look for Mr goggle lah!! I booked with Kimi Ryokan but not really cheap. Maybe you can try Khaosan Kyoto & Tokyo. In Tokyo, they have several Khaosan at different location.

I quickly change my money even though my trip is in October knowing that the rates will go up very soon. BTW, where is your location? I change my money in Bkt Bintang.

Which date of Oct?? Mine is from 18/10/13-31/10/13. I purchase the ticket during promo. KUL/Tokyo/Osaka/KUL for RM1300. My trip include 6 nites in Tokyo, 2 nites in Hiroshima, 2 nites in Kyoto & 2 nites in Osaka. Return to KUL via Osaka.

I see. I don't join tour. Me and hubby go by ourselves. So excited thinking of travelling by Shinkansen @ Bullet train.

You too. BTW, I wrote wrongly. My ticket is KUL to Tokyo then Osaka to KUL.

Whatlah your question about the bus. This is Japan ok!! not Malaysia. Definitely the buses, trains & public transportation are way efficient than Malaysia. You should know already.

Aiyoh!! pls do more homework before you ask. JR Pass cannot be purchase in Japan because it is solely for tourist. Even Japanese living in Japan are not entitle for JR Pass. They have different type of pass & u must know which one suit your trip. You must buy in the country where you residing. Buy from their appointed agency. In Malaysia so many agent selling JR Pass. You can get it from Japan Travel Bureau. They have office in KL and Penang.

7 days Japan Rail Pass for the whole Japan is JPY28,300. 1 Day JR West Rail Pass for Kansai area is JPY2000. 5 days JR East Rail Pass is JPY20,000. So you must know how many days you will be staying in Japan & which area.

Hikari are the 2nd fastest train after Nozomi. The difference between Hikari & Kodama are the Hikari are faster than Kodama & also less stop whereas Kodama got several stop along the way.

Not follow sifu lah!! I always do research before I post anything. Any information that I cannot find or ask for opinion only I post it here.

How many days is your trip?? What is your plan in Tokyo? You can use JR Pass to Hakone too. So if you want to buy the 7 days pass, make sure you must full utilize it while you are in Tokyo or Osaka other wise it will be a waste. Myself, I have Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka & day trip to Nagoya so it is worth to buy 7 days pass.

Bus & ferries too as long as under JR. From your programme, your JR pass worth to buy.

If I am not mistaken Tokyo have more JR bus. But I haven't finish my research yet. I'm still compiling on transporation in Hiroshima, Kyoto & Osaka in the city bus. I think in Kyoto they prefer to use tram & bus but not sure if is JR bus or not.

Regentcid is the sifu. I have not been to Japan. My trip is on October

I have to agree. Some questions I find it really annoying

I see. Can I confirm with you about the ferry to Miyajima?? I read that they are ferries to Miyajima cover by JR. If is true, I want to use it because mine is 7 days pass. Would like to utilize it.

Why you got panic for no reason. Calm down.

Money changerlah brader!!
