where can I use a Mac computer?

I want to transfer photos from my camera to my external hard disk, but my hard disk can only be read from a Mac computer.

they don't have library with Macbook??? Or cybercafe maybe??

Is it better to visit Nara (daytrip) from Kyoto or from Osaka? Which is more convenient?

Also, any recommendation on where to visit nearby Tokyo? (other than Nikko)

the JR rail pass right, do they give any extra benefits other than the travel from city to city??

for example, can they be used within cities like Osaka or Kyoto? Do they give discount when you buy entrance tickets to certain sights?

Does it include JR buses btw?

I'm thinking of getting the other Tokyo Wide 3D pass.

Τhanks.
I'll be flying to Tokyo and from there, I think I'll be using the JR rail pass. I only got 7 days max down south, then need to return to Tokyo. I also plan to buy a Tokyo Wide pass for 3 days to visit around Tokyo.

How would you balance 7 days for Kyoto and Kansai region? Are the Himeji and Miyajima worth going?

I think the best (and cheap) strategy is to divide Japan into north and south. So, if you go to Kyoto and Kansai region, can get the JR Kansai pass which is way cheaper than JR pass. Then next time, visit Tokyo and buy the JR East pass.

I was stupid. Didn't think about this.
I bought my flights to Tokyo and now I've to move in circles. Tokyo-Kyoto then go back Tokyo again.

2 weeks. So I think I'll spend 1 week near Tokyo. Any recommendation for excursion outside Tokyo??

thanks!! Will have a look.

Thanks!! I plan to buy this pass once I reach there.

but have to read a lot on what's included and what's not included. Different pass is valid on different trains.

Just got my JR pass. Documents like this also need to send by post??

could have just done it by email.

I don't mean to be demeaning; what I meant was things could be digitalised.
Like buying air tickets. They don't send you a copy of your air tickets, do they?

eh.... boss!! I just checked my exchange order. It has no cop on it. Everything is just printed. Should I be worried??

Can others who used JR rail pass confirm this too?

Japan Rail Pass by Japan Experience. I got:
- 1 copy of Japan Rail Pass user guide,
- Japan by Train (Map and Time tables)
- Exchange order.
- resit of my purchase.

That's all.
On the exchange order, everything is printed out. No stamp, cop or anything like that. Got printed bar code lah.

oh, thanks! Hopefully no problem.

Don't want to go there and suddenly, "Oops!! No stamp, so not valid!"

Mine is all printed in black ink, looks nice and professional, on a piece of sheet but thicker than a piece of paper. No red stamp.
On this sheet, they printed two exchange orders - 1 passenger copy, and 1 exchange coupon.

Should be fine lah! No worries!! Time to enjoy cherry blossom!
