Hi Guys, any recommendation Onsen in Takayama? My wife found the stay in Takayama, but unfortunately is hostel. But the rating is very high at around 9.3.

I believe Takayama is the only place that I can experience Onsen as we will be staying there for 3 days during trip to Shinrakawago and Shin-hotaka.

You'll have to check carefully whether their bath is really natural spring water or just hot water biggrin.gif , especially those in Takayama town. And don't expect the price to be cheap..

Alternatively, on the way to Shin-Hotaka ropeway, there are a lot of onsen resorts which you could opt for a night stay. There are also day-use baths open to the public

I stayed in Hodakaso Sanganoyu last time (nearby Hirayu Onsen bus-stop). RM700/night with half-boards for 2 ppl.

Yeah, my wife also mentioned this to me yesterday night. She said those good ones are usually outskirt and required car to reach, thus she asked me to check again whether it is really necessary to get onsen stay or not. I believe she has been scared by the cost of the Hotel Tateyama in Alpine Route and she is very determined to cut cost by getting cheaper stay in other area.  laugh.gif
I think.... I am fine..... with naked. Just that my mindset must be set it right.  laugh.gif Not sure whether there is such onsen privately outside with my and my wife together or not. But I believe it will not be cheap, because it's "private"
Free? really? I thought local still have to pay a little bit of money to take bath.

Some onsens have private reservable bath that you can booked for a 1-hr slot for 1000yen++

My gf is not comfortable being naked in front of other ppl (except me of course brows.gif )

i will be heading from tokyo to kyoto, hoping to stop by mount fuji in between. I am flexible where I can stay an extra night in either tokyo, kyoto or near mt fuji.

any suggestions how to get between this places and where to stay?

The Tokaido Line shinkansen do stopped at Odawara station. From there, you can go around Hakone and Kawaguchiko

Do check out the Hakone Pass or Fuji-Hakone Pass

So I guess ANA are just discouraging one-way flight ticket sales

Asakusa, Ueno, Ginza, Akibahara will give you more time to visit etc. and less time on transit

Or you can even go Shinjuku, Shibuya if you want but need to allocate some additional time to go there (from Narita) and then to Haneda airport

normal flight price - maybe hard to justify over Osaka or Tokyo

but there's still a few famous area in Kyushu. Yufuin and Beppu onsen are among the best in Japan

hi sifus, does anyone have any recommendation for day trips to visit Mt Fuji and Hakone? I found 1 in Klook, however was kinda confused. The "Mount Fuji and Hakone Day Trip" requested me to select my drop-off point, does that mean no transportation to return will be provided? Does anyone have any experience with this particular trip?

Or maybe can recommend some other better ones? biggrin.gif thanks!
*
The Klook 1 provided drop-off points for ppl that want to get off around Hakone (spending a night probably) and Odawara (for Shinkansen, maybe onwards to Osaka/Kyoto) before going back to Ginza, Tokyo.

QUOTE(eksk86 @ Dec 1 2018, 05:10 PM)
Guys I have question on getting the right train pass. I'll be visiting Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara and going to Shirakawago as well. I read that there's this pass called JR West Kansai Hokuriku Area pass that can cover all these. Is it worth getting this pass, or should I get a cheaper pass that only covers Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara, and buy separate train ticket to Kanazawa (and then bus to Shirakawago)? Or are there other options?

I will be there for 9 days. My initial plan was to get the 7 days west kansai hokuriku pass and then get osaka amazing pass for the remaining 2 days as we will just be in osaka area that time. is this the best option in terms of cost?
*
Just draft your itinerary first, then calculate all the fares and compare against the Pass.

Normally, the savings is not much and you feel ‘forced’ to take certain routes or change your itinerary, even if there’s better alternatives

erm...i asked ANA before on this, and this was their reply (this is for my flight to LA though, not sure to japan any difference:

Upon checking the reservation each passenger is allowed maximum 2 pieces of luggage each weighing no more than 23 kg

that each refers to each passenger i.e. max 2 piece of luggage for each passenger, and weighing no more than 23kg

i structured my questions as such in simple english:

I have a question on luggage allowance:
- maximum 2 pieces with each piece weighing maximum 23kg ?

OR

- maximum 2 pieces with total weight of 23kg ?

and i did bring more than 23kg per luggage
*
ok maybe i misunderstood ANA policy since I don't use up to that much baggage weight blush.gif
