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

Hi..

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

easy to travel around tokyo n can use in many convenient shop and food stall, other option u can consider is tokyo metro discount pass http://www.tokyometro.jp/en/ticket/index.html

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

U can purchase at the airport, just show em ur passport.

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

wow, wat kinda pass is that bro

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.
