7. Osaka (back to KL)

dear king RegentCid

on day 4 on the way to kyoto, I am thinking of stopping at Okayama and Kurashiki

anything particular that you can suggest there? or should I skip it? what I knew is that they have some cool canals and castles?

did some reading on Onsen at Miyajima and kinosakionsen, is it worth the trouble going there or should i just enjoy miyajima onsen only? Should I skip and go to Hakone the next time I'm going to Japan?(thinking of going during the winter because fuji will be clear and onsen session will be )

not going to Nara because I've been there before and not to mention I can see the same animal at Miyajima

bringing my future waifu here, her first time at Nihon

a day trip to Hiroshima is do-able if you catch the first train and the 8pm train back to Osaka/Kyoto

since I don't really want to rush things out, I am planning just to stay at Hiroshima(Toyoko Inn or airbnb) before going straight to Kyoto.

or perhaps go to Kyoto first for a night then straight to Hiroshima and go back to Kyoto at the same day

since you are going to the western part of Japan, why not go to Hiroshima if you have the time?

each prefecture have their own specialty anyways

last year, went all the way from Tokyo to Kuantan

when I arrived in KL, I took a bus straight to Kuantan lol

didn't mandi for at least a day

Hiroshima and Miyajima one day also possible

just make sure you catch the first train and the 7-8pm train back to Osaka/Kyoto

Hiroshima Miyajima sebelah sebelah je bro

when are you going?

why would you do this wise one?

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.

yes, true that

on my last trip I only went to Osaka for a day, my feet hurts so bad from just walking

cannot enjoy properly and rushing most of the time, I was lost a few times when searching some places like Pokemon Center in Umeda

this is my second trip but first for my future waifu

alright, I'm just going to get the JR Area Pass(1 or 2 days) and just going to nail it

Osaka, Himeji(I MUST GO HERE), Kyoto and Nara

Something like this most likely

1. 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

thanks king RegentCid

I will ask you for opinion if I have done my homework

Sifu RegentCid, I am going to Tokyo this October for the second time

but for 6 days only

1. Haneda, arrive at night, staying at Ikebokuro

2. Yasakuni Shrine and Yushukan Museum -> Akihabara (HEY! arcade, shop, owl cafe, don quixote and lunch) / Odaiba (miraikan+surroundings)

3. Edo Open air museum -> Nakano Broadway -> Ikebokuro(round 1/namja town/j town/Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo)

4. Either Nikko or Saitama(TRAINS) + Kawagoe. Doesn't matter because this is not my last trip to Japan, but incline to Saitama

5. Asakusa and Ueno(national museum, national science and zoo)

6. 10am flight to KL

Btw I am getting Grutto Pass(2000 Yen) for all the museum entrance

because I like going to one to be honest

it is like going to Disneyland to me

other places like Shinjuku, Shibuya, etc. I've been there before last year

ok boss I will do some research more on Kasukabe
