Not sure about vending machine. But all prepaid IC card hve been made compatible with each other.
Refer to http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2359_003.html. It did mentions "almost".

sometimes just the vending machine bug, i kena few times before. the vending machine show pasmo can b used but it wont detect my card

early April for Osaka and Tokyo trip

this is my third trip lmao but never been on April

going on April because the weather is ok dowan cold cold month

but sked lots of tourist, but early april ok or not?

any advice

already do some search, some said lots of tourist some said ok ok lor

early april definitely still a lot of tourists as it is sakura season, usually full bloom is around end of march till beginning of april for tokyo. so tourists will still hang around even after the season is overed

no problem on all the train n tram.
just vending machine on kyoto area, din had much problem on tokyo part, both vending machine n konbini store.

dunno, tested n din work, so dun wan to embarassed myself
i just assumed it din listed on the vending machine hence not supported,
used coins mostly on Kansai area.

uhm full bloom in Kyoto this year was 2nd week of April. so i assume in Tokyo is like 3rd week perhaps?
1st week in Tokyo the tree still botak-botak here and there

from what i saw in Kansai most vending machines use coins only tho

One day only 10k Yen minus transport and entrance fees. You only can eat very cheap breakfast , lunch and dinner only
Maybe a day can thread ur self a Good sushi Meal that range 4k Yen

Is it worth it to visit shirakawa-go in middle of october?

will the view be beautiful because usually ppl go in winter where the houses are lit?

should i skip it in october & wait for winter to go visit shirakawa-go?

wow ! that would be interesting.. will start to plan out my itinerary..

Thanks.

Ouch. Noted. Thanks


I found a good info about ICOCA and Haruka.

http://jprail.com/travel-informations/othe...-in-kansai.html

I think i will purchase this to travel from KIX to Kyoto.

My current plan will be Tokyo > Osaka > Kyoto > Tokyo

itinerary of the places like 1st day asakusa, tokyo tower, and so on

I have planned my itinerary using this website http://www.visitacity.com/en/kyoto/itinera...ary-day-1?day=1

It seems fine to me.

Very cheap breakfast? Doutor brekkie set is considered reasonable right? I think breakfast, lunch & dinner easily can set aside around 4-5k yen depending on the meal I'm moderate in terms of food. So far have not spent more than 3k yen on one meal - in both Tokyo and Nagoya.

LOL. Need some time for this. Because, not sure the distances between the places I wanted to travel yet. Need to check on the maps

tht day 1st night dinner makan wagyu beef 9k+ d... other than tht usually 1 meal max 2k yen

is tht itinerary yours or u just follow it? its missing a few must go places in kyoto

I just follow it. its ok? I will spend 4 days in Kyoto. Based on the website, i think it look fine for 4 days itinerary.

i will help u re-arrange it mayb tomorrow or friday night. coz tht itinerary missing a few attractions and some places doesnt really need tht long. or u can take my two days itinerary on the 1st page and split it into 4 days

I used to post Tips of Month on Cheap food in Japan.
It been removed

Cheapest delicious breakfast are Family Mart / Lawson. Lawson Egg sandwich are super delicious.
Lunch & Dinner are Yoshinoya / Sukiya. Cheap and Delicious
Sukiya Webpage

Do this way, One day spent about 2k Yen on meal.
