Thanks Regent.

thanks for the feedback
i think i'll take the Osaka-Hokkaido route on the Twillight Express
then the normal bullet train when heading to Tokyo

Current high level plans is Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara) --> Hokkaido --> Tokyo, spending around 12-13 days there

if u r in osaka, recommended to take peach airlines
cheaper and save time

thanks for the recommendation
i'm aware of that but i would like to try the train and get the opportunity for the sight seeing

This doesn't make sense...why take Twilight express back to Osaka again?

If you at Sapporo. Just take Cassiopeia to Tokyo.

Cassiopeia are Japan 2nd high class night train compare to most highest class are Kyushu Star.

i spent around 7-8days in hokkaido,
oso not enuf time... barely cover all the important parts

u need to plan to use ur time wisely

ps: if u plan to drive in hokkaido during winter... gud luck. remember to buy heavy insurance

Hi guys.. I'm doing stopover at Narita airport from 7am till 5pm..

What would be the trip and food to eat you would recommend?
I found Naritasan Shinshoji temple.. Is it any good?

Tx sift sifu and mahaguru here..

to all japan traveller, here is my itinerary (draft)...

touchdown kansai
straight heading to kanazawa

day 2:
stay at kanazawa

day 3:
kanazawa-osaka

day 4:
nara 1 day trip

day 5:

osaka tour

day 8:

my question: what kind of pass shall i get? JR pass like very wasted. or maybe just haruka + ICOCA, and then all buy seperately?

Without JR rail Pass.
From kansai Airport to Kanzawa will cost you RM600 route trip.
From Shin-Osaka to Nagoya by shinkansen will be Rm1200 route trip.

Do the homework before you talk cork here......JR Rail Pass very wasted? WTF?

but total with 11 days, means i shall get 14-day JR pass?

i think my statement was a bit confusing
my plan is to Twillight Express for Osaka-Sapporo
then Sapporo-Ueno using the standard day time bullet train

Bro,

you can purchase the ticket at the Lawson Counter at the airport,

I got mine with the assistant of those workers there.



You need to schedule flexi day/time if you wanna visit Fujiko Museum,

this is because the date/time you need might fully booked, (I selected 6days after)

therefore you need to prepare few time slot to avoid disappointment.

Yea I know about the adjustment in date. I allocated 3 days to shuffle around due to my limitations, cause only a one week trip, and they close on Tuesday. How many days your trip there?

Nevertheless, I enlisted the aid of bro sacwoc to be safe to avoid any disappointment. If all else fail, then I will do it own my own. Thank you on your info here though, I totally forgotten there is Lawson in airport too.


RegentCid Is it ok if I choose board the limousine bus at a hotel I am not staying? I mean I just walk in few days earlier to the hotel lobby to reserve a bus ticket from the hotel staff even though I am not staying there.

Any tips to consider if I want to withdraw money at ATM here using malaysia debit/ATM card? Just in case if ever I went wild with the shopping here.

Fron Sapporo no bullet train to Ueno.
You have to reach Shin-Aomori station first.

Is it true that tourists will have little luck booking twilight express?

Yeah! I checked the pricing for the same date last night and it has already gone up to RM900++

Hi there guys, I'm going to Tokyo for 6days trip. Can I do Kyoto too in my trip? Is it too rush?

6 days a bit rush lah, but it's do-able. your flight arrive at tokyo and leaving also tokyo?
