Guys,
I'm planning my honeymoon next year April (hehe). Planning to start at Osaka and work my way East and finish in Tokyo. Trip should be about 7-8 days. Generally speaking, it would make more sense for me to fly directly into Osaka, and fly back from Tokyo, right? Seeing as shinkansen tickets itself already rm500 if I were to do a return-trip ticket to either location. |

QUOTE(Chrisky @ Oct 5 2012, 06:03 PM) can consider visit the charming and beautiful village of Kibune and Kurama, and relax at the Kurama Onsen  After googl'ing, that's a pretty good idea! Not too sure if I have the time though cos only allocated like 2n in Kyoto. Maybe extend to 3n and cut off Tokyo since I spent my entire last trip to Japan in Tokyo ...  |

QUOTE(stimix @ Oct 7 2012, 08:56 AM) In Tokyo, I can eat a bowl of this yummy rice for only ~ 380yen or ~ RM15/bowl In Malaysia it will be premium price liao. Japan cheap food come here that time suddenly become premium product one. Like ramen, I go everywhere eat at 600yen, then come to SG/KL suddenly ramen become premium stuff priced at sgd15++ (1000++ yen). |

any of you go kyoto before and eat dinner @ the ryokan? wondering if it's worth it cos the better value ryokan's all don't serve dinner one, so ... dunno if i should go for a more expensive ryokan just to have the experience of having kyoryori served in the room (or whether to just go for the cheaper ryokans and eat outside).
Added on October 7, 2012, 2:25 pm QUOTE(stimix @ Oct 7 2012, 01:10 PM) In KL, The above avg Ramen priced ~ RM20++ or ~ 500-700 yen only. And less known Japanese restaurants/ Food court stalls ~ RM9.90 to RM15 only (250-380yen).. i.e ~ those Tokyo budget restaurant chains  I'm expecting Sukiya Taipan USJ priced similarly to their Tokyo restaurants but 500-700 yen is like super ultra cheap stuff in tokyo liao. whereas rm20++ in KL is considered premium pricing liao (comparing to chap fan rm3, pork noodle rm3-5, etc).

QUOTE(illegaldragon87 @ Oct 9 2012, 04:47 PM) wow... for 1 nite?? i din know ryokan is so exp... 13.6k yen/night is considered already almost at the budget level for ryokan, the price levels are amazingly high (I too was surprised). Give you one example http://www.hiiragiya.co.jp/en/info/ ... Room Rates: Main Building 32,000 to 90,000 yen New Wing 38,000 to 60,000 yen Rates are per person per night, based on double occupancy but include breakfast and dinner lah QUOTE(menmissed @ Oct 9 2012, 04:58 PM) There is 1 closer to kyoto station, Capsule Ryokan. they do have ensuite room for 2, 3,990yen/pax only. Its sister hotel, Backpackers' Budget Inn, next to capsule ryokan, also offer ensuites room for upto 5 pax, 3,990yen/pax as well. Well, since this is going to be my honeymoon so can't be THAT budget lol. Plus ryokan shimizu is ranked #2 on TripAdvisor so I hope it won't be a disappointment lol. |

QUOTE(eric84cool @ Nov 5 2012, 04:36 PM) guys, for those recently went to Tokyo for trip or those resides at Tokyo, I would like to verify on radiation level in Japan as my colleague frens, both couples whom went at different times did expose to radiation and advised to abort the baby and avoid pregnancy in 10 years... Based on this logic, tons of people residing in tokyo will have to abort their babies? And next 10 years there will be no more children born there? I am extremely skeptical of your "colleague's friends." Sounds remarkably like those kind of pipu who hear a rumour and then add spice when passing on the rumour saying "oh my friend kena" padahal it is actually just a rumour. |
