Guys I did a "panic buying" at AA cheap fare. Ended up flying in & out Nagoya this October. A bit regret that now I have to U-turn back to Nagoya to fly back, but there was no other cheap ticket that time. Also, it's not cheap, it's actually free. Pay for the minimal fee/tax only.

October is so damn near, aargh, what am I doing? Not prepared. No research. Not enough money. Backpacking freaking alone.

For now the plan is
- To find youth hostel, or BB, usual backpackers place.
- Not going to buy crazy ass expensive JR Pass.
- Thinking of getting those "daily passes" Kampung posted.
- Also the Willer bus sounds attractive, saving hotel one night!
- I know internet is a pain in the ass in JP, eventhough that's very important for such unplanned travel! To research.
- Not even sure going to Osaka or Tokyo

Info:
- The trip is 9 days long (excluding the 2 flight days)
- Usual tourist spot such as temple or themepark is not main priority since I'm on extremely tight budget (not that interested anyway)

RM850.00 ? That's craaazy.

Calm down, sifus sekalian, I don't have a detail plan yet, nor made reservation/check availability. Plan-plan only. The objective is to (from Nagoya) visit Magome and then Noto Peninsula, that’s it.

Nagoya -- (JRtrain) --> Nakatsugawa -- (bus) --> Magome -- (hiking trail) --> Tsumago -- (infrequent bus) --> Nagiso -- (local train) --> Matsumoto -- (highway bus) --> Takayama -- (JRtrain) --> Toyama -- (JRtrain) --> Nanao -- (rental car) --> Noto Peninsula -- (rental car) --> Nanao -- (JRtrain) --> Kanazawa -- (JRtrain) --> Nagoya

Bus or train is interchangeable, whichever is available or less-confusing. So many buses and trains I have to take, I think in the end I have to get JR Pass.



3rd Oct – Touchdown at Chubu, Nagoya
13th Oct – Fly out from Chubu, Nagoya

Days not fixed (haven’t book accommodation)
Transport wishful thinking (haven’t check availability)

Early plan only, ya. Calm down everyone.. Of course will go into detail more after this. For now I have only read japan-guide.com

I only have 1 months left to research. Hopefully I’ll make it in time, otherwise…
