Pusing pusing around kyoto better by bus or subway?
Will it be mass traffic during sakura?
Bus seems reliable as many tourists spots easily reach by bus. Sked traffic jam.
Please some insight?

I bought the Kyoto City Full Day Bus ticket at Kyoto bus station.
The bus covers majority of tourist spots in Kyoto.

I went Kyoto on public holiday, and I wake up early to avoid the crowd.

The journey how? Massive jam, stuck on the road? Or just acceptable?

Just came back from my trip to Osaka and Tokyo. Really really enjoyed my time there. Felt like 1 week's just not enough. Roughly about my trip:

Haneda Airport -> Osaka -> Tokyo -> Haneda Airport

Places I managed to visit:
Osaka: Nara Park, Kofuku-ji Temple, Shinsaibashi, Dotonbori, Osaka Castle, Universal Studios

Tokyo: Shibuya, Akihabara, Asakusa, Ueno Park, Tokyo Tower, guitar shops in Ochanomizu, that full sized Gundam in Diver City, and a quick stop at Shinjuku (it was raining heavily so couldn't explore much)

My lessons learned:
1) Running shoes is a must! (We walked a lot and my feet ached badly already after 2-3 days there haha.. Doesn't help that my knee pain came back just before my trip)
2) Really need portable wifi to explore more. We relied a lot on Google Maps to find places there. It was really helpful as our AirBnB host in Osaka provided us with one. Oh well, first time there as well and the free wifi in Tokyo's not always good
3) Plan better on where to eat as we couldn't find much options for halal food

Aaandd I'm already planning to go there again hopefully next year! Big thanks as well to some of the tips shared here that I managed to jot down before going! Feel free to shoot any questions if you're planning something similar to my trip (hopefully I can still remember!)  tongue.gif

That is incorrect. Since 2013, all IC cards are compatible with each other and you can use it anywhere in Japan.
