sorry didnt know it was 10am check out ...thanks for the reminder...how about check in time ? the standard check in time is 3pm , can i check in 8-9pm ? no problem right

You can check in even late at night, but you need to inform them.
If you make reservation through booking.com for example, there is a box in the form where you can safely put your estimate time of arrival.

i suppose stay there for 1day only,
something unexpected happen... typhoon

so decided to cut 1day from our itinerary and continue stay there
but the hotel already full
i know there is special vacant room in all hotel
i tried to nego with them to get the room
with my limited Japanese skill, of coz failed to get it and hv to move out

kehadapan see u kyoto..my flight is tonight wehehehe

btw can share ur itianary...? pm pls?

raining? wow, must be very very cold then....

look cold

Not snowing meh? I heard some places in Tokyo is snowing 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

yeah, it is not worth it. If you return back to Osaka or have side trips from Tokyo like going to Nikko, Takayama, Nagano, Shirakawa-go then worth it.

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

Problem was he going at Golden Holiday

If he can afford that, he won't need go Japan in 5 days plus so rush.

haha

btw how u know?
for some ppl, time is more valuable than money
u never heard of when bill gate take a piss, he can earn more money than your lifetime

If he got 1/100 that richest of Billgate. I can recommend my company G-4 flight for him. Once reach Tokyo another AS365 helicopter bring him into any city he want in whole japan.
