Guys,

What do you all think of reaching KIX at 6am while the flight is 7:35am? Domestic flight to Tokyo.

Earliest train to KIX is 5:15am and reach 6am for the Nankai Express, i know where is limo bus but i considering getting a pass for nankai express with Osaka Kaiyukan (3000 yen include Entrance fees + one trip Nankai express)

It's very risky for 1 and half hour layover. Suggest u have minimum 3 hours for inter-transit.
Earliest is 5:15am and reach 6pm?

Anyone will be going or in Osaka? Can help to buy advance ticket for Sagano Scenic Train via these 4 places:-

1.Midori-no-Madoguchi counters at major JR West stations (Should be big JR stations like Osaka, Kyoto or Namba)
2. Central Japan Travel Center, Chubu Centrair International Airport
3. Kansai Tourist Information Center, Daimaru Shinsaibashi
4. Kansai Tourist Information Center, Kyoto

PM me or drop msg here. Will direct bank in money to you.

my style is book early.
If you see any more deals later, cancel previous one and book the one u see that deal is good.
But of coz make sure u read the hotel cancellation policy first la before u make any booking.

Sorry. typo.. 6am.

Also fine prints!
Just kena from Booking.com for booking Apartments. The cleaning fee of RM170 bucks hidden in below and not highlighted during checkout. I thought i found a gem.
Cant cancel and ownself to blame~ sigh..

I am fully aware of cleaning fee is a must for Japan BnBs but sometimes slip of mind.

When u going? I went there early this month. Not much ppl. Buy at there je...

Not really needed get ticket advance.
Just reach Arashiyama early sure can get the ticket.

no need to book...go early, reach early, sure got place

Sorry, i mean the sagano scenic train. Would it be risky if i go there to buy.

since i am going on 13/4, should be peak period .

peak what? crowd or sakura season?

Guys,

What do you all think of reaching KIX at 6am while the flight is 7:35am? Domestic flight to Tokyo.

Anymore alternative ways besides Airport Limo Bus?
I am staying in Namba and taking train still more convenient but reach 6am at KIX but flight is 7:35

to catch airport limio bus, I need to travel from Namba to Osaka station @ 4:30am without train. Prolly by taxi then limo bus = very costly.

Can i use Uber to Airport or something?

According to prediction should be not blooming season d.. expected full bloom by end of March.
Should be still peak period

since you already purchased the ticket to go on 13/4...regardless peak or not still going right

unless you haven't bought anything such as flight tickets and whatnot, then this question would be more relevant

Sorry i am refering to the below, since i am going peak period and wouldnt it be risky not to buy advance ticket for sagano train.

Sagano train ticket can buy from Klook right?

can...got airport staff bring you along to your next connecting flight one

but that one was when i transfer from HND -> ITM and after knowing that my baggage was delayed

Hi sifu-sifus sekalian, planning a 14 days trip to Japan on Nov. these are the draft itinerary, need more research.

(Choose weekdays, not so pack on weekend)

Day 3 - 2nd Nov, Friday
- Nara day trip

Day 4 - 3rd Nov, Saturday
- Kobe day trip

Day 5 - 4th Nov, Sunday
- osaka amazing pass

Day 6 - 5th Nov, Monday

Day 8, 7th Nov, Wednesday

Day 9 - Day 14

Since I’ll be travelling a lot, I’ll get the 14 days JR Pass. Should I get Tokyo subway ticket? Understand that JR Pass cover most of the area need to do more research for the line coverage

Oh! So much difference! Planning to go there during autumn season. So is better to buy on the spot instead if Klook?

you plan on staying in 1 place only for Kansai area?
