We tried to go up for around 15mins, really too risky for my onizuka tiger (lol) and my waifu not wearing proper shoe at all. Probably if wanna hard neck and go up can make it, but by the top surely toes frostbite liao lol.

I can't seem to find the timetable for JR Pass Takayama-Hokuriku
I had check with google map and it seems like there is only one trip from:

OSAKA > TAKAYAMA at 7am and also one trip from
TAKAYAMA > OSAKA at 5pm

Can anyone confirm on this

Thanks

JS

i will reached haneda airport at 10.30pm. seems like train/subway will be close at 11.30pm. I don't know want to book for my accommodation for that night. Plan to stay in shinjuku area. Heard that there is a midnight bus to shinjuku but not sure able to catch up or not. Need advise. Thanks.

Options:

1. Race against time to clear immigration (around 30-40min) and u can get train to tokyo
2. Sleep at airport, many forum mmbr said is pretty safe
3. Stay at first cabin hanade for the night, about RM150 pernite (if not holiday period still ok to even just walkin)

Basically u can try option 1, if fail u can pick either option 2 or 3, safe money or proper sleep/rest. Either way u'll be safe, no worries.

TADAIMA!!! I'M BACK FROM A 16 DAYS TRIP IN JAPAN!!!!
16 days is never enough for Japan.

We went to Osaka, Takayama, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Toyama, Kurobe Gorge, Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Matsumoto, Kawaguchiko, Tokyo, Nikko, Karuizawa, Enoshima, Kamakura...

What I hate about Japan? sky gets dark too early, as early as 5pm, so what we can do during the day is very limited.

Fortunately, during my stay, most of the days are clear with blue sky. Only one day at Fuji 5th station with heavy fog, cant see the fuji mountain peak. But we got to see it again at Hangetsusan, Nikko 300km away the following week.

Time to plan for my next trip!~

Just came back from Japan yesterday, visited Koyasan, Kyoto, Osaka, Takayama, Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa in 10 days. Overall our trips were smooth and never get lost and I found their signage is very clear and not too complicated to understand. I think able to read Kanji is definitely an advantage to travel in Japan.

Amongst the cities mentioned above, think I like Takayama and Shirakawa-go the most and never regret spending extra transportation cost to go there. Kyoto and Osaka are too crowded in my opinion. Kiyomizudera have nothing to shout about but the early morning walk to the top of Fushimi Inari was interesting and enjoyable. And we enjoy very much on the hike from Takao to Kiyotaki (东海自然步道).

Can't wait to visit Japan again. smile.gif

Yes, with the Takayama Hokuriku Pass, it save me about 8K yen per pax.

so u took direct train from osaka to takayama (the 5hrs train ride, if im not mistaken)?

just want to know if it's doable or not cuz KLCC travel agent advice to stop at kanazawa one night before continue to takayama.
