i'm a travel NOOB...
(never been to oversea.... been to indonesia, but i don't think that count as oversea)

anyway, any good place to recommend for a non-japanese (only know some basic vocab, less then 50 words) speaker...

do you guys think,
-it's better to bring a japanese speaker
OR
-can we just got by with a pocket translator(i heard there's a few book shop in the airport selling those, and quite cheap) or google translate (need a working internet plan in japan, not always reliable)
*
i survive with 3 words arigato, sumimasen, gomenasai hahaha biggrin.gif
wat i did, if not sure direction i'll write it down the address just in case
will ask them for direction, normally ask younger ones
they'll normally search using their phone n show u the direction from their phone
other than that tourist places, trains n makan places mostly got english
if u know 50 words, im sure can explore places most of us not know hehehhe
so no worries just enjoy, language is nvr a problem.
unless u really want to try out ur japanese wit them

anyone had experience with onsen, mind to share?
those with nice view of the nature or facing sea
currently eyeing for minakami onsen in gunma
those open onsen with surrounding by nature seems very tempting
going there early dec, hope there be a bit snow

Because water was so hot. 42 celcius to 50 celcius.
If you stay in water more than 10 minute. Your skin will burn. Your "Telur" will masak.
Most worst, you will die. Hot waTer will cause ur blood pressure into head. Too much pressure in head then burst.  That call Stroke
One of most important Onsen rulez.......never never ever soak your self into Onsen. Max just reach ur neck.

How hot was 42 celcius?  First get a termometer at pharmacy. Boil a water, once reach 42 then put your hand into water.  Feel the power.....
So 10 minute izzit enough?

Hi Guys

Where is the best place to stay as a base to explore gunma with jr kanto 3 day pass. The problem with gunma is alot place not accessible to train, so u need to take bus n sometimes taxi n some places maybe a bit distance from the nearest JR station.

I'd checkout a few place mainly naganohara and takasaki cuz both is nearby to JR station, n seems ok. In i've shortlisted manza cuz the view there seems awesome n the hotel rate there is cheaper compare to kusatsu.

So i hope someone can share their experience n best possible option explore gunma's nature.

Thanks

JS

hi all...i'm still choosing between these two hotels in Kyoto :

1. Mystays Shijo
2. Kyoto Tower

Which one would be more convenient in terms of going sightseeing?
*
The best way for sightseeing around kyoto would be bus with their one day pass, so kyoto tower would be the choice cuz is just opposite kyoto station. As for mystays shijo is nearby nishiki market, which is nice for food hunting.

just a suggestion, for sightseeing at kyoto:

~ day 1: start from kiyomizu n walk until ginkaku. u'll pass thru nanzen temple, philosopher path n etc. then take bus n finish of at kinkaku

~ day 2: arashiyama n take the train to fushimi inari

should cover all main place in kyoto within ample time unless u have better idea smile.gif
