Anyone in Tokyo today and for another week or so? How's the weather? I'm counting days for my flight now.

It's been really warm today, and a little humid. There's a typhoon on the way which I think is due to pass through (near/around) the Tokyo area maybe on Thursday.

Hi, I would like to confirm I want to go to Osaka station from Kyoto station and I have JR Pass for it.

From hyperdia, I found there are 2 type of train go Osaka station from Kyoto station without transit

1. LTD. EXP THUNDERBIRD 32
2. JR Special Rapid Service  for BANSHUAKO

Does that mean my JR Pass only eligible (free) for the 'JR Special Rapid Service  for BANSHUAKO '
If I take "LTD. EXP THUNDERBIRD 32", I have to pay for the fees?

Yep, I second the earlier confirmation. You should be fine using these trains with a JR Pass, although you might have to pay extra for a reserved seat.

You should visit Jigoku Meguri - which translates to something like "Hells of Beppul'. You can't actually go in them but they are cool to take a look around and have funny names. As the name suggests, they are in Beppu. They're not so expensive to visit, around 400 yen each or the whole lot for 2000 yen.

There are maps and pictures here:

Typically late March to early April. Some place may carry on to mid-April. It depends on the weather that year. This year sakura bloomed a bit later.

You can see the chart of sakura locations for 2017 ...
