I am juggling between getting a 3 day Kansai thru pass or just topup an ICOCA card,
does using Kansai Thru pass saves more? 3 day pass already costs 5200 Yen, like not much difference than regular fares

QUOTE(Bliz @ Oct 7 2016, 03:56 PM) It is better for u to plan the route for the places u are going, then from google map can get the transport fees, from there on u can calculate if it is worth it. I didn't get the Kansai Thru Pass because it is not worth it for my travel route, instead i rely on Icoca  maybe u re right I calculate this way: 5200/3 = 1733 Yen per day if going not more than 5 places a day, and let's assume bus or train fare is fixed at 230 Yen per trip, it is about 1380 Yen (6*230 Yen = 1380, just add one more trip to go back to hotel) so it is more or less the same

QUOTE(Bliz @ Oct 7 2016, 04:15 PM) My advice is plan and check the route from google map first, i don't think u can visit 5 places a day ( very rush ), i mostly travel to max of 3 places per day, the transportation cost at Japan is really expensive, better plan properly to save some money ( well if u are cash rich is ok jus buy KTP and save the hassle  ) that's why lesser places = cost ineffective for Thru pass I think I have answered my own question, use ICOCA and topup more money, at least can use it to buy things at convenient stores, and refund the unused balance at the airport

what is the appropriate attire when going to Takayama and Shirakawago during autumn eg in mid Nov?
will normal jacket suffice to shield from low temperature?

referring to this bus schedule https://www.nouhibus.co.jp/english/highwayb...shirakawago.pdfI'm not to understand on this eg. does that only mean there's only ONE bus arrive at 13.50 at Takayama? and if we missed it or due to over-capacity, then have to wait for the next round which is at 14.50?
