On buying the Osaka Enjoy Eco Card (weekend and holiday version) from ticket machines or sales window at Higashi Umeda Station 

Mt Ontake is just around 200km from Chubu airport. anyone got current news about flight interruption to that airport?
my flight to nagoya is in few more weeks.

Haha..then maybe you can do something on odaiba..best spot for rainbow bridge, food

Pasmo cards only works on metros/subways and saves you about 5 Yen per trip. The rail looks complex but you'll get the hang of it after several purchases. The complexity of it is when looking for the correct line to take, especially at the bigger stations like Shibuya/Shinjuku.
NOP,  It works on Private Line to JR line. 
It works on 7-11 , Dawson. 
It even works on purchases JAL flight ticket

close due to dengue problem?

dun think i need JR pass for the shinkansen...i will skip that..I will take the bus or normal train

most likely i will get subway pass when i am in kyoto and osaka
i plan to take bus from nagoya (landing here and stay 1 night) then move to kyoto by bus (probably 2 nights)

then from kyoto to osaka will taken shinkansen (cost 1420 yen = RM50 only).... good idea?

well at least i try the bullet train with minimal cost

Guys, wanna confirm with you guys. Some blog do tell me, when we exchange the jr pass, we need to specify the seat in advance? If not, we might possible not allow to take the train?

But some also do highlight it is just no guarantee of seat if we do not choose in advance.... anyone can confirm this?

Thanks! Require to do advance reservation?

Hi quick question, anyone know if I can get away with renting a car without an International Driver's license, or I must have one before I can rent a car in Japan?
