Will start planing my next Japan trip.

I enjoy old/traditional Japan, so I think Osaka(side trip Kyoto) will be a great trip.

Is 8 days enough to cover both city?

Actually depends what you like. Outskirts will be like Kure, Iwakuni and Okayama. Also its easier to drive in Hiroshima as well. In Iwakuni there is a restaurant in the mountain called sanzoku. Its easier to get there by car. I used to drive there 3-4 times a year. Its about 2 hours drive from Hiroshima. Havent been there for more than 10 years, so not sure if it still exist.

Hi guys, is JTBmalaysia the only place I can get to buy the JR pass? I googled around, there are some cheaper...but no walk in collection, only courier service.

As my trip is less than a month, safest bet is to get from JTB though slightly expensive. Hmm

Yes.I will be travelling to Tokyo, Nagano, Osaka , Kyoto, Kobe

My flight from Sapporro to KL is at 9.22am and if I were to take subway and reach airport at 6.55am and check in luggage, still enough time to board the plane? Anyone who just came back from sapporro can share their experiences?

the meds sold in japs are very different than what we have
its created, manufactured and sold in japs only
if u see the back and if u can understand it, it can cure pretty much any illness
provided u know what to buy(since there are so many varieties sold in JP), u should get it
for fever alone, they have many kind of meds for it

yea usually got a lot 1, but i use it mainly for flu n headache. there is this sore throat sweet also very effective 1, u can c it selling in most conbini also

got pic?

as a matter of fact
but mostly its hard to buy if we dn't know what it's function for

ow...japan is such a nice place for road trip lik tht 

Hi, i would like to know is the JR National Pass allow us to book a reserve seat? and is it allowed to use Hayabusa Bullet Train (Tokyo <-> Sapporo)?
Have tried to search for train schedule using hyperdia, if i choose to:
- Unselect route "NOZOMI / MIZUHO / HAYABUSA (SHINKANSEN)", the travel time will be much much longer than select the route "NOZOMI / MIZUHO / HAYABUSA (SHINKANSEN)".

Anyone can advise is the national jr pass allowed to use HAYABUSA SHINKANSEN? and what is the travel time from sapporo to tokyo?

Oh No..is that real? T.T..
saw this: "All JR Group Railways-Shinkansen”bullet trains” (except any reserved or non-reserved seat on “NOZOMI” and “MIZUHO” trains) limited express trains, express trains, and rapid or local trains, and the BRT. (With some exceptions)" from JTBMalaysia website, which does not mention for HAYABUSA.

Have you tried from tokyo to sapporo?
