Disagree totally. Three weeks leh, 10 days is more than sufficient to comfortably do all the major attractions in Kansai. Then the next 6-7 days in Tokyo city and another 2-3 days in greater tokyo area. Not touch and go at all doh.gif

well..everyone has different sightseeing preference, it's ok you disagree with me

i am not saying my suggestions are the only correct ones

why need to do tokyo / kyoto / osaka / nara / kobe / hiroshima in 21 days in a trip, and in same season somemore ?

and he stated his gf may not be able to afford 21 days trip...so you gonna sponsor her ?
*
To be fair, kansai 10 days is rush, last time I went 9 days barely go all place, everywhere stay one night aldy left

But tokyo 10 days , maybe fuji 2 days and Tokyo city 8 days , should be fine

But then the rail pass can be cheaper and not required at all, same money

I would stay in put in Tokyo and take the highway bus to visit lake kawaguchiko as well as all the places you mentioned for a day trip if you only plan to stay for 1 night. Moving all your luggage around for short stays is not enjoyable. I know it cos I just did it.

Not bringing luggage , maybe some small backpack for 3days 2 nights, will post forward my luggage from shinjuku to yokohama .

Sure will stay at kawaguchiko and hakone to enjoy their onsen, else I felt wasted

make sapporo your central stay...
then take train to otaru (short trip) and noboribetsu (slightly longer trip than otaru)

Thanks for the reply.otaru maybe I will skip the overnight , but noboribetsu sure will stay one or 2 nights. Plan to stay till very late at otaru, coz hear the night scene at the river super nice, but don't know wat is the last train back to Sapporo. Do you know ?

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jan 5 2017, 11:35 PM)
otaru just do day trip from sapporo (don't bother staying overnight).
noboribetsu stay at least 1 night. lyn recommended ryokan is takimotokan cos the onsen is awesome.
whether to do noboribetsu first or sapporo/otaru first depends on your flight times IMO. example if your arrival into CTS is afternoon then it's probably better to do sapporo first.
*
Ok . Looks like will go to Sapporo before heading to noboribetsu . But my flight back to kl, is Sunday morning 920am japan time, can I get transport to aiport from the onsen hotel in such early timing ?

Hokkaido get dark very early. Also I doubt you will spend until the last train as basically nothing much to do there so late  at night. Was there during winter, took some photos at night, dinner and left about 8:30PM for Sapporo.

Supper etc gua , or drink something while enjoy their scene.... when u say early ,ARD wat time it start to get dark ?

Btw need to go noboribetsu first then Sapporo, else if depart frm noboribetsu on Sunday morning , no transport to catch my early flight at 920am.....

Was there 3 years ago so my memory is still vague. If I remember correctly it start to get dark at 5PM. Went searching for dinner and most shops are close! And it was during Christmas period. There are shops inside the warehouse, but dinner dont look so yummy. I think there are some shops along the river but not sure what time they close. I got bored after a while, thats why I left early. Remembering back I actually stayed a night in Otaru - Dormy Inn which is just opposite the train station. The hotel offer free hot udon, that might also be the reason I left early. smile.gif

I checked the weather , looks like April still OK, sunset at 6pm+ like Malaysia

Just had to hope tat not all shops closed so early .....

Hi guys regarding the takimotokan, what do you all feel about its dinner ? Is it upto the standard ?

In dilemma whether to book the dinner tgt ? As the price raised quite a lot comparing nondinner to dinner. Also I aldy stay at fuji hakone area for 2 nights which includes special Japanese dinner set......

So, Any good dinner restaurant around noboribetsu ?

the only pocket wifi that I will always take from whenever I go Japan is Global Advance Communications.
The coverage is very good even when I'm on top a ski mountain, around 1,000ft.

They deliver the pocket wifi to your hotel at no extra charge if you are unable to pick-up at the airport. They also provide you a self addressed envelope when you need to return it to them. Just drop it into the post box at the airport.

Your suggestion is so exp

It's at this place called 肉屋の台所 宮益坂ミート(near Shibuya crossing). It's not cheap though, at around 11960 yen for two pax(4980 yen for wagyu beef course + 1000 yen for free flow of alcohol). But you get free flow of marbled wagyu beef... drool.gif

Nope.
Not sure, but I think it's worth trying at least once(unless you can find other similar restaurants at a similar price).. laugh.gif
Since I've been eating at those "vending machine restaurants" and McD in Japan during this whole trip, might as well splurge at least once.. innocent.gif

Plan to try Kobe beef again since last time I tried at one of the onsen resort

So good , can't forget the taste
