to japan might be a lil bit hassle... is it possible have an option exactly like whats inside my mind? after researc again, i think furano can't escape d... hv to follow tours since i dont hv international license... Try this http://www.globaladvancedcomm.com/pocketwifi.htmlInternational driving license can easily kautim. Just go JPJ and pay money to get it. But driving there could be troublesome as the GPS is in Japanese. Not to mention toll booth operator also. Might get sesat there This post has been edited by estcin: Jun 4 2013, 10:05 AM

QUOTE(Cyclone1 @ Jun 4 2013, 10:57 PM) Sifu, is Hakone really that nice during late nov thru early Dec? I will be around Mt Fuji at that time and may consider to do a one day trip there. Any recommended itinerary ? Get Hakone Free Pass
