haha alright

Maybe to Nikko?

Just purchased my ticket, excited and nervous(1st time solo travelling)



6 days in tokyo, 2 days in yokohama

Any pro and cons to arrive Haneda airport / Narita airport from KL? like more friendly way in and out of the airport when arriving. or custom check harder .. or any other tips?

thanks in advance

narita ticket cheaper...

Hahaha, why do u need to cover the flight number?

Haneda nearer to Tokyo city. But arrive late 10pm++ and will be a rush for public transport before 12 midnite

stalker everywhere

If I am interested to travel around Hokkaido, what is the best mode of transport? Self drive or via rail?

I am a fan of rail travel since I did my Europe rail travel, the shortcoming is just to visit rural area which rail and public transport would be limiting.

Roughly how much it cost to stay in a good Hostel?
Is 10 days good enough to do a not so rushed itinerary in the Island?

Thank you

Rail only good in Sapporo. Need car for the rest of the island. U can fly in one airport and fly out another airport. 10 days can cover a lot on the island

Learned the hard way, don't try to over extend.. Just be happy of what you have planned.. If you want to cover more extend your days =)

Was so tired and started to get frustrated when I try to cover 11 cities in 25 days during my Europe tour.

Would 10 days there with a budget say 6~8k be sufficient? inclusive of air ticket too.
I would like to do a long distance run event (marathon or half) then continue on with my tour

Rail are quite good in Hokkaido. It still link to all major City. For those onsen spot or sightseeing spot. It have all free shutter bus to nearest station.

It already cover up all non rail area. Public transport in Hokkaido I give 85/100 score.

Shinsaibashi (Another brief walkabout) + Fugetsu

From Inari, we took a train back to Kyoto station arrived JR Osaka station about 45 minutes later. Then we started to use our Osaka 2 day pass which grants unlimited subway use and boarded to train to Shinsaibashi for our very belated dinner.

Osaka, being one of the 3rd largest city in Japan, is also as vibrant and lively as Tokyo. This was very much of what Shinsaibashi has to offer being one of the spots for nightlife as well as for fashion. As we have arrived a bit late, most of the shops have begun to close.

Once again, due to time constraints we were quite with limited with what we could visit. Hence the first place that we visited was Fugetsu, to try one of Osaka's most famous delicacy - okonomiyaki! This place was inside the coupons that came with the Osaka 2-day pass (free Asahi beer) and was recommended by some websites.

Shinsaibashi also has its fair share of dodginess as social escorts (i think) can be seen all around the streets. As the well dressed male and female approach random strangers on the streets, to which a majority rejected their offer of something. These people (the girls) look really decent and certainly of model quality I guess.Quite an eye opener.

We didn't get to try any takoyaki though, which is also one of the most famous delicacy in Osaka. Was feeling too full after the sumptuous okonomiyaki. Maybe at another stop then.
