Is it still worth going to Himeji now? It's still under construction until March right? What a pity.

Err.. I'm also traveling alone but I will stay at my friends' place, they need to work and I'll have to explore on my own. Kinda exciting yet challenging for me because I don't speak Japanese and their super comprehensive transportation service... I need a lot of time to study on the routes.

Still I took up the challenge and will go on 30th January, let's see what will happen to me then.

When I was in Himeji last year, when the main castle was not available due to refurbishment, they had to set up one building to house temporary attraction to accommodate visitors during the period. Of course accordingly, the entrance fee was reduced.

i wanna go to japan but got no teman how eh

i wanna go to japan but got no teman how eh

go with fruitie lo, she also travelling alone

Is it still worth going then? When was your trip?

Found something nice.
For those willing to spent more money to travel to Japan and don't mind landed at Narita International Airport.
Can Try ANA B787-8 from Singapore to Tokyo (Narita).
Due to ANA does't have any flight to Kuala Lumpur.  You have to fly to Singapore first.

This is those high tech stuff can get inside B787


There is Another option Which I travel to Japan most using this way.
Fly with Eva Air.  Kuala Lumpur to Taipei First by A330-300 Hello Kitty Theme Aircraft. From Taipei to any part of Japan city with Eva Air. 

Most Airline usual provided Japanese / Western Food Option.  Eva Air Will Provided Chinese Cuisine / Japanese Cuisine.  Which I like more this way.

July 2014. Hmmm, haha......if you really want to visit the main castle tower. No. You get to visit garden around the castle and fringe part of the complex though.

kiyomizudera is undergoing some renovation/restoration work too

beware, customer service in KIX suck in english
u r better off reading the signboard urself

ordering food is simple, their menu is full of pictures
and u might need to learn how to operate their vending machine... yes.. in the restaurant
no cashier and no one taking your order

Sorry missed out your reply.
Yes, I know about that....

The vending machine also.
Fully Japanese right?

Thanks for the feedback ya.
 

All in Japanese, but they are really simple to use. Really simple. Just like any other machines out there (or in MY).

OK, at least your words make me feel less worried.
Anyway, I will get my friend to teach me when I'm in Tokyo.
