Lol. Since you are busy with work, i think I don't want to change too much of your schedule. Since you are going to Asakusa on 21th September(Friday), let's meet up there. Will check this forum as well.

See you soon.

Nice! Good to know.
I won't be driving to Nagano though. We won't be driving around in the city but we will be getting a car from Tokyo and driving back to the airport to drop it off.

I guess it's very easy to drive around the quieter towns. Any experience in driving on the highways?

Cool..will pm u later then.. :-)

Cool, i probably will go mcd or old town makan and surfing using free wifi
See ya

Work in KL lorr..in Tokyo holiday..:-P...anything I'll pm u

Any recommendation for accommodation in Toba or surrounding areas?
Almost all the hotels there are sold out for next January.

hi guys,

been searching for info regarding airport limousine bus to asakusa stn since will be staying in khaosan tokyo samurai. But seems like no bus after 11.30pm.

AA arriving at 1030pm on a Tuesday probably still got chance to catch the train. But in case of delay, then jialat already. Anyone know if there is a bus at that time?

also, from given info to apply visa, realize need 6k in savings account but if not reach, will the money in FD enough to justify? around 15k inside..salary only come in end of this month..hehe

thanks.

There are late night buses with extra charges for sure but limited destinations. I think some of teh late night destinations not mentioned but I think I saw few schedule by diff limousine bus companies there..

This was by the bus co I used.. limited late night buses:

Did you pre-book your tickets in advance?

No. just walk-in. Prebook only for Tobu express freepass to Nikko.

And for those going to Hakone (Mt Fuji view) prebook the Odakyu-Hakone freepass is a must too (Regretting din get the freepas and spending so much on the train fares)

stimix,u referring to the 5k yen pass rite? cant we juz head to the counter n buy 1? will sold out one?!

Pass will never sold out ....

Will never out of stock

Hey guys. Does anyone here know how to read Hyperdia's directions?

I've attached an example. This is how I read it: Take the Keikyu Airport Exp (which costs 400yen) to Shinagawa. From Shinagawa, take the JR Yokosuka Line to Tokyo, change train to JR Sobu Line to get to Bakurocho. The latter part costs 160 yen. Is this correct?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Yup


But it won't works if you taking Air Asia. It reach Haneda at 11.00 to 11.30pm.

Thanks, RegentCid! Yea, I'm gonna bum at the airport until the first train opens. Try to sleep maybe.

Also, to share to ppl of this website, http://www.mobilephonejp.com/. It's a mobile phone rental; one week costs 2900yen. Good for ppl who don't own a 3G phone, nor want the hassle to apply for one there.

My understanding is that you can receive local and international calls, and receive/send emails (Japanese folks sends emails rather than texts) for free. If you wanna call out domestic, you have to get the additional prepaid card (2600 yen). Could someone shed a light on whether my understanding is correct? As in, I can rent the phone without the prepaid card and still be able to send emails out, and receive calls for free?

Other mobile renting services: https://www.globaladvancedcomm.com/order/index.html. Can rent iphone and this android phone, but pretty pricey. Comes with unlimited internet and all the bells though.

My shortlisted place in Tokyo as follows:

1. (reach shinjuku in the afternoon)
Shinjuku
Harajuku
- Meiji Jingu Shrine & Yoyogi Park
Shibuya
[Stay around Shinjuku Station?]

2.
Sensoji Temple
- Nakamise Dori
Ueno Park
Akihabara
Ginza
Imperial Palace
- Imperial Palace East Garden (Kyoko Higashi Gyoen)
Tsukiji Market
Tokyo Tower (Nightview)
[Stay around Ginza/Ueno? for 2 days]

3.
Disney Resort
[same hotel before this]

4.
Sightsee Rainbow Bridge
Odaiba - Gundam

>> Evening time take Shinkansen train back to Osaka and overnight at airport.

So, does my suggestion look convenient? Please advice on where should I base in these days in Tokyo.

if reach Kansai airport at 10.30PM,domestic flight from Tokyo..should hv time to board on the train heading into town rite?

U can do that but pls be informed that the Odakyu free pass counter is located inside Odakyu Mall and that mall only open ~ 9am and not sure what time the counter open. By the time you walk in and buy the ticket and make your trip, you be arriving in the afternoon dy.. That time view of mt Fuji will be bad - mist & cloudy covering your view. For best view of mt Fuji, better go early in the Morning.

I decided just to use my stored PASMO card rather than waiting for the counter and kena ~ 6000+ yen for the whole return trip bcos I can't wait for the counter to open.. Best is to visit Shinjuku'as Odakyu mall and get the ticket a day earlier

Today China cancel all tourist to Japan. This will Major bring Japan economy into shit brix.

Japan product sales in China this month rop more than 50% ...and Japan major car brand sales also major drop in China.


Btw, My job now also tension starting getting high........Shitstorm is coming soon
