Anyone know if Namba Station have luggage storage (those we pay a fee and temporarily leave our big luggage there)?

Mostly ppl told me key locker to store big bags, not sure a big travel luggage can fit.

Am taking the airport express from Namba Station.. and tat is nearer from my hotel. Cannot imagine dragging my luggage to shinsaibashi

I am taking night flight home, not sure my hotel will keep my luggage as I already check-out by then, since they have very limited space to keep luggage.

How you get around Kyoto? Got cycle? Am calculating whether cycle save time or walk fast fast + public transport faster. As I only have 2 days there.. greedily wanna cover more sightseeing.

Could I know how could I check train cost in Japan?
Just like our LRT online checking system.
I found JR one only.

Then on second day, took Haruka Ltd Express to Kyoto Station, stayed at Stella Higashiyama guest house there for 3 nights, the rooms were roughly RM90/night (solo room). It is a very clean guest house, furnitures all very new. Staffs are friendly and nice, and cute also .

if i posted here ppl ll know who i am liao
bcoz i booked 6 months in advance via agoda

basically ALL shrines in Kyoto are worth visiting, because there are well maintained and clean, the souvenirs such as talisman are handcrafted and each temple have their own talisman 

Tenmangu got 2 buffalo statues of which you can touch its horn, which people say can bring good luck to you

Thanks for the tips! I have 5 nights booked through Airbnb's private apartment, so no breakfast. Will try to source for foods from their wet market, convenient shops or budget food chain.

We are food lovers, don't think we can resist fingers food on the streets and I am quite flexible on the food budget though. ☺

Kyoto 3 nights near Gojo and Kiyomizu-Gojo station, Osaka 2 nights near to Shin-Osaka station.
