lol same here, at least twice a year for me.
still 10 days is very rush for two different region unless u really know ur ways around. travelling from osaka to tokyo also half a day gone d

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.

u can use it for haruka express from kix to kyoto, then after tht u only left with 1500yen to use on train. more than tht u have to reload the icoca ic d, not unlimited

I m confused a bit with ICOCA + HARUKA and Kansai One Pass.

If I'm get the Kansai One Pass, can I get Haruka discounted rate from KIX to Kyoto?
Or I should stick to ICOCA + HARUKA option?

Is it cheaper to buy single journey from KIX to Kyoto or return journey? But return journey I will go Osaka first before heading back to KIX.

Need the cheapest option to commute around the station. And Kansai one pass can only get it in KIX Airport?

kansai area pass is 4500 yen for two days, u get to ride Haruka limited express which cost about 1700 yen one way, and unlimited bus and JR train for two days.

Thru pass cost 4000 yen for two days but it doesnt allow u to ride Haruka express, only buses and metro (not JR line).

ICOCA + Haruka cost 4200 yen for round trip KIX-Osaka, so u get round trip of Haruka express worth roughly 3000 yen and a pre-loaded 1500 yen ICOCA IC. its not unlimited, u ride until 1500 yen finished then u go top up again. when u return the ICOCA IC u get bak 500 yen meaning it cost only 3700 yen for round trip Haruka express and a 1500 yen worth of ride.

kansai area pass is worth it if u ride more than 3000 yen worth of buses and JR line in two days which seems to be a lot even for Tokyo, thru pass definitely not worth it, and ICOCA + Haruka is by far the best among these three.

I actually wondering if i will be able to use haruka express if arrival is at 9.30pm. For now, i'm opted for bus, ¥2550. Straight to Kyoto tho

You guys are splitting up is it? If that's the case then yes, more convenient to use SIM.

I'm for the DIY since you specifically mentioned Eat & Shop. What I'd do is below if I'm in your shoes.

1. Roughly plan what to eat and shop.
2. Ask recommendation where to get in (1).
3. Decide on region(Kansai/Hokkaido/Kanto/Tohoku etc)
4. Find out more on food/attraction in that region.
5. Decide number of days annual leaves to apply.
6. Plan itinerary.
7. Book flight/accommodation.
8. Wait for epic tummy tour.

well not for shopping of coz, its like u go c the night life in tokyo. u will b surprised at how quiet n pretty the city can b.
went fushimi inari in kyoto last time after 10pm, the atmosphere will giv u goosebump and at the same time its very nice

want to survey about airfare price.

from KUL-Osaka-KUL or from KUL-Tokyo-KUL or from KUL-Hokkaido-KUL (basically from KUL to major cities in Japan)

taking into account any flight company, transit or multi-city flights, excluding zero fare, free seats etc

I've been to Japan a few times with AA. I normally pay around RM1040 (with 20kg luggage 1 way & no food) to KIX & HND. Sometimes multi-city also that price.

how much is considered 'normal' or 'average' price to pay for a return flight to Japan?

just wondering whether all this while i've been rip-off 

Need recommendation for WIFI rental, my requirement is as below

- Tokyo Area
- Outskirt of Tokyo within max.150KM away
- Unlimited Data use for FB Live, video + photo posting and Google Map the most.
- long battery life 9 hours? *Will bring power bank if not enough*

Looking for those RM15/day or below that fits my usage and I saw this https://www.travelrecommends.com/ is it ok for my usage?

*Bonus, I still have 1 more WIFI provided by ABNB host but I don't hope so much on it because free item might not unlimted, since is free I use together with the one I rented lo.*

Hi Guys, I'm planning to purchase air ticket to Japan for 2 weeks next year beginning of April. Has anyone taken the ANA flight before? How is its services? Is it good to go for this? Or I should avoid ANA?

if 2 weeks Tokyo & Hokkaido, will it be sufficient?

Wonder if there are still tickets for next spring

wow, I'm flying with ANA to Haneda Airport landing on the same hours 10:30PM too. This makes me worried if it delayed, I gona miss the bus to Ikebukuro too.

anyone tried travelrecommends.com pocket wifi in kansai area? is it reliable enough? Or any pocket wifi u want to suggest?
