lipoting from Tsukiji market. Jilaka taxi driver dropped us off at the main entrance instead of the tourist entrance. anyway we power walked, reached at 4.20am, we were #50 of the 2nd group i.e. #110 in total of 120 pipu. saw so many ppl come late and get turned away by the guard....

Thanks. Would like to secure the Visa first prior to buying flight ticket (which will be lowered if book early).

buy ticket first then apply visa later. its only take 3 days to approve. very easy.. i had applied japan visa 2 times (last year trip and last month trip). no problem.

Part two of my trip report - covering the second main city Kyoto. Here we only spent 2 days and 2 nights. Full write-up and more photos at over at my blog link here otherwise just continue reading below biggrin.gif

Note on Kyoto is that public transport is predominantly bus only since the entire city only has 2 subway lines with pretty crappy coverage. Buses are quite crap too, those more popular journey we all cram like sardines icon_idea.gif
i hate to use bus in kyoto.. but i like when the driver said something when the bus starts to move. biggrin.gif
