have you checked using hyperdia?
you'll get the complete schedule and also the fare
base on that, choose according to your needs

Start from today, Tozan Line from Hakone Yumoto Station to Gora Station will have new train.
3000 Series. With bigger side windows and more stable.

Current Tozan Line are using 1000 Series and the train was 25 Years.

which is the best wifi rental company?

I think just get the b visitor SIM card.

If you don't mind it, buses are cheaper and maybe faster, usually leave from the same train stations.

Driving needs an expensive short term international license bought here, and worse Japanese road laws and driving style are very different, and STRICT. Road trips are wonderful if you can get over these caveats. Maybe convince a Japanese friend to go with you.

Hi, any update on this issue?

Do you reckon the queue to buy ticket on the spot will be long?

The most easy way is to take kintetsu train from Nagoya to Osaka, try google japan-guide.com in pg 1, and click in the map with nagoya wording.

Every time I go Japan I use http://www.globaladvancedcomm.com/pocketwifi.html ... I have zero idea how this compares to the other providers but it's good enough for me so never bothered switching providers.

I have not tried again with purchasing 1-Day passes.. will try it out later

Hi Guys,

Has anyone used wifi rentals which we can get delivered here before flying like Bee Mobile or Visiondata? How do they fare?
I used Advanced mobile when in Japan and that was fantastic but I'm just wondering if there are other options.

Thanks.

hotel mystays ok ke? Very tempted only 150 per night at Nagoya but saw some disgusting picture on tripadvisor.

alright, please share your outcome.

looks like others are having some kind of problem too but different from yours.

This might be a bit of a dumb question...but I've just exchanged RM3060 for 100,000 yen and I was given ten 10000 notes. I asked the cashier if they can give me smaller notes and they say they don't have.
Now..should I exchanged them with smaller notes when I reach Tokyo? Maybe at 7 Eleven or something? I'm worried that if I use 10000 yen to pay a 500 yen meal they won't accept it because they don't have any change or something. Not sure if something like this happens in Tokyo but it does happen here. You walk into 7 Eleven to purchase a RM2 drink and give them RM10, the cashier will either tell you to go find some small change or go somewhere else and buy.

Just exchange by purchasing snacks at mini-mart, no harm.

Buy thing or meal at airport la... No worry la... Airport ppl very friendly 1... Japanese very polite 1...

The best place to change to smaller denomination is the subway ticket machine. They don't say no to your money.

mystays is a big hotel chain so each location will be different. but for me i stayed a few nights at the asakusa-bashi location a while back, no complaints for the cheap price except maybe the mattress a bit hard.

i was going to suggest that
i used that to reload suica card and break to smaller change
look for those that accept and does changes. if in doubt ask the station staff

i am looking to buy 2- day passes to disney land/sea tokyo too for december. sigh.... i dont want to go there and waste time lining up....

what are the problems others are facing?

hope disney rectifies the problem......
