ANA launching direct Narita flight from Sep onwards. 7am departure tho.. which means that arrival at Narita is 3pm and you lose most of the first day.
Dreamliner B787

But ANA fares are always expensive.

Time is running up and I just exchanged 100k yen today. Hopefully it is enough for me to cover all my expenses in Japan.

Worried and excited at the same time. Not sure what will happen to me.

Now I'm thinking to skip Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka and take a bus instead. For the cheaper alternative.

Seriously? That cheap? OK, will look into it after I come back from work today. I will need to attend a training.

It's OK, she can get me the necessary pass for me to go into the building.
This is the most unplanned trip for me.

menu screen oni... no gut 

[email=sacwoc]sacwoc[/email], does it still snow in the Northern Alps in March?

RegentCid need advise, i know that kamikochi will be close from dec - march. but i saw ppl posting picture at instagram around kamikochi during the month of jan. so i was wondering if there is still part of kamikochi which is accessible for tourist to enjoy the super view during that time.

in addition im planning to make takayama as based to go shirakawa  and kamikochi during january.

My friend's house is in Meguro and not Shibuya. Now my route needs to change. Decided to take NEX from Narita T2 to Shibuya since it only costs 1.5k yen now and from Shibuya switch to Meguro to put my luggage. After that go to Roppongi to meet up with my colleagues. Then after lunch, walk around Roppongi or may skip and go to Imperial Palace. After that will think about it again. Friend will wait for me at Meguro at 8pm.

I'll be going to japan form 30 april - 5 may. Turns out that time is Golden Week. I'm worried about hotels and attraction tickets especially Disneyland on the 4/5. Will the crowd be brutal? Should i book the Disney tickets online and is the fastpass worth it?

On 30/4 landing in osaka
On 1/5 off to kyoto
On 2/5 off to hiroshima
On 3/5 take early morning train to tokyo. Shopping in tokyo
On 4/5 full day at disneyland
On 5/5 half day to kawaguchiko and midnight fly back to KL

err , what happened ? why got kick out from the hotel ? dont scare me lei .... lol
lol bro , dig back my post , lazy want repeat and repeat ... read thru each page from page 1 , u will see my post how to buy it ... i already bought USJ ticket and disneysea ticket in advance from malaysia partnership office , because i scare need to queue, the ticket can be use anytime between jan 2015 till jan 2016

I been there, mainly the Manikami station
Stop there to go Takaragawa onsen
Around the got a ropeway, ski resort n few other onsen
But one thing disturbing is the place around the station looks abit rundown

Before reaching minakami can oso consider to shibukawa station
From there can go ikaho town, mount haruna or kusatsu (there a bus if im not mistaken)
Beside than that there is the famous car museum which has the original ae86 (correct me if im wrong)
N somewhere around mount haruna is where all the initial d story came from (betul kan???)

This all i know, and please gv tips im sure u know more hahah

u oni need to reach the location rite?
yes u can do it and it wont be brutal...

and u forget to squeeze in hakone and gotemba oso 

---

my alternative suggestion,
when u reach osaka... the first place u can go is nagasaki, then hiroshima, nagoya, yokohama, then aomori, sendai and finally tokyo... 5days definaltely more than enuf...
oh if possible pls squeeze in either sapporo or naha 

---

tat is how ppl able to do whole europe tour in 11days
fyi japan is oni 1country and u got 5days... THAT IS A LOT
   

im not too sure about japan
