Spring time I am targeting.

As a backpacker, I can explore pretty fast and we will discard off those eating place like Komichi and Yoshimura.

If sweet time to take picture then maybe take longer.

That is why I am wondering whether worth to take a way route using the Romance train before walk back to Arashiyama station and head back to Nagoya.

Lets put it this way.

Earlier train from Osaka to Kyoto (1.5 hours train) start do the things, bla bla bla then Arashi to Nagoya (2 hours train). Targeted to reach Nagoya about 6-7 PM

What is the point of having a forum and a topic then? To discuss right? People do their homework and if they still don't understand, they ask. Not keeps on telling other people do not give tips, do not ask, do own homework.

This have to depent the question. Question about shopping stuff. NO.
Complicated stuff since when I never give offer to help.

Shopping tips....
This have to do your self or miss it then regret also part of Traveling. This mean your homework do not full enough.

I worried the hotel not allow me to put the luggage and worried shinkansen there dont have place to store my big luggage (20kg luggage)

2nd Question : should i depart around 6 instead of 7 ? just to be safe to not missed the last shinkansen which is 930pm
3rd Question : Is it all bus ticket or shinkanse or train ticket no need to buy in advance and just purchase directly on the spot?

if you plan to build some nice muscles, then yes, you should bring the luggage along tongue.gif
carrying luggage up-down bus and trains and inside train station.... your luggage must be quite small and light
it's not all flat roads all the way
