You want to give advice, fine. But there's no need to be sarcastic and all. You know how the phrase goes. If you have nothing nice to say, shut your mouth.

On another note, you are not the only person I can refer for Japan trip.

Better than nothing because the Toyota website does not contain any contact to book a place.

Are you sure? Because in the Star it said the deadline was 15th July.

Hi All,

I will be traveling to Osaka in Nov 13 for 6 days 5 nights. My budget is small and only plan to visit places around Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and perhaps Kobe. Have browsed through japan-guide.com. Thinking of buying JR west rail pass (Kansai area pass) as it is more affordable. But the pass valid for 4 days only. Any suggestions?

Besides, if I were to travel from Kansai airport to Osaka by train, any place to store the luggage?

Thanks.

Go hokkaido shud buy Shiroi Koibito. Anyway, green tea kit kat i last saw at airport. U can try find there

It looks perfect but the only problem, I have already book my entire stay in Tokyo

where u book your hotel, can check the conditions whether got free cancellation or not.
u split 2 days to & fro hakone & kawaguchiko really wasting time.

Yeah, I was considering that too. I haven't paid anything yet to Kimi Ryokan. They have confirmed my booking but cash payment is upon arrival. Maybe they still hope. Tks a lot!!

aiya, own business ryokan sure have la. u no need to cancelled all ma. cancel 2 days enough lo.
fyi, hakone & kawaguchiko u need 2 days, best is u have 1 night each. on the third day morning travel back to tokyo lo. Advice u to travel light, if u stay kimi ryokan b4 that, u can store ur luggage there, then return to stay at their ryokan again. (if you really return & stay la)

I'll be arriving Tokyo first on 19/10/13 so shouldn't be a problem. I just bring 1 small hand carry for overnite. I can' stay 2 nites in Hakone & Kawaguchiko coz Monday I want to visit Toyota Plant in Nagoya. But I am very happy already if I can visit both Mt Fuji & Hakone for 2 days 1 nite.

oh, okay, its gonna be rush. hakone first and overnight, then next day move to kawaguchiko lo. spend ur day until evening, pls make sure you catch the last bus back to shinjuku, else, train.

Yeah, it is going to be rush. I will use my JR Pass so that I can take the fast train back to Tokyo instead of bus. Tks a lot for your recommendation & help!!

Well, let u know first, bus may faster than train from kawaguchiko to shinjuku. depend on your depart time. if u go for JR train covered by JR pass, u hav to change 2 lines, unless u willing to pay for ltd xpress.

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.

Excuse me for this silly question , how is the radiation situation in Tokyo ? The water contamination at Fukushima (which is only 250km from Tokyo) , will cause any impact on the fish that we consume there ?
