Guys/gals, how to deal with luggage on final day when flight is in the evening?

6.25pm depart Narita.

Since my AirBnB gonna be 2 stops away from tokyo station, my thought is check out in the morning, go tokyo station, put bag in luggage coin locker, then go soapland do a half day worth of whatever, then back to tokyo pick up bag and go to Narita in the afternoon.

Sounds good?

If no coin locker is available for your luggage size, there is a left luggage counter at tokyo station too.
*
Left Luggage Counter Service price almost similar to ''Ta Q Bin'' service already. That why most Japanese never used Left Luggage Counter Service

Hi guys... I am going to Kumamoto from 20th Jan till 13th Feb for some short-term education program. This will be my first time travelling to a country with 4 seasons, so this will be first experience with winter. So just want to ask a few things here.

1. I see the weather reports saying the winter now is not so 'winter-ish' with higher temperatures and less snow. So what kind of winter wear should I bring along? Thermals? Windbreaker? Winter jackets? How about shoes? Normal shoes will do? Or do I need special winter shoes / boots?

*
You no need Winter jacket for Kyushu. It won't snow. Temperature always around 10 - 15 Celsius on Winter.
Just Imagine you at Genting Highland only.

How about for ski and snowboarding activity? I guess the snow should be adequate especially those on the ski resort high mountain. (e.g. Niseko)

Most of Ski Resort have thier own Website. The web will show current situation. Live on Video
From there you can get snow detail.

Que at the non-reserved cabin? like how? 1 long line along the aisle and the front person gets to sit first even though the empty seat is at the last row?

Just Q to get into train cabin. Even seat is full still can standing. Until it really full then officer only stop people continue going in. My record was from Tokyo standing all the way to Akita.
This is non reserve seat fun part.

RegentCid sacwoc Samurai you gotch go Odawara plum festival before? Looks quite interesting but I'm wondering if it would be wise to prioritize that over other more 'traditional' Tokyo day trips like Nikko, kamakura, kawaguchiko etc (I never been to any outlying area from Tokyo lol).

Thinking Odawara castle, then lunch, then plum festival, then go matsuda if the early blooming Sakura varieties are already out.
*
I will choose Odawara plum festival

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!
*
Refer to page 1
Willer Express

Cheapest

The Main shop was near to Tamade Station 玉出駅 which is outside of Osaka City. For time saving & easy access factor, This tips will be shown Namba Station Branch.

The shop was on underground passage link between Nankai Namba Station & Osaka Metro Midosuji Line Namba Station. Refer to Map

RC, do u know where to find this in Osaka, Kyoto or maybe Tokyo, looks delicious, wanted to try it, they use fresh octopus then press it
I only know Enoshima got this but wonder osaka kyoto or tokyo got o not.

This thing been exclusive right by owner.
Osaka & Kyoto don't have.
Tokyo have one very very very very extremely small branch. Near Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station B2 Exit (Toei Oedo Subway Line // Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line). Walk 10 Minute. Near to Maruetsu Mall.

I still Prefer main Shop at Enoshima. It didn't have same feeling......
Enoshima still the best

Kansai - Kyoto
Kyoto - Osaka

Using Haruka & Icoca bundle pass ok?

Osaka - Nara
Nara - Kobe
Kobe - Osaka

Use Kansai Thru pass or Icoca more worth it?
*
Next time dont type this way. People will laugh at you
Please put as Kansai Airport.
If you put kansai means osaka , Kyoto , Kobe , Wakayama , Nara all combine together called Kansai.

Kansai to Kyoto...... what the hell. It took me awhile to figure out. You say this to Japanese later ppl think yiu from kampung live in tree.
