I did checked online before to lowyat as some blog stated end of May beginning of June.....

looking at japan LRT map makes me @_@

from what i learn is from chubu airport , take lrt to Meitetsu-Nagoya Station...

then got 4 track...each track got 4-5 spot @_@ ??
booking room in airnb and need to make sure it is near lrt is a headache....i dunno which lane is connect to Higashiōte Station....

Japan not using LRT.
MRT are city subway which only in City.
don,t make sure self like a kampung when you at Japan. Do more homewoek.
The train to Airport and out of City are real locomotive train like our KTM commuter standard.

yes that is why i am trying to read more ...

very confusing with the name and location

Refer to Page 1 Chubu Airport Section. For more information how to get out from Chubu Airport to City

So... I just finished my "Speedrun" of Japan: All major cities in the major regions covered in 10 days. Initial thoughts:

1. If you plan to do it this way, the 7-day Japan Rail Pass is absolutely necessary, and pays back for itself multiple times. The other passes not so much: I found getting myself a normal IC card (Icoca this time around coz I already have Suica) for normal intra-city travel is much more convenient and you don't really lose much vs city travel passes.

2. The rail timings will be tight. Like *real* tight, especially from Nagoya --> Sendai --> Sapporo, primarily because Hakkaido does not have a Sinkan system *yet* and relies on slower express trains. You also have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning more than a few times.

3. 10 days is enough (barely) if you know what to cover (this is already my 3rd time going to Japan, mostly Tokyo, so less to cover). For first timers however, 14 days is reccomended so that you can cover more stuff around Tokyo on the second week. You'll move around *a lot* though (maybe even up to the last city train) expect to rest only while travelling between cities, and when you're sleeping.

4. Japanese language skills, while *not* absolutely necessary, can be *very* helpful, especially when going to the less touristy parts of Japan. It also helps open doors to very interesting conversations.

5. The GAC LTE MIFI is totally worth it. It's fast and lasts for at least 3/4 of a full day. Coverage wise, the only trouble I've had was in tunnels (duh... but the Sanyo Shinkansen has a *lot* of tunnels... really) and in the more *ulu* parts of Hokkaido. Otherwise it works pretty perfect.

For a detailed breakdown, maybe later. For now, all I could say that it was a hectic 10 days, but great fun nonetheless.

Has anyone ever stayed at Khaosan Ninja hostel. Review is much appreciated for those who stayed there before.

i have no problem understanding getting out from airport to city...

problem start with after arriving city
what happen after reaching Meitetsu-Nagoya Station...as there are few tracks to choose

I have stayed khaosan Kyoto guesthouse and I would say it's very clean and the staff can speak English very well...they have frequent daily cleaning. The con is bathrooms and shower Rooms are sharing basis and it's limited so u may need to wait in line lol...it was packed when I went there

Un clothes everything first. Wear tuala cover below.  Walk to shower room.
Masuk terus off tuala off underwear // boxer....open water shower.  I can done it in 4 minute 45 sec.
balance minute then dry up ur self. wear back underwear // boxer.  Gam Gam 6 minute the shower room door opens

for guys can la.. for girls like quite challenging wei girls to cover with towel and walk to shower room kind weird 

Hi all,

Just to share with you if you are arriving Haneda airport late at night like me.....I'll be reaching at 10.30pm, therefore it's abit risky to rush for the last train to the city and if you miss it, then hotel money also burn liao. After doing some research, i found out that the Keikyu bus is having extended their late night service, last bus is 1.30am. Therefore I decided to book a hotel near Kamata Station and take the bus there.

Here's the link to more information : http://www.mlit.go.jp/common/001057349.pdf

FYI, Late-night busses departing from Haneda will be running for a limited time from October 26, 2014 to March 31, 2015 only.

Shower was not a primary thing for Japanese. Japanese avg 1 week bath 1 to 3 times only. When you at Japan you can follow them. Bath 3 times a week only.  That like when you go their Country also follow their culture

i thought japanese more or less similar like chinese. didn't know about this until you mention it. thank for your information

perhaps should i say only malaysian like to shower more often? cz my other friends in other countries also shower less haha..
