Hi guys first visit to japan in May-June 2015.

Landing in Nagoya and going out from Osaka. Obviously will explore Nagoya / surrounding and then move to Osaka.

Any general tip on itinerary for me to make the best out of my trip? Day trips around the two cities? Looking at something like 7 - 10 days in total.

Thanks. ¥245 is really cheap. Over here its about RM23++. I can buy all those in the pic here except for the vanilla one though. I'll probably be buying a whole bag of them back to distribute. It's the only gift that I can think of that people will actually like, and will last longer compared to cakes.

Will AirAsia distribute the arrival slip on board?

I recall they didn't do that previously to HND

hahaha...i'm learning japanese. Nihon go wo renshu suru hitsuyou ga arimasu.

Great find! I didn't know such topics exist here. hahaha. Been to Japan many times and still haven't master the language.

I know. I'm didn't read the Rules N regulations. Why are you so uptight? I'm a newbie.

arghhh!! it wasn't meant for you! so embarrasing. well i'm a newbie. coz I didn't even know there's a "Learn Japanese section". 

You know I'm going to Osaka in December, so if anyone from lowyat tag along, feel free to join me for a nice cup of coffee or we can go Onsen, yeah!!

Oh...I'm used to winter. hehehe...

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)

Calm your t!ts, nobody is expecting you to spoonfeed anyone. It is a pain in the ass compared to other country.

traveling to  Tokyo this December for 2-weeks..

How can I include Kyoto into my trip?
I'll be landing in Tokyo and departing from Tokyo as well.

Anybody whom has done this before can kindly share with me your itinerary?

Thank you!

I'm actually not worried, I still plan to go if they don't wanna go but going with friends on holiday are more fun. But just want to convince to them, just because there's radiation there, doesn't mean we have to boycott it 

Hi

Me and my friend are planning to go to Japan in Jan mid. As both have no idea about Japan and not been there before. I would appreciate some advise from experienced for a novice like me

Thanks in advance.

Place of target is Tokyo / Nagano / Mt. Fuji

4 days enuf?

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…

I have booked a package of flight tix and hotel, 6D5N - Nagoya end of May next year.
What should I do with the public transport tix now?

Sorry.. Rephrasing. I want to know, what kind of tickets available in Japan?
Say unlimited ride for a week-type? Or daily pass? I bought a 1 week unlimited pass when I was in Sydney last May..

will be going to Tokyo and Kyoto. Still having problem understanding the rail station in Japan. Landed at Narita Airport. For a week travel in Japan, what your suggestion, take a JR pass or just just use the pasmo card? thank you in advance.

Hi, is it safe to travel to tokyo from narita alone? 30oct-1nov, I googled its autumn. Cold is it?
I only have 48 hrs in narita.  tq!

RegendCid, I'm going on 8th Jan - 17th Jan. Japan very cold too at this period? Tokyo?
