QUOTE(aidono @ Jan 21 2015, 01:42 PM) 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 osaka st to kyoto only 30mins on rapid service

QUOTE(terryykf @ Jan 21 2015, 09:41 AM) 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. QUOTE(michlove @ Jan 21 2015, 12:32 PM) your only option now should be private taxi not cheap ohhh.....RM1k http://www.travelarrangejapan.com/item/spe...wa-go-light-up/Beside Nohi Bus.
