QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Dec 13 2017, 03:22 PM) Oh yes, it's seasonal. We managed to bought it on the last day it was available. So kancheong... first thing we did upon arrival to Nagoya city was to get to JR counter and ask for the tickets. Luckily managed to get it. Must say, my friend was absolutely good in planning  Hiroshima to Tokyo for 2,300+ yen  cheap!! but almost 24 hours journey nice if you go make stops along the way. That is super cheap....can do it while I am a student. Not now. Most are local trains and seats are too stiff. Those days there were no apps about schedule. So I have to rely on the JR timetable that is about 100pages thick which they publish every month. I think its all train timetable in Japan except Hokkaido and Okinawa. |

QUOTE(123qwe @ Dec 20 2017, 05:17 PM) will it be good option if i take budget airline from Tokyo to Osaka? Its just an hour flight. Why not. The service are quite good as well and some do offer drinks for free. As its domestics, check in is really quick and you can even arrive in the airport 30mins before departure. |

QUOTE(123qwe @ Dec 21 2017, 10:43 AM) the check-in process simplified a lot compare to domestic flight right? then i might taking this option, instead of spending time on taking night bus Yes as you dont need to go through immigration. You can do the check in on your phone, drop your bags and then walk to the security. I have done a lot of one day trip previously and I can really plan my time as the trains are pretty much on time. Also most flight are flying off Haneda instead of Narita. I think now there are some domestic flight from Narita too but not many. |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Dec 21 2017, 04:37 PM) Then that's decent. No reason not to consider flight, apart from the trouble of having to go through all the check points Actually if you fly from Haneda there is only one check point which is the security check point. It just like taking a shinkansen. But then if I were to go to Osaka from Tokyo, for business I will just take the shinkansen. However if its further south like Hiroshima of Fukuoka I will take flight. Tried once to Fukuoka and it was damn tiring for 5-6 hours....flight just 1 hour. |

QUOTE(90929155 @ Dec 21 2017, 10:36 PM) Hi guys, I heard that upon arriving...we will be given a form known as tax declaration to be filled up? Its just an immigration form. Why do you need to declare your tax when you arrive. QUOTE(123qwe @ Dec 21 2017, 10:47 PM) True that flight need to spend extra time to go airport and all, and I still need to travel to kyto from Osaka if I were taking flight. Maybe I should just pay extra for Shinkansen to buy more time? Btw, Shinkansen ticket no way to purchase online right? Yes you can. But its all in Japanese. |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Dec 22 2017, 09:36 AM) This site is selling: https://shinkansen-ticket.com/?gclid=CjwKCA...axoCdH0QAvD_BwE Any idea whether they're an authorized agent or simply an independent agency? Can still reserve though? Not sure how the payment goes as it's not elaborated. Did not know that this site exist. I am outdated already.  I check the "about us", I guess its and independent agency. As for the JR site, payment is via credit card. Did not know that english site exist. This post has been edited by sacwoc: Dec 22 2017, 09:57 AM |
