QUOTE(Human Nature @ Jun 25 2015, 09:56 AM) wah got blog liao! haha....itu blog sudah lama ada loh...QUOTE(AeronBabe @ Jun 25 2015, 10:01 AM) I hope thats yen. If max 1 night, then is it possible to switch in between accommodations during that 2-3 nights? I went on 8th Jan week. It's actually low season in Japan at that time so it was not that pack with tourist. I didnt have to do any bus reservation at all too. Shimizu Inn is nice. It's not in the town centre so you won't have tourist walking around outside. I think around 10minutes walk from town centre but it's really not an issue. I will be staying here again on my next year visit nice photos was it crowded during your trip in Jan? - as in your inn and the town itself Rate is around 9200yen per person and includes dinner + breakfast. |

QUOTE(Devil4life @ Jun 26 2015, 05:54 PM) How much was your flight ticket? Air asia I presume? my AA flight ticket is RM1100.00 for two pax return KUL/Kansai/KUL It's my first time to Japan so most likely will be doing touristy stuff. Have you start booking your accommodation? Btw, I might be going Onsen. I've searched that Kobe's Arima Onsen is quite popular in kansai area. If I don't plan to stay overnight (as it seems quite exp), is it sufficient for me to cover Kobe or better 2 days to spend there? Main purpose in Kobe is try kobe beef, Chinatown walk walk, earthquake museum, mount rokko. If got time will slot in onsen. not yet add in meals, choosing seats and baggage la I've booked all my hotel accommodations d Arima onsen is actually near to Mount Rokko so yeah, you can slot in some onsen Good luck in arranging your trip! |

QUOTE(mamasos @ Jun 29 2015, 11:23 AM) lol my bad, 1500 for one only haha....i love onsen! imagine sitting in a hot outdoor rotenburo naked while watching snow, mountains, feeling the cold air on your skin..... , wah so many onsen and i like buffet dinner after onsen  . you no visit nara? I have a day in Kyoto only, planning to go Kiyomizu-dera temple, Nishiki Market, etc...Nara maybe on my next next year trip and yes, planning to ski too. But if in the end we don't ski, Nozawa onsen is still nice to walk around bcos it's a village with many things to see and eat. Also, alot of onsen!
