Hi Guys ,

I just came back yesterday from our trip to Hokkaiddo - specifically Sapporo > Asahikawa > Rusutsu > Sapporo.
Throughly enjoyed the trip.
My first look at this thread so would like to share my experience on the above ...

Our group bought quite a few bottles of Sake (Yamakuchi) and other liquors - tax-free in Sapporo . Some decided to check in carefully with their luggage but I decided to hand carry them across Japan custom point.  Dont' !!! You will not be allowed past security check - sealed bags or not !! I have to turn back and check those bottles in with a 'where to find right now box "  ! Quite unnerving when you are very near boarding time. But plus point to security officer to lead us back to AA check-in counter and allow us to 'jump queue' otherwise ...

No comments on the allowed quantity or tax  ..  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif . For us all  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  after that hiccup.

For AAX flight back to KL, if you reach before 7am, you should able to drop your luggage in 10 mins. Because most ppl start ariving around 6.50am~7.30am. The custom gate open around 7.45am.

i took their normal cab from susukino area to airport, it took me ~12000 yen.  cry.gif

Same journey for  me  on comfy bus 80mins duration 5:29am 1030 yen. I guess your fare can be shared among 4 passengers, only question is 'will 4 luggage  fit?

hehe.... different ppl different way to rush the early 9.20am AA flight. i choose to stay at airport hotel. cost me rm300 with free spa & breakfast. but i did not use the spa bcox i was damn tired when i reach the hotel at 9pm. but honestly if you guys choose the most earlier train or bus actually can make it on time d but need to wake up early la... Chitose airport not so crowded also. check in n custom quite fast d.

Hi, I will be arriving Narita on Friday, 3:50pm and transit to Haneda for my next flight on 8:30pm. There's an easy option NRT-HND using the limousine bus but the price is quite pricey at 3,100 yen.

I notice that there's a Access Express Train from NRT-HND at 1,800 yen but im still unsure and i dont want to make any mistake of taking the wrong train. I have used hyperdia to check the train line and it seems that i need to transfer at Aoto Station despite although they mentioned it's a direct train from NRT-HND.

Have anyone tried using the Access Express Train? Any review or comment?

I check narita airport website it stated there the express access is 0 transfer so should be direct d. If u in doubt, u can ask the advice at the tourist kiosk at the airport there 1. They are very very friendly to help d...

so otaru a day trip will be sufficient ?

And another 3 days in Sapporo .. thanks man

For me a day trip to otaru is enough. Basically otaru is all handcraft. U wan buy souvenirs otaru mayb the best place. But quite mahal la... hehe... but the handcraft there is quite special d. There got a cable car to a mountain dono wat name d, can view the otaru bay d. I nvr been there but heard is quite nice. I plan to reach otaru at morning 10am like that and then go to the mountain 1st then lunch and then shop at otaru but bcox of i drink with my friend at sapporo the previous night i cant wake up early enough. Hehe... i reach otaru at 1pm++ so i skip the mountain plan d. The popular music box museum most likely to cost you 1-2 hours inside d bcox it got a lot of thing to see and buy. Take note that shop at there close quite early d. 6pm onwards got shop start to close d. The canal there also worth to go d. At night quite nice d.

Sapporo depends on where you wanna go. I went mount moiwa, moerenuma park, hokkaido U, hokkaido shrine and maruyama zoo. I spend almost a day shopping around sapporo also la... looking for watch, toys and some other japan stuff. I can spend 3-4 hours at Bic Camera and Yodobashi at each end of sapporo station. These two shop basically u can get most tech stuff and hobby thing in japan with cheaper price.

guys, i am travelling to Japan early of Nov. But my flight reach Haneda Airport about 11PM local time. I have 2 kids (3+ & 2+) and 6 adults travelling together. Any suggestion on :
1) Accommodation (either hotel or airbnb)
2) How to travel to suggestion #1?

Thanks a lot!
*
you are asking suggestion on your 1st night or the whole trip?

actually it is still possible to take the last train out of haneda airport 1 just have to be no delay out of plane, take luggage straight go immigration. toilet need to be fast also. if you don wish to rush then quite a lot of hotel nearby airport which provide free pick up at airport also.

if you are asking bout whole trip then big group look like more suitable using airbnb and cheaper also....
