QUOTE(michlove @ Jul 14 2015, 11:17 AM) Shinjuku no cheap accommodation. all above RM300++ Silly me.. I forgot to include that haha. when you say cheap, pls mention your budget range too la  Budget around rm400-500 (keeping it rm100 per person) In that case are there any places with cheap accommodation that would be near to the subway?

QUOTE(shaohui @ Jul 14 2015, 11:20 AM) I would recommend sakura hotel ikkebukuro. Its a guesthouse but they have private rooms too. Rates are good. Thanks, I was quite interested with living at Jinbocho because its nearer to Tokyo but its not available during my days there.. Anyway thanks for the tips!  QUOTE(michlove @ Jul 14 2015, 11:56 AM) last time i stayed at Nishi Shinjuku Hotel Mystays. Very near JR Shinjuku station and it was convenient for me since I had JR pass and I also need to travel to alot places. Room rate was RM300 for two pax per night. If this is your first time to Japan, well, i suggest you stay at a happening area. Shinjuku is just so bright at night and so many ppl to see and so happening! Thank you first for suggesting that but it seemed that its not available during my stay there (and its quite expensive too!)   |

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Nov 10 2015, 11:23 PM) You have to buy at Malaysia using RM or CC only. I thought they accept yen also hahahaha since its listed yen in the websites. Anyway thanks for the explanation!How can you using Yen at Malaysia? JR rail Pass you brought at Malaysia just a Exchange Order. Later Reach Japan have to used this Exchange Order change it into JR Rail Pass at Japan Airport // Major JR Station at Travel Service Center. You have to show them Passport + Exchange Order + Fill in a application form This is the Exchange Order that buy at Authorize Travel Agency at Malaysia.  |

Hi guys, another question, I have...
Based on Hyperdia there is a shinkansen train (Hikari 493) that departs from Shin-Yokohama straight to Hiroshima but the info is not same as japan-guide.com website (need to change line as the last station for Hikari ends at Okayama). Should I refer directly to Hyperdia for more safer reference? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Thanks! |

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Nov 11 2015, 03:48 PM) Yes. You need do one transfer. Hey thanks for your info! I realized they are of different line but this still confuse me a little. I check their shinkansen timetable for westbound (here) and look for H493 (Hikari 493) and found that the last stop is Hiroshima. Is it they have a single journey everyday that is special from Shin-Yokohama to Hiroshima?From Tokyo to Shin Osaka are belong Tokaido Shinkansen. From Shin Osaka to Hakata are Sanyo Shinkansen. The only train run fully are "Nozomi" class only. Some Hikari exteded journey to Himeji, some to Okayama. Mostly stop at Osaka. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Please advise!  thanks! |

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Nov 11 2015, 05:37 PM) The time table you get from JR official web then can be trusted. ya weh like 6am, but I will travel from Shinjuku > Shibuya > Kikuna > Shin Yokohama then only to Hiroshima early in the morning like 5am (5.01 to be exact). I will be using JR pass so I dont need to buy the ticket one day early right... Since the train was so early in morning. I suggest you buy the ticket one day early. |
