If I want to travel within Osaka, (shin osaka, Umeda, Minami, dotonbori, Kita. etc), which train do you suggest and is there a week pass for that?
According to hyperdia, each ride at least 350 - 600 Yen, and if I want to commute within osaka, station to station, that would cost me a bomb. I will be staying somewhere in Fukushima . Edit: JR Line is good, yes? This post has been edited by sunakujiro^^: Sep 20 2012, 11:38 PM |

QUOTE(e-jump @ Sep 21 2012, 06:11 AM) Fukushima as in Sendai Fukushima? Ah not Sendai Fukushima, exact address is Fukushima 7-chome, Fukushima-ku, Osaka-City.Then its the 7day JR-pass what u wanna get(28300yen) as it covers the Shinkansen from Tohoku to Kansai and local Kansai JR. It however does not cover osaka subways. But you can get to most part of osaka via JR lines So like you're saying, if I want to commute within Osaka/Shin Osaka - JR lines is the best choice , yes? Do you think I should be getting a -day pass as well? thats aabout 2,000 Yen if im not mistaken. Added on September 21, 2012, 5:29 pm QUOTE(hot-choc @ Sep 21 2012, 02:45 PM) Just got my Japan visa!

QUOTE(e-jump @ Sep 21 2012, 09:23 PM) Oh.. Thanks for the feedback. Since I will be staying at same hostel, I will give JR-west pass a try. If Kansai internally. it depends on how much and how far you go. If you are the type who likes to go lots of places but stay at same hotel/hostel, Surutto or the JR-west pass is a bargain. Osaka is near to Nara, Kyoto, so theres no need to ride the shinkansen. JR local trains would suffice. use hyperdia just to estimate ur daily train budget I will be arriving in Fukuoka on Oct17 from Busan, n i havent submit my visa application yet LOL. im doomed  (im only at 20% planning)   Also I find Hyperdia is quite handy! thanks for the tips!Now back to VISA application form, I need some advice on the following items Guarantor or reference in Japan(Please provide details of the guarantor or the person to be visited in Japan) Inviter in Japan(Please write 'same as above' if the inviting person and the guarantor are the same) As I will be travelling solo (holiday), not quite sure whose name I should put there. Added on September 24, 2012, 10:30 pmAhh.. B. HOLIDAY AND TRANSIT *The column of guarantor/inviter is not required to fill in. This post has been edited by sunakujiro^^: Sep 24 2012, 10:30 PM |

Can you advise the weather/temperature in Osaka this month?
Would it suffice to just wear jeans and long sleeve. I dont want to overdressed and make myself look like an idiot with all winter clothing. |
