Hi all , first time post in this thread . will be going to tokyo mid of November . going to do some research as early as I can .
But one thing I found about the transportation cost , JR Pass cheapest cost around MYR1K/pax for 7 days ? Seriously that expensive ?
Any alternative cheaper way ?

Or can I just stay at Tokyo for 10days ? First time to Japan thus got no idea at all . did read about this thread but seem no better option for transportation .

sorry for my bad english

I doubt you can manage to spend RM1k for 7 days on your Suica if u hang around tokyo...

ShangHai and HK is the 2 disney I wont dare to bring my kid too.....

no kaiyukan in osaka...nice for a 5yo kid

first time suggest to focus on tokyo only...tokyo is so big and you can do day trips to other places such as kawaguchiko and yokohama

no need that 1k JR pass if you're travelling only in tokyo. consider the Tokyo Wide area pass for your case

I wonder how many first timers get con buying JR Pass and under-utilised it

JR Pass is only worth if you travel Shinkansen a lot. Which means, most of the time, you just make yourself/itinerary inconvenient by trying to maximise the JR Pass value.

a very useful point. i am also in the process of planning my trip also. thanks.

Really ? This trip more to shopping rather than sight seeing .. perhaps would like to drop by Mount Fuji . Possible ? And the cost ?

Thanks for the reply . Can roughly estimate if only walk around in Tokyo transportation cost ? For 2 person ..

Alright thanks mate . Will look into Tokyo wide area pass

Just grab a SUICA, it saves u a lot of time and headache buying the right ticket etc...

1. Google either Hakone or Kawaguchiko. Look up these 2 places where you can see Mt. Fuji. Do more research and you'll find out the cost. Come back and feel free to check with forumers here if you still need help after that.

2. It depends on your itinerary and how many places you will cover in a week. If you're at 1-2 areas for most of the day and rarely do side trips, then your transport cost will not be high. Plan your itinerary and you can look up the ticket cost of each trip in Google Map or Hyperdia site/ app.

I had 1 question regarding the Sagano Romantic Train.
I stay near Omiya Station.
so I plan to walk to Nijo Station and take JR Train to Kameoka Torokko Station, and take the Sagano Train, travel to Torokko Arashiyama Station, then from there go Bamboo Forest, Tenryuji Temple and Lunch at Taishou Hanana Restaurant.

is this arrangement correct ar?
what I confuse is, I paid 240Yen to travel to Kameoka Torokko Station, and take the train back to Arashiyama.. seems like wasting money huh @.@

Looking for a suggestion for dinner place around Gion/Pontocho/riverside in kyoto that is nice and not too expensive. Maybe RM80 to RM120 for 2 pax

You are damn right about HK disneyland. Went there last month and its just like a normal park and was so disappointing. Fireworks is suspended now until when the park construction is completed.

That's ¥1650 max per person, not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve. If by "nice' you mean romantic ... a bit difficult with that budget ba. IMO just fire up tabelog, filter by price and do a map search.
