holy shit...
AAX just cut fuel surcharge,
i bought return ticket RM1600, now can get for RM1248

But but but, I get MAS at rm1600 that's why

Why not? Unlike most people out there that does not understand aviation, MAS is still a good airline despite losing its former glory. Every pilot, crew, and maintenance team out there have my respect.

I will not mix up the incompetent board of directors controlled by you know who with what MAS should be proud for. Those people simply just have not taken those westerner airline, to realize how MAS is still praised for.

Anyway stick back to Japan discussion before getting nuked by rc

hi all,

would like to ask how many days are recommended to stay in Osaka? Will be traveling from Tokyo. Also, how much is the train (in RM) from Tokyo?

Appreciate your help. Thanks!

Made in Japan V2

Normally there is not much snow in Tokyo. But since I came here the last few year, there is defenitely one or two days that there will be heavy snow. So be prepare in Feb! And tomorrow is suppose to be the coldest in Tokyo for this winter with snow.

Hey guys, planning on a 7 days trip from Tokyo to Hiroshima travelling from 22th January 2016 to 29 January 2016.

Can the JR pass travel from Tokyo to Hiroshima (and back)? I googled it and found out that Nozomi and Mizuho lines cannot be used with JR pass, but others can. These two links too show that Hikari and Sakura lines can get from Tokyo to Hiroshima. Just wanna confirm (because the tickets are not cheap... not cheap at all!)

One more question... How do I reserve the places for JR pass trains (Ordinary JR pass)? Is it free?

THANKSSS SIFU.

Thanks! That really helped a lot and clarified my doubts.

Seemed like JR pass is really worth the money. Individual tickets would kill the bank!

michlove is there any double decker bus in japan ? like those can see city view , the top is uncovered

Northern Alps will closed at 1 Dec to 6 April.  Tateyama Alpine Route open at April will no more snowing but the snow wall will be very very Thick

ok, thx for the info XD, still have 1 month to plan my trip ~~ now search some basic info.

How about sim card recommended?
1. Japan Trip Sim = 4000++\-- yen (saw from lyn post)
2. Docomo sim from sakuramobile.jp = 5150 yen (from their website)
3. http://www.softbank-rental.jp/e/rental-plan-ib04.php

any other suggestion??

Raining non stop at Tokyo now.

The tateyama full alpine route is opened on 16/4 onwards. Does this means that before that we will not be able to go visit the snow wall at mt. tateyama?

I'll be arriving at KIX and departing from HND. Will be planning to travel Osaka, Kyoto, Nara (pending), then to Tokyo with a total of 12 days. Is it recommended to get the JR pass? I was told by my friend who went last year that if I only travel 1 way via the shinkansen it's not worth to get the JR pass. Is that correct? Thanks

Hi Sifus,

Plan to go during Sakura season. Plan to join a tour package because first time travel.
Any comments?
