I Bet your Kyoto 1 Day trip will be
Arashiyama > Kinkaku-Ji > back to Nishiki Market (Lunch that Issen Yoshaku? ) > Fushimi Inari

No Way
Unless you taking taxi, No way by Bus.....No Way......
If your Lunch Hour was 2pm then maybe .....
If you do touch N Go way......no enjoy scenic....maybe

*Since at Gion Area....I more recommended 権兵衛 or 祇をん 松乃. More Proper meal suit Ancient Kyoto. Not That kind youngster food of Osaka - Okonomiyaki 

Steakland are worst Kobe Beef i ever taste. 

13 Jan 18 part too much......Osaka Castle , Taisha , Ramen Tour , Beer Tour taking very long hour...as I say again unless you doing touch N go way again....which is meaningless way...then can complete your list

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.Is this better?

09/01/18 (Revised) - Arayashima>Fushimi Inari>Dinner at Gion - 権兵衛 or 祇をん 松乃
11/01/18 - Kobe beef - How about this? A5 Kobe beef Restaurant [ビフテキのカワムラ 三宮本店]
13/01/18 (Revised) - Sumiyoshi Taisha>Kuromon Market (Lunch)>Dotonbori
14/01/18 (Revised) - Osaka Castle/Nissin instant Ramen Musuem

is it worth for me to take Kansai Thru Pass? Or just take ICOCA & haruka only?

Thanks in advance!!!

When Reach KIX at Day 1 buy ICOCA + Haruka + KTP

Used ''Haruka'' Limited Express from Kansai Airport to Kyoto
9 , 10 , 11 used KTP on Kyoto , Kobe , Nara part
12, 13, 14 at Osaka part then used ICOCA
Last Day from Osaka to Kansai Airport used ''Haruka'' again

ビフテキのカワムラ 三宮本店 minimum need 60k - 80k Yen for A5 Kobe Beef (2Pax)
If you got the budget only. Or alse I can recommended you other good stuff at Kobe rather than that Steakland.
Kobe Beef part you can try at Kuromon market  biggrin.gif  That Kobe beef I Approved. one of the Best

Kobe nice restaurant can try ブラジリアーノ . Delicious Brazilian food + Ultimate Kobe Harbor view. One of my Pocket-list restaurant.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your feedback.

Alright will buy ICOCA + Haruka + KTP 3 days

Omg! rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif Min 60k-80k is so expensive TT. Is there any other good stuff at Kobe at Steakland?? The reason i choose Steakland its cause of price of 3180/pax. I think if its 5k yen below per pax should be ok.

Noted. Will definitely try Kobe beef at Kuromon Market Osaka

Will also take note of ブラジリアーノ . Delicious Brazilian food + Ultimate Kobe Harbor view while visiting Kobe

Thank you thank you very much rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

few options for pocket wi-fi...

msia : travel recommends, wiyo, samurai etc
osaka : some airbnb provides free pocket wi-fi

I've used samurai wifi before. great speed, convenient to collect & return (mine was at KLIA2)

Omg guys thank you so much!!!

Msia - I will consider Samurai wifi
Osaka - If airbnb provides the pocket wifi, do we need to pay anything to them?

you should rent from Malaysia then you have wifi all the way until you are back home safely. besides its easier to rent the pocket wifi when the person speaks english haha. somemore we are so unfamiliar with the directions overseas. try the travel website Klook. my mum rents her pocket wifi from them everytime we travel. so far got no problem. can set pickup at KL airport.

Depends on how many people are going together. If there's only 2-3 of you, I'll suggest SIM card instead of pocket Wifi.

You can get your SIM here: https://hello1010.my/country/asia/japan.html

Issues with pocket WIFI:
- Someone has to carry the WIFI with him/ her all the time.
- Have to ensure it doesn't run out of battery (power bank is definitely needed).
- It's hard to split up. When you do, only the person holding the WIFI router has connection.

As such, i prefer SIM; unless you don't mind the above and there's 4-5 of you travelling together and want to budget.

Just an additional option for you to consider.
