Thank you so much fellow japanese expertise in here, i decide to buy JR pass. Will be using the Shinkansen twice ( Tokyo - Kyoto , Kyoto - Tokyo ) Arrive & departure from Narita Airport. You guys said that to travel around tokyo also can use JR pass.. Going to Ueno also, Gundam statue  biggrin.gif

The JR Pass should i buy at airport or buy here because heard that travel agency also sell the JR Pass.. yes the price for JR Pass is around rm900 for now. I can't resist the bullet train experience since its the fastest train in the world. Compare KTM here in Malaysia  whistling.gif

just fyi, you cannot sit on the fastest shinkansen using JR Pass

My flight time is same as yours. The option town flatbed is first  book first get basis. If purchase from AirAsia directly is roughly rm2k per pax. My lecturer tried book from option town 4 months before the flight date but still didn't get.

My plan is to take sleeping pill before boarding. Hopefully I can sleep then no neck sore.

In Kyoto, can I purchase the 500yen bus pass for few days in advance? So far, I only saw 1 reply in TripAdvisor mentioned that its possible. Also during peak period, which bus route or area should I avoid if I want to minimise time spend on transportation or It's recommended to use subway if possible during peak period?
*
yes, you can purchase the bus pass in advance as it will only be activated on your 1st usage.

Thanks Human Nature and electron for the advice.

Thanks RegentCid for the sukiya tips. Really really informational. Definitely will be in my list of place to go for lunch

Is the soba/don tachigui style outlets very common and cheap? I'm thinking of spending less money on lunch then splurge on unagi, fugu and seafood during dinner.
*
maybe you should do the other way round as lunch menu tends to be lower than dinner menu

Finally after one year of blogging, my postings about Japan has finally come to an end. It has been a real busy year indeed. My whole summary for my Japan trip can be found here.
1. How do you know need to step down and take the front carriage halfway? can understand the annoucement? I read about this on some website.

2. How this fare adjustment machines work? I didn't know that we can use it to get back all our balance for Pasmo, with fee or without fee?..can we get back the deposit too?

3. Did you guys shoot the lady friend who cut q and left you all hanging? tongue.gif

Since Tokyo Ryokan is fully booked on the day that I want, now I'm looking for other alternatives....

1) Tama Ryokan (2 stations away from Shinjuku)

2) Taito Ryokan (Asakusa)
