er... wanna ask it is ok to go okinawa in early march to do some beach activity?

Well I did manage to avoid booking the ticket on Obon, that'll be a nightmare Everything has already been taken care off, just need to plan out how many sticks of deodorant I need to bring.

For now it seems the events for August are still not listed. Missed the Music Festival just by a day, dang that sucks.

Most of my trips are short and centred around only in Tokyo. If it's around 26C - 31C as well I can handle that. I've had worse heat but not as humid as the weather report shows. Thanks, I'll remember to stay hydrated.

Well it will be more than 32C especially in the afternoon. The humidity is totally different from KL. It is even worse than the summer in Melbourne which can hit 40C. So yes, do stay hydrated

Do more indoors than outdoor. On the good side, matsuri will be a lot of fun

The August festival list is out. Its in Japanese but maybe you can Google translate to English.

Everything is in goddamn Kanji! I thought I've mastered moon runes with over 400 hours invested into JAVs.

Thanks, at least I can make out the dates and some of the places. I might be able to catch the Samba Festival in Asakusa in 28th. Matsuri and the chance to see yukata babes are the only reason why I'm not just gonna let the ticket burn. If I have to suffer at least let me scoop some goldfish!

Just want ask all sifu here.
Currently im planning to travel from osaka to arashiyama by hankyu pass[800 yen].
I would like to purchase the one day bus pass in kyoto.
Where can i get this pass beside kyoto station since im not stopping there?

Thank You

HAHAHAHAHAHA as long as you can read the location, time and date - you won't go wrong! Yeah the Samba festival looks interesting, but also try to make it for the hanabi! There's one in Yokohama at the end of August. I'm sure it'll be a sight, since Yokohama port is beautiful at night. lololl yukata babes... "goldfish man"!

have anyone here booked hotel rooms via airasiago?

is it based on the room price or price per person?

coz airasiago display price per room, scared that if i purchase the room rightaway, sampai sana suddenly got extra fee to pay

If you book together with air ticket is counted per person. Rooms is per night

anybody been to fuji-q highland?

oh thanks

but this one i book without the flight ticket (i already bought ANA last night), is it still counted as per night or per person?
there will be 2 person for the room

Nope. Okinawa beach activities is started from Apr.

early march... temp will probably wont even be higher than 15c, and might go down to 5 maybe?
beach activities will not make much sense

Hi Folks,

Japan trip for April is what I had in mind for next year. First of all, I'm looking either to buy JAL or ANA or VN. I've flown ANA and VN before and both are just great. I'm arranging a trip for 6 adults and 2 toddler, below 2 y.o. I believe the weather there in Japan is rather comfortable for the kids as well.

The trip will be consist of 12 days. And the adults want to go USJ and Disneyland, it's the first time for them. Hence, I would have to include Osaka & Tokyo as part of the plan.

Initially I have in mind is to arrive in Osaka and enjoy the USJ theme park. Then next would be Kyoto through JR Shinkansen and lastly arrive in Tokyo before depart back to KL.

Osaka -> Kyoto -> Tokyo

But the flights, I would have to find landing in Osaka and fly back from Tokyo. Not sure if ANA, JAL or VN has the best price for these flights schedule. Mostly from what I saw at ANA and JAL were either Osaka or Tokyo return flights.

Has anyone had the similar travel plan or itinerary for this route?

Try lookout for thai airways too... I got my return tickets to Tokyo last March for only RM999 departing from KL. But not so sure for KL-Osaka-Tokyo.. but do give it a try.. excellent flight and service.

If you are having toddler in the group, I would suggest you take a direct flight instead of transiting. Dont think it is worth it to save a few $$ with all the hassle.

Also from Osaka-Kyoto, you dont need to take the shinkansen. Normal JR train can take you there in less than an hour.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've checked BudgetAir and was given Singapore airlines as alternative as well. RM1,500 below

I'm always on direct flight, I'm putting in transit as alternative if the price is too high for direct tickets.

As for the Osaka-Kyoto, I'm looking forward to purchase the 7 days JR Pass to travel from Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo. Hence I guess using it should be quite worth it when I starts to depart from Osaka heading to Kyoto and then Tokyo.

However, I would first have to find flights and pricing wise to fit in the schedule of KL-Osaka,Tokyo-KL. If the pricing is too expensive, I would have to opt KL-Osaka-KL or KL-Tokyo-KL return flights from a single location.

If you are just doing Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo, the JR pass is not worth it at all. Unless you do a return trip. It cost you about 15,000yen only for a one way trip. And you will not always use JR in Osaka and Tokyo unless you planned all your trip along the JR lines.

Keatsan I did a 9d osaka/kyoto/nara/tokyo trip before (fly in to osaka, fly out of tokyo) also in april.

itinerary / write up on blog: http://look-see-eat.blogspot.sg/2013/04/ja...three-days.html (caveat -- this was many many years ago).

since you're doing 12 days you can have more time to do a better coverage of kyoto and tokyo than i did (those 2 places i really just touch n go saja)

You can opt for the intercity flights using ANA, but when the system noticed you're not returning from the same airport, the price changes a lot... i have tried it with ANA and MAS... i gave up after looking at the price.
