Remember to try Sagano train.
the temples can be connected with Kyoto bus.

Last time i go during sakura and autumn leave season, traffic still ok.
Most of the tourism place can be reach easily by bus but subway have to walk a bit.

He went Japan many times d lor....

Yet to plan my trip itinerary and only flight ticket bought... Will give this thread a read through...

Will be in Japan for 13 Days 12 Nights on end January with a total of 5 people... Landing in Tokyo and Leaving from Tokyo...

I am thinking...

Tokyo --> Kyoto --> Osaka --> Tokyo

Made my first mistake I guess, should have considered multi city flight via ANA airlines for a couple of hundred extra... But travelling back and forth to the airport gonna cost time and money right?

For me, taking shinkansen is more worth compare to flight in term of time.

Take the 7 days JR nationwide pass.

yeah thought of that too, thanks

wah dont say like that, other sifu here will laugh at me le..i thought you went more than me too. by the way, 3 months to go

LOL....time to countdown! See you in Japan....haha

Remember to buy at JR counter at Kansai Airport when you reached. if not will sold out...

Is there a Tokaido Shinkansen Only Rail Pass?

Will be going to Gifu - Snow Country next week...!!!

already did my calculation i think should be fine considering we gonna hoping train / subway. some more this pass cover bus. at least we can estimate how much the transportation cost for that day.

2 days Kansai Thru Pass: Y4000
2 days JR West Pass: Y4300

another pass that I think usefull is Osaka Amazing Pass. Havent study completely yet but I think worth it for those who want to pusing pusing around Osaka.

Bro, reserve some energy for your in room activity since you're going on your honeymoon. You only honeymoon once in a lifetime.

i remember RC or mich saying tht Osaka amazing pass is nt amazing at all and is not worth at all? hahahaha

maybe tell us what pass are you using for the transport too, if any, or just icoca. why need so many station transfer for the 4th day from shijo to arashiyama? and if you are using the bus pass, might as well take the bus from kitano to kinkakuji. 3rd day so bare?
if you want to use osaka subway (without the admission discount), may consider eco card or 1 day subway pass too, better than amazing pass.

to make it simple, at the moment my itinerary will be for KTP pass.. not sure worth o not since i not yet start doing research on other pass, i choose KTP pass in the first place coz last few version of "Travel to Japan" thread all recommend KTP

3rd day still dono wan to add what in.. nid to draft something out first to motivate myself to continue

if you are using KTP then from shijo, just use subway to uzumasa, then randen to arashiyama..hankyu is slower and the station is further. then from golden pavi, take bus to kitaoji and take subway all the way to shijo. faster.

KTP is good but the cost is higher too. not worth it if you use it in one city (kyoto) alone, might as well rely on 1 day passes and icoca. do the comparison.
