1) First Point are Limited Express from Namba Osaka to Nagoya no stop at Nagashima Station.  But it stop at Kuwana Station.  From Kuwana Station have to take Local train to Nagashima Station which one stop away from Kuwana Station.  using the limited express 2 times only....Namba to Kunawa back to Namba

2) Is Shin-Osaka Station not Osaka Station.  If you want to take JR kounotori Limited Express to Kinosaki Onsen Station. About People...You have to arrange what best suit u on that day.  Umeda & Namba Station are Key Station...Always Jam packed with people.

3)  Due to Seat Reservation problem.  You have to get down from Tsugara Station.  But there is one way to ask at Osaka JR ticket counter.  You tell them From Osaka to Tsugara will using Pass. I want to buy the ticket from Tsugara to Kanazawa.  Buy the ticket at Osaka instead buy at Tsugara Station.  If the ticket officer dunno any english then u are Fxxx

Thanks again

2)eh i meant osaka umeda JR station, Shin-osaka is 3 more station away right? any suggestion on transport namba - umeda? should i depart earlier before 7 am, because i heard osaka peak hour starts at 7 am?

Why make thing so complicated?    At Namba Station just take Midosuji Line (Subway) Line No1 Code M.  All the way to Shin-Osaka Station.  If alot people just wait until ur turn to get onboard.

Note: This line are Osaka Subway Line...not Cover by any JR pass.


This is the peak hour at Namba Station

Hi, i was reading about suica & nex combo and have some question. I want to go to bakurocho station from narita airport so i am thinking to buy one way comb - use the nex ticket to board narita express to tokyo station, the board jr yamanote line to bakurocho station. My understanding is we will use nex ticket first, and it can valid all the way till our final destination, include subway & jr line to stations in Greater Tokyo, provided we dont get through any gates. Is this right? So no need to use suica all the way to bakurocho? One more question is, i saw the map on where is considered as greater tokyo. I saw the map on their site, but didn't seemed to bea complete map, cause not all stations were labelled. Is bakurocho station include in the greater tokyo/jr east station category?

Sorry for the typo error cause i m using phone to type. I meant suica-nex combo package.

Thanks Regentcid. I will lookup other company website. For number 2, basically, there s no line that i can pass at tokyo station without going through gate? Bakurocho is served by 3 lines asakusa line, yamanote and shinjuku line.

I ask the question somewhere using bakuroyokoyama, but was corrected by other travellers saying i meant bakurocho. By the subway maps it seemed like these 2 are linked.

Hi all,
Care to comment on this Hokkaido 5nights itinerary via car rental ?

[/spoiler]

Not going Kushiro?  and Wakkanai?

Any route or idea that you can suggest off bro Regent? I have limited 5 nights that's why i tried to map my driving route to have the least optimal travelling time within cities. Definitely would love to cover Kushiro but kinda far apart. Any interesting part at Wakkanai beside the Resin & rebun island? I was thinking too, should i give a miss to monbetsu, since I am also visiting Mt Fuji shibazakura, since it's almost the same as Takinoue Moss Pink park. What's your comment on this bro Regent?

Going Hokakido no visit Otaru = no go Hokkaido.

Other placed depend on you...because each placed got it own special.

Serious one are Otaru is MUST.
