come, share your beutiful gokayama pictar

im going to Japan Next Year End.

Should i be changing some YEN now? The Rate 1000Yen for RM35.5

cannot give advice, for me 35.5 is slightly above average for this 5 years
last year around this time is the lowest RM28~30 for 1000yen

wat camera u use?
coz normally camera is not compatible with winter, the fog might spoil it

Is it possible to visit Bamboo Grove and Kinkaku-ji in only half day? btw I will be staying Kyoto downtown.

maybe yes, if u do kinkaku first cuz the place dont have much except for the temple.
bamboo groove is huge if u wan to consider it as a tour around arashiyama

Went to Nagoya...last week at Toyota Museum .Entrance Fee ¥1000 per person

No one answer me, I'm sad

Thank you
Quite rush as I still want to go Fushimi Inari Shrine the next early morning to avoid the crowd.

Yup, if u can spare the whole day for kinkaku n arashiyama than it would be nice.
Is good to go fushimi inari early as possible, otherwise susah for u take pics at the thousand tori gates

Hi..

I got 2 questions:
1) What's the benefits of buying that Suica & monorail card at Haneda airport??

2) That JR rail pass - must deliver to home? Cannot just collect in Japan?

7 days for RM1000+ .... really not cheap.

Nothing happening during that period,because its holiday season normally from 25 December until 3rd January 2016. Lots of people are going to shopping. Some of Japanese will going to pray at Jinja.

so on that period nothing much happening in Tokyo?

Thanks.

but according to the website, JR pass can only be purchased from overseas, no?? Can still buy when arrive in tokyo?

that price is the standard ordinary 7 days pass. Costs $230 USD.

there are many type of JR pass that offer different discount depending on which area u wan to cover.

u may want to check this out if u hv not -> http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pass/

JR Rail Pass cannot buy at Japan!!! Must Buy at Malaysia only.
What you get was just an Exchange Order!!!
Get this Exchange Order to JR Office once you reach Japan Airport.
Exchange Order + your Passport + fill up a form only can receive your JR Rail Pass.


Just tell them refer to Page 1

thanks but I already checked that.
This is only a regional pass.

I want to go from Tokyo - Kyoto - Osaka then Tokyo again. I was wondering if it's possible to buy 2 regional pass instead. Maybe it's cheaper?
Like Kansai regional pass and JR East regional pass? But these two regions don't overlap. How to change train??
Have to buy a separate train ticket then?
