Have a question, is there any luggage storage facility at Gotemba? Can't find any, and is't the storage at Shinjuku station can be use for continuously in several day?
*
Yes. There are luggage storage at Gotemba Station.
Best way was used "Black Cat" Service once you check out from Shinjuku Hotel. Ask them sent to your next Kawaguchi Hotel.

It will save you alot of time, because you no need waste time go back to Station reclaim your bag.

Hi Guys,

I am planning for Hokkaido-Tokyo trip on mid Oct.
For now the plan is Travel to Hokkaido on 17th Oct, then to Tokyo on 22th Oct, and back to KL on 29th Oct.

Is my timing at Hokkaido right for autumn leaves?
And is it high season for seafood at that point of time?

Thankssss in advance!
*
Mid of October are Hokkaido best timing for autumn view. It also Hokkaido most expensive time.
Seafood at Hokkaido also high season from Sept - Jan.

1st class King Crab price are most expensive at this period.
2nd Class Ekizen Crab price are higher than normal due to high tourist season.
3rd class Hairy Crab will be cheap because high season...alot of catch.

8k~15k/person/night consider cheap ? wow ... I really makan beras tak tau harga beras, just because due to cheap air tickets only buy, without thinking the travel cost there.

sep-jan low yield for those crab ?
what is the price for those 3 crabs normally?
really need to survey first.. else later over budget.

RC,

need your help  blush.gif

Refer to below Pass :
The Marugoto Nikko Kinugawa Free Pass includes the round trip from Tokyo and unlimited travel on trains between Nikko and the Kinugawa and Yunishigawa area and on buses from central Nikko to Okunikko and in the Kinugawa and Yunishigawa area. The pass is valid on four consecutive days.

Just to double confirm, the above pass can take any bus company in Nikko? Or there is only one bus company in Nikko? Thanks!
*
Tobu Company only.
BTW, I prefer Tobu ALL Nikko Pass.

neone cycle around Kyoto b4?
certain area din show parking space (according to tat website).
n i know in japan, kenot simply park ur bicycle. iinm transit/metro doesnt allow bike in. n if so, how bout foldable bike?
*
Must follow this Rulez
http://www.japancycling.org/v2/info/rinko/rinko.shtml
Plus the famous line are full of people. If you bring bike inside, people will sound you badly. wasting alot of space.
Better don't. Not advised

Kyoto Bus system was so perfect. I prefer Bus than cycle Bike.

Sounds terrible... Rm500 for 10 days insurance... Hmmm

Car insurance consider cheap.
Wait until you sick in Japan.
Example Fever. See Doctor at Japan due to your are not resident of Japan.
Consultation fees just for fever already RM1500. + Medicine......total easily Rm2000 ++

If you don't have insurance, later car accident......Prepare to pay Rm100k for medical fees
Pay Rm500 and get cover by Insurance or pay RM100k by own?

Hi, Im going to Tokyo and Hokkaido this end of November 25/11-3/12.

My itinerary is fly to Obihiro airport > Furano > Biei > Asahikawa > Sounkyo > Daizetsusan > Asahikawa > Sapporo > Otaru > Niseko > Lake Toya > Sapporo > Back to Tokyo.

I was wondering how is the snow condition will be like? is it advisable to drive around Hokkaido?

Im considering either rent a car or buy JR hokkaido pass.
*
Have snow driving exp before?
If no better dont.
Better youtube how to put chain on tyre skill. You will needed it.
November snow still not that scary but still very slippery. If newbie level can be very challenging also.

Day light are very short. 4pm already sunset. Plus snow driving only allow 60km/h at highway and 40km/h at normal road. Need plan longer time put in travel journey.
