So you should go earlier rather than later in October if seeing autumn colours is your main goal.

haha! too bad hope you can get the ticket, besides, visiting which part of Ishikawa?

inb4, went for a walk yesterday, sakura to be honest, I already start missing winter

Anyone here been to Sapporo, Hokkaido?

If one were to spend moderately (no premium restaurant foods) without some snacks as souvenir, is RM1.5-2k enough for 6 day's budget? All included (transportation, daily meal and so on) except hotel (bought it with AA Go).

Definitely one night in Fuji. You don't want to miss Mount Fuji during sunrise. It's also your best chance since there will be less fog in early morning

around rm300 per day..sounds ok

Thanks, I'll start looking for accommodation nearby Fuji.

I heard public transportation ain't cheap there. Is renting car better than taking public transport (even though cost might be slightly higher)?

if you are going during winter...and you have no experience driving in the snow...better don’t

parking ain’t cheap too unless you are sharing the ride with 3 other ppl

Ah. Thanks for the heads up

Btw, anyone been there, please give some feedback on the budget Would need more enlightenment. And which place isn't worth visiting too, cause will only be there for less than a week's time.

Go do your own basic research first lar, you want to free and easy and don't want to pay tour guide then expect us to craft itinerary for you for free?

We don't know you at all, how do we know what you like or dislike? Example I think Otaru canal is most overrated crap in Hokkaido ever, but a lot of people would disagree. So is it worth visiting or not worth visiting?

Nah some links to get started.

Japan travel costs https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2410.html

For budget, I did a 3d Tokyo 9d Hokkaido trip a while ago and it was all-in around rm30k for 2pax. http://look-see-eat.blogspot.sg/2015/11/ho...rket-ramen.html

A simple question. Can Himeji and Amanohashidate be covered in the same day?

I'm trying to fit it in the Kansai-Hiroshima pass and they appeared to be connected by railway. I just wanted to know if it's feasible to have them in the same day. Thanks.

you just need to check the travel time needed from point A to Himeji, then to Amanohashidate. Then you will get your answer

if its a simple question then pls do your own homework first

I did, and the results of Hyperdia does not match the map lines shown in the train pass map. Also, actual time time coverage is approximately half day for each after research but it may differ in actual travel. Hence the question.

If you don't know the answer, you can always just ignore the question like everyone else, rather than trying to put yourself up on a higher pedestal and criticize others.

So wife finally made up her mind on the itinary... mostly is for my kid/wife... I was just there 2 weeks ago for AnimeJapan 2018 so I'm just tagging along this time...

Would appreciate any feedback/comments/tips on the itinary...


Day 1 ( 14 Apr ) reach Tokyo 10 pm stay at Shinjuku

Day 2 ( 15 Apr ) : imperial palace, and Ueno park/zoo, shibuya , stay at shinjuku

Day 3 ( 16 Apr/Mon ) : meiji shrine, yogogi park, proceed to urayasu and check in Disney hotel

Day 4 ( 17 Apr ) : Disney

Day 5 ( 18 Apr ) : Disney

Day 6 ( 19 Apr ) : Odaiba and Onsen. Stay at asakusa

Day 7 ( 20 Apr ) : sensoji temple and Nakamise , akibahara , stay at asakusa

Day 8 ( 21 Apr ) : Harajuku/Shinjuku, kabukicho



Actually for me I think should add in some good steak/beef meal... anyone can recommend good place for some Matsusaka/Ohmi beef?

MeToo kid how old? Day2 do so much gardens, kid might get bored (depending on age). Day6 if a full day in odaiba ... some might say it's overkill, but I think it's ok - can go megaweb, the amusement parks, ride ferris wheel, relax in oedo onsen, Fuji tv, fill up the rest of the time with a little window shopping.

Ya, we kinda wanna go relaxing pace... cause i just came back form japan. THis trip more for the kid.. and to sapu some good beef hehe.. rokkasen for sure will go.. maybe even go fast food style Ikinari hehe

I would suggest a little bit earlier, at least 6;30AM to leave your Airbnb. I used to take AccessNarita and it takes about an hour. Normally early in the morning there will be a long queue though I think there are buses every 15minutes. You can also booked via internet but its all in Japanese.

I am going Disneyland with my gf at 17 Apr too
you may buy cheap tickets from this forumer here:

Might bump into you at disney... out of the 30,000 people there on the same day

Going DisneySEA on 16th...because Disneyland will be crowded due to the opening of 35th Anniversary celebration. Will be doing Disneyland a week earlier on 9th
