Right, fast pass is the licence to cut queue, i was in Disneysea 2 days back, and manage to ride almost all popular rides!  icon_rolleyes.gif

The most popular one is Toy Story Mania, which i queued for 90 minutes, but it was all totally worth it!  rclxms.gif

Missed Toy Story. Fast pass finished! And the queue was too long

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

Yes, have to compare with the official hotel website. Sometimes different website (agoda, hotels.com, booking.com) can have different rate for same hotel hmm.gif

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.

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

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.  thumbup.gif  But, now facing transportation problem.  sweat.gif
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 thumbup.gif

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.  sweat.gif

Hope u arrive at the correct timing for sakura next year. This year it came early rclxub.gif

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! thumbup.gif

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.html
International 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 tongue.gif tongue.gif

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 ?
