Hi guys,

any advise for ski resort nearby Sapporo? prefer cheap in renting ski equipment, lift as well as with english support.

Currently checking out previous mentioned Kokusai. Anywhere else I can less time traveling n easier to access?

I stayed in Susukino, Sapporo. Do you think I can manage in time to reach CTS Airport and check in baggage in the next morning to catch my AirAsia flight back to KL at 9:20AM? Possible? Or should I stay in Airport Terminal CTS? Or any alternative as in earlier bus or any cheap budget taxi contact available? Taxi may be my last resort...

CTS so near Sapporo of course no problem lar. You can reach CTS at 7.09am. For details go check hyperdia (go to route result page and click 'interval timetable' to find out earliest train schedules).

anyone rent pocket wifi before and used it at japan? is it better than buying a sim card there?

any review?

Guys!

Just wondering what is the best option available for me if i want to fly from Sabah to Tokyo? Making plan for a family trip at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

What is "best?" Cheapest? Shortest flight time? Most comfortable?

Off hand, three options: Malaysia Airlines KK-KL-Tokyo, or Asiana KK-Seoul-Tokyo. Or AirAsia.

Google KK -Tokyo flight.....and you will find the results. Then chose your Best option. I think MAS have direct flight.

MAS does have direct flight from BKI to NRT, 2 flights per week.

Other options transit via Seoul, Hong Kong etc.

TQ for replying

malaysia airlines have direct flight to narita..shortest travelling time but not cheapest

The full budget to travel around Tokyo and Osaka including flight ticket for solo for 5 days?

Yeah... That's a relief...
Before this, I was in doubt. Thanks to Japan Travel Fair in 1U. I asked some of them, they make me quite a bit of worry that I unable to reach CTS in time.

As what they claimed from the fair, they said CTS airport like Subang, limited counter and check in take a LONG time to settle. They afraid I unable to do it. Hence, the doubt came in... That's y double check here, so if really not possible that I would consider re-arrange my accomodation and stay a night in CTS area.

As per JR timetable, Sapporo to CTS earliest train is Rapid Transit at 6:00AM, taking approx. 37minutes.

I m renting this unit from Midvalley/KLIA ... for my jp trip in March... Unlimited Data usage in JP.

Noted.
hahaha... Well, I also wonder how they can end up such ideas n end up standing in the fair n giving out all the information just like tat...

I post CTS Airport info at Page1 under Hokkaido Section.
You can gain info over there.

My original plan was:

26 to 29 April Tokyo
29 to 30 April - Nagoya
30 April to 1 May - Hiroshima
1 to 3 May - Osaka
3 to 5 May - Tokyo


If that is too difficult and risky, I may change to Plan B:

26 to 30 - Tokyo (Disneyland)
30 April to 3 May - Osaka
3 - 5 May - Tokyo

Whats your thoughts?

Is it possible to purchase Tokyo Osaka return Shinkansen ticket before arriving to Japan? If yes, how?

During Golden Week. Reservation seat only reserve for Japanese. 1 week earlier than any foreigners from oversea.
Your chances are only unreserved seat coach. Get ready standing from Tokyo > Osaka > Tokyo
The best of Using JR Rail Pass on Unreserved Seat Coach was you can keep on trying to boarding into the train.
Example:

08:00 Hikari Class
Too many people in Unreserved seat.
Then you can try bounce into the next
08:20 Hikari Class
too Many People again
Then 8:40
the list keep on going.
Find a coach which you think lesser people which is nearly impossible on Golden Week.......

Just pray to god got people in front of you getting down at Shizuoka Station and Nagoya Station. So you got chances to takeover the seat.
to the worst 2 and half hour standing all the way to Osaka Station.

Time to do some exercise.


My Best Advise for you still...forget about City Hopping. Just Focus at Tokyo Only.
Your Visiting Japan timing are totally most worst. The Middle of Golden week. Most Chaos Most Expensive time.....

I was skipping Ikebukuro in my itinerary because there is nothing that catch my eyes (based on japan-guide). Then I go back to the first post and see if I missed anything. Damn..I might miss out the KitKat boutique.

Does that mean japan-guide is not updated?

Nothing special about the KitKat boutique. To me it looks like a small stall/koisk inside the department stalls.. HAHAHA
