i have booked 2 airbnb, under moderate and strict cancellation respectively. even i have free cancellation, will be useless if cherry blossom arrive too early.

might as well now redo back the original plan to reduce visiting parks and do something else since the chances missing the hanami is pretty much higher me too got a few booking that too late to adjust


side note to muslim forummer:

Those that visited kyoto and tried eating at Ayam-Ya before, great news that they just opened their first branch in KLIA2!

will be htere from 11-13 of feb. gonna do tokyo - kanazawa - karuizawa - nozawaonsen - tokyo

wanna learn to ski

I will choose Odawara plum festival

Can anyone download offline map of japan using android?
Mine got error, "This area isn't available offline"

Normal. No offkine maps available for Japan. Nevertheless, Do not clear your historical data & cache b4 you leave Japan. Maintained the Japan maps that you have view vecause you still can view the offline googlemaps in detail & current location without any data although you can't navigate.

Thanks you sifu

Now to hope that the early blooming sakura varieties bloom in early Feb

thanks bro

try nokia here map

RC, been to Kibitsu Shrine and Kibitsuhiko Shrine? interesting shrines in paddy field area

Based on latest news yesterday,starting next 2 weeks..Japan are little bit warm ,no more snow same like Spring season. Lots ski resort are closed due of less of snow this year. If you want snow,Hokkaido are the best option.

Odawara are far far away from my places.

Noted Mr Stimix..

hi @regentcid . It's my first time travelling to Japan and hope I could get the best guide from you.

I've booked flight and AirBnB for my trip that falls on 16 May 2016 to 24 May 2016.

My main concern now is that I'll be around Osaka from 16th May to 19th May. And we plan to go to Tokyo on 19th May yet come back Osaka on 23rd May to catch our flight.
To simplify it.:-
16/5/2016 - 19/5/2016 Osaka
19/5/2016 - 23/5/2016 Tokyo
23/5/2016 - 24/5/2016 Back to Osaka

May I know by travelling like this, which method would u recommend for transportation? Should I purchase JR pass or buy it in Japan instead?
Which is the cheapest way to travel 2 ways between Osaka and Tokyo?

Thank you in advance!

ForlornBrat this kind of never do homework question you surely kena fucuk by RC.

Go Hyperdia or Japan guide and see what is the price of train to/from Tokyo / Kyoto / Osaka.

Then google JR Pass and see what's the price.

Then u will know the answer.

Refer to page 1
Willer Express

Cheapest
