I know a place was free and boy and girls naked share one pool. 

Want more info?    Berlanja me sushi first.
Btw, you study the rulez for onsen or not?  Alot rulez inside and proper way to onsen.

Most onsen u have to enter nekid. I only know 1 onsen theme park in Hakone that can wear swim trunks

Please study more on onsen rulez.  one of the rulez is towel never ever touch the onsen water. If you go into onsen you have to put towel on top of your head.

Any master can help me out?

Want to ask a noob question:

For travel to Japan free and easy and intend to go with tour agency for travel next year about June 2014, is it better to book through airasia now to get cheaper tickets and then get the ground package for Japan from tour agency

OR

better to buy the whole free and easy package from tour agency during MATTA fair?

Any other recommendation for cheap and easy travel to Tokyo for 4 or 5 days?

Arigato!

Lazy to do homework then just buy Apple Holiday Japan Tokyo tour package.
Japan local ground package are very expensive.  have to pay them by Yen.

Hi, anyone been to Gala Yuzawa ski before? nice or not? any idea?

Feb trip plan go there have ski

Gala Yuzawa Pass - 1 day pass 4,500 yen
Ski+boots or Board+boots set - 3,200yen

If you dunno ski, they won't allow you ski from top to bottom.

You have to take ski class.....1st timer have to take novice class.  have to pay for the class

In Tokyo now. This is my 2nd day in Japan... I find it quite suffering..

1. All their restaurant serve food without spoon. Only chopstick....
2. Those Japanese can hear me speaking Cantonese with my brother. But still keep speaking Japanese with us.
I don't understand it. I already tell them sorry I am not Japanese. Then order food by pointing at the picture on the menu. They still keep reply me in Japanese.. Why!!!!

3. I find that the people there are less friendly. They won't talk to foreigners. The only place that I find their people is a bit helpful is the JR station. Mayb bcoz I holder a green class JR pass?

Sifus please teach me how to integrate with them better or at least a easier way to get them help me.. I am finding this trip hard and very hard for me to enjoy and I still have 7 days to go

i wondering what do you expect when you are travelling to other countries. don't expect other cultures will be the same as malaysian

i don't see any problem with chopstick only. if you need to use spoon for miso soup then you are wrong. you need to grap a bowl of it to drink it. same as ramen soup

2. again, they are japanese and they are not obligated to learn English anyway. i just came back from Japan today and I went to BBQ  restaurant in SHinjuku and the waiter can't even speak 9pm in English but we roughly know what he trying to say and he thank got there is a clock near us and he just showed the time and ask us to wait

3. why would they speak to foreigner when they duno how to communicate with you?if you want them to speak with you, you can try the famous sushidai or daiwa sushi shop in tsukiji fish market. they will talk a little bit with you but prepare to wait few hours for the queue

i dono what kind of help you need but if you going there without a planned itinerary then a real good luck for you. i normally will put the popular venues into weekdays to avoid many crowds

personally, i find tokyo boring. i prefer kyoto or osaka. i also had one night ryokan in hakone which is the best. private session of ossen and good dinner and breakfast. good for a real leisure.

luckily there were 2 days of raining in my whole 2 weeks trip and today's rain is the heaviest and also my departure day

overall, the trip is good and also tiring. lots of walking and always get lost on the road coz the street name is confusing. the food is amazing and we just line up when we see the long queue. kinda adventure for me and my gf

I already have 7 days JR pass..just in Osaka. In Tokyo I will purchase 1/2/3 days tokyo metro pass or Common One-day Ticket for Tokyo Metro & Toei Subway

Osaka Unlimited Pass 1 day or 2 day
Rainbow Pass
Multiple Ride Card

Lalaca in Gora. Paid 28400 yen for 1 night for 2 person. Highly recommended

Hahaha, yes, I also only use Green Line and Monorail in Tokyo, all covered by JR Pass.

Tokyo Metro are Private Line.  JR rail Pass doesn't cover Tokyo Metro except JR Yamanote Line & JR Ginza Line only.

but some place u must use metro line to reach like Euno

because that weekend was a long weekend. I am happy with Lalaca but not sure of ichinoyu. When you include the price of dinner and breakfast then the price is kinda reasonable for me
I got a Suica card(similiar as Touch&Go) through NEX+Suica and covered 99% of my trip. I flew in Narita, not Haneda

anyone know that any promotion to Japan by MAS?
or any other airlines that is really cheap recently?

I suppose it means you missed the MAS Great Sale that ended a few weeks ago (MITTI) and last month (MATTA).

AirAsia promo can get 2 way ticket in RM1080.

Somemore buy 1 free 1.

RM1080 for 2 way and 2 pax.
MAS lose kaw kaw

MAS stewardess all fat aunty look and their attitude is f**king disappointment
my recent flight with them, their ugly face is alwayz black... make me wan to slap them
ohh they oni smile with jap ppl &&%$@(@(#
luckily they didnt tick me off, else i screw them like no tomoro

AA & Peach is ok, but they kind of too busy
ANA is the best, their 24*7 smiling face alwayz make ur day

Hi Guys,

Just bought my ticket from 15 May 14 to 25 May 14.

Initial Planning is Osaka -> Kyoto -> Tokyo -> Osaka(Flight)

Tokyo 4 days(Staying at friend house)

I want to ask since I'm 10 days travel only.

My planning was Osaka take normal train to Kyoto to play. Then on the remaining 7 days of my trip only active JR pass to travel other places.

My question is how much is just normal train ticket from Osaka to Kyoto?
