QUOTE(stimix @ Jan 18 2016, 01:57 PM) I think the shinkansen stopped @ shin aomori & thereafter slow train to hokkaido. That's why my ori plan to hokkaido via shinkansen had to be scrapped bcos of this! Otherwise 12 hrs by train to hokkaido... Hokkaido Shinkansen will open at this coming 26 March 2016.Anyway, heard shunkansen going to be extended from aomori till hakodate this year but not sure when.. RC might know? From Shin-Aomori Station to Shin-Hakodate Station (Most furthest Shinkansen Station away from City in entire Japan) This Shin-Hakodate Station was 35 Minute away from Hakodate City by taking Taxi.

Looks like they have the same policy if holiday on Sunday will rolloever to the following Monday, which mean 20th and 21st March. Yes. If Sunday was Public Holiday, Monday will get replacement. |

QUOTE(Brandon323 @ Jan 19 2016, 06:10 AM) If one intends to only explore Osaka and Kyoto, 3 days each, do we need to buy the JR West Passes? Or is it cheaper to buy those individual trip tickets cos if we land at Osaka, we will stay there maybe 3 days, then take the train to Kyoto for 3 days and then return to Osaka for flight back? Any other tips on how to go about exploring the 2 cities, meaning best mode of transport within Osaka and Kyoto? TQ in advance! Osaka and Kyoto are JR killer .No point buy JR passes. You need another pass. It called KTP. Do more homework. |

QUOTE(stimix @ Jan 19 2016, 04:03 PM) I hv been traveling for ages lah...anyway i dunwan to argue wth u & let me chk again. Most of japanese hotels actually welcome xtra pax without any charges. I'm sure I hv chk. I will lodge a complain wth agoda for sure. I'm not new wth them & been using them since early 2000. Stimix , This Kinki Hotel should put to ends.Not hotel fault. Is you miss one thing. You go Kinki Hotel again by agoda. Choose any date, then choose double bed （I assume you should choose this room）. Then you click Book. At Information Payment Section they already mention this hotel no Accept any Extra adding bed policy. Just have to blame yourself. This post has been edited by RegentCid: Jan 19 2016, 05:36 PM |

QUOTE(porkieporkie @ Jan 19 2016, 07:55 PM) Hi, would like to know whether it is advisable to stay in The Stay Sapporo Hostel where the nearest subway(Shiseikanshogakko-Mae) is 8mins walk away and we intend to lug our luggage there. Will there be any problem lugging luggage in snow(sorry, first time going for a snow winter trip)? What months you going? End of Jan or Feb or March?For winter activities, e.g snowboarding/skiing/tubing/luging, will it be better to take the package for Niseko/Tomamu/Sahoro or to go one of their parks like Takino Suzuran Park? Is the experience around the same? If End of Jan to Early March are thickest snow. No way you can lug it on snow. First time skiing? I recomemded you Sapporo Kokusai 札幌国際スキー場スキーセンター |

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Jan 21 2016, 01:34 PM) haha post here means ask you also lor. I already used google map street view to walk along the whole bank. Just duno when will the food stalls open. I will be there end of March. If they only open in April, I prefer to go start from northside. My Version will be Walk along river bank around Temmabashi Station. Then Take Train to Naniwabashi Station continue enjoy the Island at middle of Osaka City (Nakanoshima 中之島). Then from Naniwabashi Station to Nakanoshima Station). Walk 15 minute to 中之島GATEサウスピア Osaka newest Hit area. eat cheap seafood + Enjoy River View + Skyline. QUOTE(cloudwan0 @ Jan 21 2016, 01:34 PM) if u access by sakuranomiya station, after walk out from Exit 1, turn right This one too normal. Forever alone style. Kesian eating bento.walk all the way to T-junction, at ur left hand site got a lawson, buy bento and have meal inside the park under sakura tree  Unless you are very budget type.

KL > Osaka > Takayama > Kyoto > KL Just came back from Takayama last week If I stayed another week I could have experience more snow But after -8c at Shin-Hotaka, I am glad I found the sun But Shin-Hotaka Ropeway Impress. Well Done. If you got going to Gokayama , Ainokura , Suganuma. Then Will be Big Bonus Up. Big Reward as unusual plan as others. Overall I give u score 78/100.

Shirawago , Gokayama , Ainokura, Suganuma All same same. Nothing much different. The point was since already there, why not visit all.
