Good news for you.
I saw this bag at Shinjuku Lumine Est Department Store. If you used Google Map, It just beside Shinjuku Station.

7 Hour transit can be done.

1st you just need buy NEX Narita Express Train 2 Way Ticket to Shinjuku Station.

I may still be doing my homework for japan atm and have never been there. But from my homework, it seems like your Day 8 will be a very tiring one...

Day 8_Tokyo
-Mount Fuji
-Edo-Tokyo Museum
-Tokyo Tower
-Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

If time is an issue, then I might scrap out Nagoya for the time being. Currently any iconic places which I have missed out? Like the old saying if u dint visit the Great Wall of china mean u never been to China.

I been Japan more than 500 times. Example Osaka City. I know this City sure more than anyone else. If you want cover 100% Osaka City like me, It need took you 3 months. If you want cover 45% of Osaka like most of Forumers here, It need takes you 7 days minimum just at Osaka City.

9 Days want cover 4 city means will be very packed. No point I give you more info, because you won't enough time cover it also. September are Japan hottest season summore and Typoon season. Typoon comes , everything will be closed, train service will be shut down.

Get ready to face raining all days long.

You and your bro are backpacking?

From Kyoto to Nagoya to Tokyo, I feel is a bit too rush for 1 day in Nagoya.

From Tokyo to Mount Fuji area, travelling time is close to 2hr one-way. Even if depart early and rush, will at least take you half a day for it

I won't say to cover 100%, just that if Osaka what the most worth place to visit that all. Yea I know if want cover onc city definitely need to take longer. Just that this trip will be good if can covered the iconic places that all(again not all). There will be a second visit to Japan for sure. Even the forumer here sure have visited more than once.

Erm, will not consider as backpacking but will be more like flexible traveling. If time permit then will visit more places, if not then will need to improvised abit.

For Mt.fuji alone it takes more than 2 hours to reach there. And you'll have to choose between Fujikawaguchiko or Hakone to spend a whole day on too. By the time you reached Tokyo, it would've been at late evening or at night. The only thing you can do by then is just stand outside of tokyo tower and admire its night illuminations.... assuming you still have energy to do that.

DAY 8 is impossible

Tokyo to Mount Fuji also need more than 1 hour and there is alot of things u can explore in Mount Fuji area. I would stay 1 night at Mount Fuji area if I plan to visit Mount Fuji.

Please Quote All the message you want to Reply and reply at one like this way.

Most forumer here been Japan more than once but most of them are going part by part. 7 - 9 days just at Osaka + Kyoto + Nara + Kobe. Another trip will be 7 days at Tokyo it self.

based on your itinerary
i think he meant...cut down places and stay longer at 1 area to explore more
dnt jump different city every 2-3 days which is clearly not enough
most ppl here...if say their trip is 7 days..they'll stay the whole 7 days at tokyo(and its not enough)
or go osaka, they'll stay 7 days around that area too..they won't jump jump from osaka to tokyo for 7 days itinerary
im going tokyo for 8 days in december...im staying all the way at tokyo

Noted on the quoting for reply.

That the case, I'll replan my trip and focus more to one place. As u mentioned previously September will be hot and it typhoon season it's advisable to travel Tokyo (middle side) first or Osaka (downward side) for first timer?

Not sure is this appropriate to ask about airline (to JP) on here or not, but I gonna ask it anyway.

For anyone that ever flew from SIN to either NRT or HND, between JAL, ANA and SIA (any other full-service airline is fine too), which airline is better in terms of airline meals and seat comfortability (economy seats BTW )?

Consider to make a Plan B (8-11 days Kanto area trip on March/May 2017) if my current company (worked in SG for about 3 months so far) doesn't approve my leave for my JP trip in October....

Airline Route , Meal , Seat Comfort Question Ok. As long not Promo , Ticket pricing.
Fly ANA. The Best. 2nd Choice SIA, 3rd Choice JAL.

ANA Service are always top of top and meal they serve are delicious.

But if you can do 1 transit at Seoul. Then Fly Asiana. The Best Airline Meal I ever had.


If you haven't buy air ticket yet.
I Suggest you 9 Days just Focus at Osaka , Kyoto , Nara , Kobe.
You won't regret it. 100% trust me.
