7D6N Flying to Tokyo. I would say 4 nights in Tokyo, 2 nights in Hakone.

Initially I will be spending the whole trip (9/5-15/5) staying in Osaka, and do a 2 days day trip to Kyoto.
But, after some discussion with friends, they suggested to spend 2 nights in Kyoto.
So, the new plan is:
9/5/2016 arriving Osaka (KIX) at 10:30pm, find a nearby hotel/capsule hotel to rest.
10/5/2016 head to Kyoto and stay 2 nights there
12/5/2016 head back to Osaka and stay with a house booked via Airbnb

anyone had experience capsule hotel in Osaka before?

Reopen already.
That was since Feb.
Now already Sept

Owakudani still closed.

haihz.. no choice lor.. volcano issue 

still can visit other places and hot spring haha

Just wondering...

Booked a flight to Sapporo next year March for a short trip...

My bad without looking properly at the arrival date and left 3 days exactly from my departure date. Also my partner cannot take so many off days... Anyway, just around RM530 for return flight for 2 person for AAX.

So, let's see what can we do for the best out of these three days... Need some of your suggestion...

Day 1: Midnight flight to Sapporo

Day 2:
Arrived bout 8:30AM local time
- Plan to do half day skiing at nearby location, any suggestion?
- Any onsen nearby worth a visit?
- at night, if time permit, planning to do King Crab buffet at Nanda.

Day 3:
Otaru - One day trip

Day 4:
Any suggestion?

Day 5:

Morning 8:45am flight home ... arrive KL 5PM?

Wondering if RM1500 is enough for these short trip for 1 person? Exclude accommodation with breakfast buffet and flights.

I had just booked and paid Tokyo Dome Hotel Sapporo at a very wowed price for all my nights... ^^

I will be in tokyo for 10 days. I will be using metro 3 day ticket, but the ticket is only valid for 3 days. After 3 days, can I purchase another metro 3 day ticket to be used for next 3 days  ?

lucaswjk Sounkyo those hiking trails to the mountain summit how hardcore is it? Wear normal sneakers can liao or must buy those real hiking boots?

[edit] hmm some blog say if wanna hike to the peak need proper shoes or rent boots

http://www.frommers.com/destinations/sounkyo/620241

I suppose in October it will be farking cold as well huh. Gotch go down to 0deg?

Summoning RegentCid oso.

[edit2] hmm it seems around mid September the summit already normally snowed in and no more colours. And in early October when we go probably it will be snow, ice and mud. Is it adviseable for two 30-something inexperienced hikers to go up? Footwear, I read that can rent rubber boots from 7th station Hut?

sifus,

would it be possible for one day trip to Kamakura + Enoshima? worth it to purchase Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass?

i will be staying in Hakone for 1 night and plan to go Fuji Q highland next day. should i purchase Fuji Hakone Pass or i just go with the Hakone Pass plus paying extra transport to Fuji Q? it might not really worth it as i don't really explore Fuji surrounding area right?

as Day 6 need to rush back ryokan for the dinner around 7pm (fix timing for dinner). enough time to go Gotemba after the Hakone loop? won't be in Fuji Q be whole day as some of my friends not dare to ride those too extreme games  that's why thought after check out Hakone go to Fuji Q than only go Gotemba after that back to Shinjuku accommodation and stroll Golden Gai at night.

RC sifu, how about other days? will it be too rush or packed? do you have any places that i should go but i have miss out? 

i stay in hakone yumoto. the ryokan i stayed included dinner already..

huh? which day is messy? omg.. sifu can provide some tips?    i use the google map and japan guide to plan the place.    already put to place to go nearby area. by the way i stay in shinjuku area so the last place i go is around the area

Thanks.. how about for Sight seeing?
I think would go for Osaka... loves Food
