not a problem la..just spend 1 day at hakone and proceed to kyoto. No need overnight. At hakone, you dont have to visit all..but onsen is a must!

to be honest, since time is already vital..just grab hikari from odawara

This month tips satisfied?

thanks for the comment, note taken

May I know wats the weather like during end of aug. Hotter than msia?

yeah usually ppol will say starbucks

+1! I read the few versions of this thread also dont have much info on Osaka. More on Tokyo!

Err..speaking to a jap in English is quite a task. Its chicken and a duck talk! I just said 'Hai" wenever they speak.LOL! Thats my experience when i was in osaka few weeks back.Some do understand what you were saying but they will just answer you bk in JAP.

Why is that so? If one purchase a one day osaka pass that cost 600-800yen , the river cruise, santa maria are FOC. Santa maria cruise is nice where one can tour the osaka bay with great scenery.

RegentCid hi there, i'm travelling to nagoya soon, am creating an itinenary now.. first time to japan. saw this tips you gave, is the shopping place at osu kannon open at night? will be arriving at 4.20pm or 5.20pm JST.

what do i need to prepare before flying? parents said JR Pass too expensive + they've been to tokyo and kyoto already so gonna spend 6 days at nagoya.

and any suggestion on good dinner on the first day to start with the trip? is sekai no yamachan good?



here's my current itinenary

day 1: dinner, osu kannon/shopping, maybe find a bar for sake or if there's a club (anybody knows?)
day 2: nagoya castle, nagoya tv tower, oasis 21, JR maglev train museum, toyota museum
day 3: nagashima spa land (if possible)
day 4-6 still planning

but melbourne is not humid. you'd be sweating in a few minutes just after walking outside.

I calculated my travelling expenses for my Tokyo trip in November and its around RM200/7000yen for 7 days. I'm planning to top up my Suica card with 7000yen and just use it throughout the trip. Is that a good idea or is there a better way?

guys where do i rent 3g dongle?

yes


pre-arrange and pick up at the airport http://www.globaladvancedcomm.com/pocketwifi.html

like taikor regentcid mentioned, you really should go to Nara, if for nothing else but to let your kids feed the deer.

im planing a trip to japan after world cup around july or august..

which place worth it to visit? not sure which area of japan I'm going..

any advise? going with my wife.

start at http://www.japan-guide.com/

narrow down what you like or don't like based on that site

draft an itinerary then ask specific questions here

Where do you guys buy a Japan Rail Pass? I'm planning on buying the 14 day pass. There's info here http://www.jnto.go.jp/bkk/malaysia/list_salesjrpass.html

but is any of it trusted?

Sekai no yamachan are Nagoya representative food.

Dear cluesslees@07,

they are 1200 deers in the Nara and surround Park, I am sure your kids will like it, and it
totally free, you need to buy deer cracker to feed the deers only.
