i tend to agree with RegentCid unless you really enjoy such stuffs. I think your Kyoto trip is bare, Day 2 and day 6 can be combined. So you will have extra day for either Kyoto, Nara or Kobe. Maybe you are not a cultural/heritage/scenery kind of traveler?

Ok...
did a quick check on both Nara and Kobe. Kobe seems like a big city, but dun really see much attractions wo. Seems like Kawasaki world and a few mountains. Did i miss anything?

Probably i will make
Day 5- Morning - Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and Isuien Garden
Afternoon Tempozan area ( aquarium, muzium, ferris wheel)

Thanks...I did my homework but pretty confused with certain things...the mode of transport between and with osaka and kyoto....is it cheaper to us icoca or to use the JR pass? Can anyone enlighten me of this?

This mean you no do homework.

depends on where you want to go. you can always use hyperdia.com to check your train, it will show which type of train and fare you going to take. From there you can calculate how are you going to utilize those passes. However just within Osaka, you can buy Osaka Unlimited Pass.. In Kyoto, you can always take bus(kyoto 1 day buss = 500 yen)..

if you keep travel between osaka and kyoto, kansai thru pass is suitable.. which can go to Nara and other places as well..

Hi below will be my itinerary

Day 1- arrive at KIX airport and travel to Osaka city (overnight in Osaka)
Day 2 - Osaka full day trip (plan to use osaka unlimited pass) (overnight in osaka)
Day 3 - travel from osaka to kyoto (overnight in kyoto)
Day 4 - kyoto (overnight in kyoto)
Day 5 - day trip to Nara (overnight in kyoto)
Day 6 - back from kyoto to osaka then travel to koyasan on that day (overnight in koyasan)
Day 7 - travel from koyasan to osaka (overnight in osaka)
Day 8 - do some shopping is osaka and then go to the airport

Want to check:
1) better to travel to Nara from osaka or kyoto....as far as I am concern, cheaper and faster if we travel from kyoto...pls correct me if I am wrong
2) do I need Kansai thru pass if I am to travel from osaka to kyoto back to osaka?

If that is the case I think I need to have both icoca and Kansai thru pass correct? Is my itinerary appropriate ?

Do the homework.

Wonder if anyone can help about a question from my friend. He came here as tourist and bought some tax free stuff. A form is staple to his passport and he is suppose to pass it to the custom after check-in and immigration. Question is what happen if he forgot to do it? If he were to pass it to the custom, will custom check the actual goods? Reason I ask is because I am not eligible for tax free stuff and the thing he bought is quite big and he is thinking of checking into cargo instead.
