look like you are a player focus on those theme park
prepare to queue, you going for 8 days, im curious how you going to play all the theme park
ski take 1 days,
disneyland, disney sea and universal studio, each take 2 days, so 6 days
you only left 1 day

Just got back from Osaka & Kyoto.  Please dont bother with any pass if you only visit this area.   Just buy the ICOCA Haruka card (macam our TouchNGo but incl Express Train from airport to osaka/kyoto) and thats enough.  Those passes are overpaid cos you will end up use train, subway and buses and those pass dont cover all this cos only cover train/rail saja.    And on most areas, you will be walking alot from one place to another even.  Just enjoy the trip and dont think of saving pennies when you already spend pounds.

And oh ya, the queue at KIX counter on the 1st floor is pretty long if you touch down around 6-7am in the morning.  So be prepared to queue for 1 hr at that time.   If you arrive after 9am is better cos more counters are open.  FYI.

i plan to only take 1 day for each venue. so 4 days for those theme park. another 4 days jalan2, makan2, shopping2.

wow, thanks for the info!! 1 hour que at kix.. thats crazy   

ytd i start working with Kyoto Itinerary and found that most of the place nid walk walk walk walk
and im still thinking how to go golden pavilion from arashiyama station and then back to shijo station as im staying at mystays shijo 

will be staying at kyoto for 2 days, first day will go fushimi inari that side, second day will be going to arashiyama and golden pavilion that side, any other place to recommend that must go?

Going to Gala Yuzawa is not cheap either. You can consider this pass : https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/tokyowidepass/

For Takayama, I would suggest to take bus

Go do some googling yah

Thanks! Looks like a great pass...I wonder if I can get to Gotemba using this pass..

i dont think 1 day enough for the theme park, you might consider go 1 first for 3 days, the ticket will be cheaper
dont waste all ur time at theme park, japan got too many place to visit.

from arashiyama, take randen up to kitano, from there take bus or walk to kinkakuji..to return, take bus to kitaoji station, then subway to shijo..or rely on bus all the way..simple
i did 1 day for disneyland and 1 day for disneysea..if you plan to do all attractions, of course 2 days also may not be enough

At Kyoto, recommend to use Kyoto City Bus & Kyoto Bus One-Day Pass
500 Yen only unlimited ride per day!

i will need kansai thru pass as i will be going to Himeji , Kobe and Nara from Osaka. That will save me alot.
Other that KIX counter, where else can I buy Kansai Thru Pass?
