if u intended togo hokkaido, the mountain/forest part might start to snow

hi guys, i am planning to go to japan, any place to recommend ?

Kyushu Star update ends

How do I go to Jomo Kogen station from Kawaguchi station?
I Googled and it says that I should take the Keihin Tohoku Line to Omiya, get down there and take the Joetsu Shinkansen to Jomo Kogen.
The entire journey is about 1hour30mins and cost ¥5,580.

I would like someone experienced to confirm this since I don't exactly trust everything I find in Google.

Also, is Kawaguchiko the same as Kawaguchi station?

According to Japan Official. Today was Sakura Blossom peak Season at Kyushu.

The Clock is ticking !!!

3 cocktails..2 beds...so where's the lenglui?

Thank will check out those 3 places. In fact my stay will be between Higashiyama station and Keage station.

No way will be done at 1 hour 30 Minute!!
Fastest also need 3 Hour plus !!

Lake Kawaguchi was place name and Train Station name called kawaguchiko Station

Got one fastest way.
Expensive but fastest way
Need alot homework to precision it.

From your Hotel take Taxi or Walking to Kawaguchiko Station. Take 5am Haneda Airport Express Keihin Kyuko Bus [[This part was the precision part]] get down at Shinagawa Station East Exit. ((7am))
Shinagawa Station can take Yamanote Line to Tokyo Station then change to Joetshu Shinkansen to Jomokogen.

Or another way was refer to Page 1
Take Fujikyu Highway Bus back to Shinjuku then Yamanote Line to Tokyo // Omiya Station then Joetshu SHinkansen

hi guys, the only way to take tokaido main line is to buy JR Pass? Can i buy a one-trip ticket on tokaido main line, like what we use in singapore/ malaysia MRT & LRT.

Thanks Regent. I knew I shouldn't trust Google too much. Will check on the things you mentioned.

of course you can, did that for osaka to tokyo.

Another question from ignorant me :

What are the benefits of the icoca card? How much does it cost by itself?

For the Haruka-icoca combo, must I buy it online first before going to Osaka or can I buy it upon arrival at Osaka?

Thanks again!

icoca is just like touch and go card, benefit is no need to buy ticket everytime. just tap at the gate. depends on how much you want to top up. deposit is 500 yen. when you want to get back your deposit, there is a handling fee of 210 yen iinm.

it is not buying online but booking. no payment needed. save time when you are at the office. else you can buy it there too.

Thanks for the clear answers.

Do I have to show my passport and return ticket to purchase the combo?

What about the Kansai Through Pass? Can I buy this upon arrival too?

Yes, yes and yes

i see, glad to hear that, then it is exactly like singapore MRT right, just buy ticket then go the platform wait, or it is like KTM, buy ticket for tomorrow instead of instant like MRT.

up to you, both also can.

Seriously this kind of question so easy to get at Google. Still want to spoon feed.
What the,...........

ooo
booked dy end oct to early nov.. haha

time to book hotels and discuss my itenerary with my friend !
