my iti ada mention how we went to osaka castle

btw a word of warning the castle itself has been rebuilt 3rd time so not exactly look like ori, more towards historical buff will want to see the scrolls and letter exchanges, and not so much displaying towards the actual ancient building.

Most of the ancient palaces around the world also been rebuilt many times including those famous palaces & monuments in China including Great walls

what are the choices i hv if i need to catch a flight from Narita airport 6am in the morning? can i overnite before the nite? but i read from its website passengers are not allow to be in the passenger terminal after 11pm.. headache lah like that..

u know whats worse?
The ferry ride yesterday in the open sea when nearing Hakata-Fukuoka from Busan...
i was like.... da fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu （；ﾟ Дﾟ）

Seems like most places are hit by heavy rain last night eh? Me need to wait for my shoes to dry. Have to find another sandals or shoes to walk around

Added on October 18, 2012, 10:16 amIinm, u can overnite at the airport. Police will come and gather all of passengers to the first floor so that all are safe together.

Just catch the train / bus to narita the night before will do.

Now here got so many Otai give info. Looks like i going bungkus kedai soon.

No more value ....gg

You wanna fee for info mah so other willing forumers gave free flow info lor

+9999

hahha..agree with u bro! this is forum..so no need to be stingy with ur information..if i have a lot of japan info,it will be my pleasure to help others..

Love you guys for the great (free) info!

Will return the favour when I get back from Japan

But first a few questions!

1. I'm planning to go to TDL and Sea. Will I be able to finish seeing/riding everything in 2 days? Going to purchase multipass, should I buy online or buy when I get there? Will it be cheaper there? Is it a good idea to stay at a hotel nearby Disney? Already exchanged 20,000yen at 0.039..hehe

2. So i came across this unlimited rail pass that goes for about RM1,100 per person. How much does a regular ticket to and fro the airport cost?

Does the train operate after 12am?

Is this the only place I can buy the japan rail pass?
http://www.japan-rail-pass.com/
Any other cheaper place I can buy?

Seems like a no brainer to pay for courier service to Malaysia, eventhough I need it only when I'm in Japan.

This Japan trip is getting more and more expensive (the more I find out)
Total costs so far:
Return Tickets: RM1250
Disney L&sea: RM400
Food: ????
Shopping: ????
Lodging: ????

what else did i miss...

1. You can get both tickets from Lawson's from the ticket machine. If dunno how to operate, please ask the workers there. They'll help you. Last i got the tix for both places at 10,000 yen, which has a small discount.

2. Please check Jorudan's website or hyperdia website for the price.

Also, didn't you read what menmissed has posted above? Please read the thread carefully before asking questions.

Here you go:

IMO, Food wise - same price as japanese food in malaysia. It's NOT expensive.

Lodging - can find cheap one, GOOGLE.

Shopping - Their premium outlet is so cheap compared to our 50% discounts of american goods like Gap, Banana Republic and what not.

Stop whining about how expensive Japan is. If yes, please dun go yea.

Altho i'm a kiam siap person - altho not as kiam siap as Stimix (LOL), I don't feel Japan is expensive, it's comparable to Europe.

If expensive - I think Switzerland is expensive. Breakfast for RM200....

Lacersan, i dun think u want to buy the rail pass unless u travel to a place far away and require bullet train to travel, then u use rail pass.

i'm still wondering how stimix can go there so cheap only.......

Coz he always manage to find super cheap food (like 200yen or 300 yen is it? Forgot) and also he didn't actually enter disneyland....... just take pictures outside. Not sure if he did enter 1 or 2 paid attractions or not.....

Feel like a forum newbie for not reading the above post!
Called up the office in Penang, price is good leh.
Food price is a relief! Thanks wei!
Lodging: Been reading heterosapien's review on the rates.
Yes, should stop whining!! That comment actually put a smile on my face.


I'll be there for 9 days, is that a good enough reason to buy the rail pass? Otherwise, I don't mind taking the bus or taxi for shorter routes.
My plans are Tokyo--->Osaka----> Hokkaido then back to Tokyo.

oh, if is like that then rail pass is worth it. hmm, how come tokyo -> osaka -> hokkaido-> tokyo?

hokkaido is at north right? shouldn't it be osaka->tokyo->hoikkado->tokyo?
