Shinjuku-Kawaguchiko. Can use JR Limited Express on the Chuo Line from Shinjuku to Otsuki, where you need to transfer to the Fujikyu Line to Kawaguchiko -- but it's a private non-JR line, so cannot use JR Pass for this Otsuki-Kawaguchiko stretch. Transfer at Otsuki is fast, so if you are lucky, can make the journey in just 2:15hr.

QUOTE(PhungTM @ Aug 3 2013, 07:41 PM) If I were to reach at Osaka at 9am, is there any place to put our luggage? The hotel check-in is around 3pm right. I don't want to carry our big luggage here and there while sightseeing. Go to your hotel. You can check in early even if room not ready. Leave bags there, go away, come back at 3, collect key and enter room. No prob.

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Aug 5 2013, 12:00 PM) ... got one at Osaka near Namba Station. They also have in Busan, SKorea. So I can use my membership when I go Busan end of this month.  Btw in Japan, they are always located near train stations, so very handy, just walk to hotel from train. This post has been edited by mat sputnik: Aug 5 2013, 01:02 PM

QUOTE(dexnox @ Aug 7 2013, 10:54 AM) Hi, yes I know no more visa. I am asking if they will still ask you anything at the airport. Like in UK, visa free but still ask for a lot of documents and proof. Then assume you are at UK immig. Bring same docs lah. Senang.
