QUOTE(RegentCid @ Jan 11 2015, 09:30 PM) Do the homework first. Find out this 2 pass. Ok, then can skip Amazing Osaka. The reason I was thinking of this pass is the discounts it offers for several attractions, some are free while some need to pay a minimal price only. Basically Kansai Thru Pass are widest & biggest coverage.   |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 11 2015, 03:54 PM) You are wrong leh. I haven't worked out on itinerary yet but now depending on the passes I will get to determine the places I wanna go. People choose places then buy passes, I'm the other way round. uncheck the nozomi/mizuho/hayabusa box in the search option Anyway, I'm looking at Amazing Osaka site but I don't think it is selling at Shin-Osaka station? http://www.osaka-info.jp/osp/en/buy/buy.html Can you please guide me where to buy it? I see it's more convenient if I come from KIX but I'm not.  I will go to Osaka via Nozomi Shinkansen. I tried Hyperdia but it doesn't show other slower Shinkansen (e.g. Hikari)? Or is it because the time I'll be traveling doesn't have that train? I checked through the fares and noticed the price doesn't differ much between Nozomi or Hikari, I think I will just go for the fastest one for the sake of experience. nozomi cost 14,450, ~153 mins journey hikari is 14,140, ~175 mins journey didn't expect the difference in the fare to be so minimal |

Yeah too little difference and no reason not to take Nozomi. nozomi cost 14,450, ~153 mins journey hikari is 14,140, ~175 mins journey didn't expect the difference in the fare to be so minimal  |

QUOTE(kernan.rio @ Jan 11 2015, 09:03 PM) Ya meh? Most of the guides say that they might ask you for identification, that's all. They cannot arrest you. Also you must leave in the morning. camp to save money? is not logic Because my friend did that while he was studying in Japan, no problem also. He say it is "nojuku". I'll take my chances.  boy... let me teach u, super budget accommodation 1) overnite at airport is FREE 2) ride midnite bus is FREE 3) couchsurfing.org is FREE 4) cybercafe is SUPER CHEAP 5) hostel is CHEAP bonus: in korea, u can stay at sauna for a cheap price  |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 2 2015, 05:56 PM) Yes, need to buy in advance. Taobao huh, didn't know can do that also! Can buy from Lawson, maybe need my friend's help to buy for me first or I will go through sellers in Taobao, can post to me in Tokyo. Last time went to Thailand, Pattaya actually to watch Tiffany show and my China friend bought ticket from Taobao, much much cheaper. |

Customers can enjoy a package like a Byobu, a Japanese folding screen with an included origami paper.   I think this is a good deal for tourists to get data in Japan, suggest RegentCid to add Iijmio SIM card in the first page useful for first timers in Japan. This is the link for Iijmio: https://t.iijmio.jp/en/index.html This post has been edited by fruitie: Jan 13 2015, 11:16 AM |
