I'm planning a trip to Japan this coming April to 2 main places (Osaka and Tokyo)
Will purchase the National Japan Rail Pass which will be valid for 7 days to travel among states.
May I know can that pass also be used for the local rail-way metro if they're JR ?

Really have to avoid coming to Japan during Golden Week?

luckily didnt buy the tix coz AAX is selling for less than rm400 return during that period! haha

I was there at the beginning of Golden Week last year, it was not too bad. But I make sure to book all the shinkansen seats first thing after I get my JR pass la.

It's not that hard to plan the trp. With websites like http://www.japan-guide.com/ you can easily search for places of attractions and detailed information about the places you would like to visit. And it's fun to plan the trip too.

Your parents won't get exhausted if you're the one doing all the planning. tongue.gif
Hokkaido would be nice if you rent a car to drive around. I plan to do that in the future too.

Hi, can you tell me whether the photograph in your permit is the one with the blue background (old passport photo) or white background (new passport photo)? They did not state in specific.

Mine is white background. Did at AAM. If you are AAM member then it's RM150.

Your friends are probably just weak la.

Or body stressed up due to traveling.

Or ate something wrong.

Or sat beside some sick guy on the plane.

I'm looking for a tour package for 6 pax (incl 2 elderly) to Hokkaido. Noted on Bon Odori.

Can anyone recommend

- tour group companies ?

Thank you!

Wait for the next matta fair, which will be in September if I remember correctly. The most popular one is Apple Holiday, I don't know if they are any good or are they still the best for Japan tours or not. Go google it up yourself and call them for more info.

People here don't encourage tour packages.
