Why Okayama for ''Momo'' QUOTE(Human Nature @ Mar 21 2015, 03:22 PM) 2015 Japan Golden Week 27 April to 10 May According to cherry blossom forecast, Hokkaido coincides with golden week. If I plan to go to Hokkaido for cherry blossom in 2016, guess i have no other choice? Golden week are worst for traveling between town to town and hotel price will be higher. If you only stay at Hokkaido only no problem. QUOTE(deodorant @ Mar 21 2015, 03:25 PM) But but ... damn far leh. the money to go okayama seems more worth it to just buy and eat in Tokyo LOL. Those momo farm can eat most fresh and juicy

Meaning if I use it for the first time at 10am on Monday, I can use it until midnight ~11.59pm on Friday only, not 10am on Saturday? Day 1 Himeji Day 2 Hiroshima Day 3 Hiroshima/Miyajima Day 4 Kyoto Day 5 Kobe/Osaka ok or not? Yes. All Pass are same. Even JR Rail Pass also same. Validity: Calendar Days or 24-Hour Periods? The validity period of the Japan Rail Pass is based on calendar days (midnight to midnight) rather than 24 hour periods. For example: when starting to use a 7-day pass at noon on day 1, it will expire at midnight at the end of day 7 rather than at noon of day 8. You already when Osaka + Kyoto so many times already....maybe can try Okayama // Takamatsu This post has been edited by RegentCid: Mar 21 2015, 06:20 PM

If for half a day, can go to Philosopher path and Maruyama, never been there before. All depend on whether got super cheap AA ticket or not if don' t have, then Thanks to you.....I found out Page 1 are missing something. Now I update Page 1 with all JR Passes offer by JR railways. and 2015 onwards JR passes changing alot rules.....I also 1st time found out hiroshima kansai passes too......this is new stuff.....they separate JR West Passes into 2 already...... Takamatsu info available at page 1 This post has been edited by RegentCid: Mar 21 2015, 06:37 PM

Immigration, baggage, etc already 11.30pm and by that time, the train can only bring you to tennoji station. Apart from taxi, the only alternative is taking the limo bus to osaka/umeda area? Take morning flight noon arrived Kansai International Airport flight. If Night arrived direct take Limo Bus at Terminal one building 1F. Bus Stop No. 5 to Osaka Station around Herbis Osaka, Then walk to Umeda. Last Bus was 1.45am This post has been edited by RegentCid: Mar 21 2015, 10:31 PM

グローバル防衛構想 Senior Member 4,060 posts Joined: Dec 2007 From: クアラルンプール > 日本	If you guys ask me. I will put Osaka , Kobe , Kyoto , Nara in one trip. Hiroshima , Miyajima , Kure , Okunoshima , Himeji , Okayama in one trip. If you guys putting Hiroshima + Kansai area together...quite wasted, you cannot gain 100% due to short time. unless you when to Kansai alot of times already like me This post has been edited by RegentCid: Mar 22 2015, 03:21 PM

I thought Himeji is nearer to Osaka? by the way damn, this is quite a good idea can extend my night at Hiroshima for another day by putting Okayama or Hiroshima as a base to sleep/put stuff. Because to take out half day to Himeji are not wise. Osaka , Kobe , Kyoto too many many ting to see if you are 1st timer. Do you believe I go Osaka 1 week just stay at Osaka only...not even going Kyoto or Kobe.....Osaka too many thing to enjoy already This post has been edited by RegentCid: Mar 22 2015, 03:25 PM

Osaka 2. Osaka 3. Kobe and Himeji sleep at Osaka 4. Kyoto 5. Kyoto & Nara(morning) 6. Kyoto 7. Osaka is Kobe is worth the one day trip bos? any hidden gems that you are sharing that is is not written in the japan guide and popular blogs? The only place where I can think going to Kobe is just the ropeway, arima onsen and Kitano after I did my homework, I can conclude (what I feel) that Kobe is not going to worth the 1 day trip there because I am just going to Himeji for a half day Kobe at Western meet Japan City. Inside got alot delicious western food. Kobe Tower , Chinatown....etc tec...you have to find out by homework

グローバル防衛構想 Senior Member 4,060 posts Joined: Dec 2007 From: クアラルンプール > 日本	QUOTE(Human Nature @ Mar 23 2015, 12:18 PM) (1) Any stark differences between Nozomi, Mizuho and Sakura train on the Sanyo line apart from number of cars? (2) In general, would the hotel rooms in fukuoka or hiroshima cheaper than osaka? 1) Arriving time different only. ''Mizuho'' and ''Nozomi'' are fastest train due to stop at major station only. In Between Shin-Osaka Station to Hiroshima...it only stop at Shin-Kobe and Okayama Station only. ''Sakura'' class from Shin-Osaka Station will stop at Shin-Kobe , Okayama , Fukayama then Hiroshima (2) Yes but not much.....Rm50-100 Different

I used to have rabbits as pets, so already used to them . 3 weeks is so long did you cover himeji or okayama? I am thinking about getting JR west pass for the sanyo line but have not decide whether taking the 5 days or 7 days one. Will take the 7 days one if I go to Fukuoka. So far Confirmed places are - osaka (base hotel), kyoto (2 days, daily trip) - miyajima (1 day trip), don't know where to set as hotel base, hiroshima or okayama Under consideration are - hiroshima /okayama - himeji (1/2 day trip for the castle since looks like nothing else there) - fukuoka (headache cause will only go if cheery blossom at other places not blooming, 1 day trip from hiroshima or okayama) - kurashiki (half day trip) Out of consideration - kobe - nara biggest headache is where to set as second base hotel Why make the journey so rush? Btw Hiroshima best time to visit was Nov to Jan. Oyster season.

Iwakuni worth visiting? The Kintai-kyo Bridge is beautiful but need 50 mins to reach there from Hiroshima. Any comment on Uji? Not a green tea lover but the place looks ok. Hiroshima & Okayama got street food too but smaller size. Hiroshima must challenger the Hell Spicy noodle. Lv1 to Lv10 spicy + Hiroshima Okonomiyaki Iwakuni only worth to visit at May.

グローバル防衛構想 Senior Member 4,060 posts Joined: Dec 2007 From: クアラルンプール > 日本	QUOTE(KidsCode @ Mar 24 2015, 03:50 PM) Nope, I'm not taking you lightly or as a joke from your explanation and understand the risk factor. As wife and I decide to go Japan during that time, alot of ppl against us especially she is pregnant. We understand the risk and the understanding of, if really scare there is no other chance to go there this life time, as you explain that radiation stay for a very long time. Been there again at 2014 and going again this year. Didnt go into details explanation like you do, maybe it sounds like I'm taking it likely, but I just want to explain in a lament term (nope, not in a sarcastic level too) I go Japan as much as 297 times already...going to be 300. I put radiation detector device over my body ...the reading was as high as some one just done X-ray scan. My reading so high one of the fact was 2011 Tohoku earthquake I was there. if you ask me I won't dare to have any baby...I scare the radiation pass over
