"From December 1, 2014 to January 17, 2015, the busiest time of the year at Tsukiji Fish Market, tourists will not be allowed to watch the morning tuna auctions to ensure a smooth and accident free course of business. The rest of the market is open as usual." Your date is ok, you can go. Go la, next time very inconvenient to see the tuna action liao ok i will think about it... coz this round im not going solo.... group somemore have to find places to stay... i think ginza is very expensive, u hv any (cheap!!!) recommendation? at least stay at nearer place, can save taxi money

So I will take the normal Odakyu Line Express from Shinjuku and get down at Odawara. That's possible right? I saw Tokaido Line also goes to Odawara. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I want to purchase the free pass but not sure if I should purchase from Shinjuku station or Odawara? http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2358_008.html This link shows Purchased inside the free area (e.g. Odawara Station) 4000 yen vs 5140 yen at Shinjuku station. Your guidance is very much appreciated. > romance car is just 35mins faster and with seat... from tokyo > if u wan seat on normal train, jus make sure u didnt go on weekend and peak hours > odawara station is like 15mins distance from hakone-yomoto, so if u r from osaka... u no need goto all the way to tokyo... not sure how JR will reach odawara > RC have deepavali special post on hakone, i advise u have a look https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry71008219

QUOTE(alexision @ Jan 5 2015, 12:56 AM) Hi all, I'm just wondering if I'm arriving at Haneda at 10:30pm, is one hour enough for me to get pass customs, collect luggage n buy new suica card n board a train by 11:30pm? I need to get to Shibuya Station. As I've checked at hyperdia, I can still make it to Shibuya if I board a train at at 12am from Haneda to Shinigawa then to Osaki and then Shibuya but this is like my really final train which I really hope to avoid. Worst case I need to catch a taxi from Shinigawa to Shibuya. Or should I just save the trouble (and the crazy woman look dragging the luggage to catch the trains) and just board the Airport Limousine directly? Trying to figure out if I can save 1500Y (x2 pax) from taking the bus... not sure how this will helps 1) Learn to buy suica card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzh8zIggaVs 2) Exit from haneda to train station https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzh8zIggaVs 3) Worst case scenario... sleep at airport 4) Wait for RC... for details guide This post has been edited by lucaswjk: Jan 5 2015, 01:11 AM

QUOTE(alexision @ Jan 5 2015, 01:21 AM) Yes, going through all 5 versions made me did a lot of homework before even asking my first question here. But no one here has mentioned anything about successfully catching the trains when arriving by AA at 10:30pm. Mostly just slept at the airport. I've already booked my accommodation at Shibuya, so I need to get there no matter what haha correct... according to RC... oni him able to do it... us... very hard i oso planned to stay around tat area... mind to share where u stay?

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. Because my friend did that while he was studying in Japan, no problem also. He say it is "nojuku". I'll take my chances. camp to save money? is not logic 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
