Hi, currently i'm trying to book a domestic flight from KIX to Narita using Jetstar. I wanted to leave KIX at the earliest flight to spend more time in Tokyo. However, the earliest flight is at 7.35am and the next flight will be 2pm. My closest departure station will be Tengachaya station and Hyperdia says with the first departing train, without any delays, i will reach the airport with 1.5 hours to spare before flight departure (Jetstar counter opens 2 hours before departure, closes 30 mins before, gate closes 15 mins before departure).

Is it possible to still make the flight? I'm not sure of the orientation of KIX nor how the lines at immigration will be like as i'd never been to KIX so i can't make an estimate if i can make it.

you can try JAL or ANA....Early booking for these 2 airline was cheap. Japanese fly domestic from Osaka to Tokyo prefer Osaka Itami Airport. Both JAL / ANA using B777 for these route. extra legroom for more comfort.

Earliest bus from Namba OCAT to Itami Airport was 6am

Thanks for the suggestion, i'd checked Itami's location and also their flight schedule, it seems only ANA have schedule available for my month (Nov). But my current location takes about 1 hour travelling time with multiple transfers to Itami while it's 40 mins to KIX. So i'm still considering if my original plan is still feasible with only 1.5 hours leeway between arrival and flight departure time... sad.gif

But Narita airport to Tokyo city already causing back the time lost. From Itami to Tokyo was landed at Haneda.

At Osaka, Itami was futher away from your location but once reach tokyo. You gain back all the lost time.

I would suggest to look for AirBnB properties if its your first visit to Japan. So far i've only had good experience with the hosts especially when you're staying this long.
*
Airbnb in Japan now very limited and very inconvenience already. Have to double confirm with owner have licence or not. Have to do refund process, etc etc.....

I just book airbnb and then the host send a link(Online Self Check In) and ask me to fill in my details and upload passport photo. Anyone submit the info too?

The url is begin with https://onlinecheckin.spacianet.com

Do I really need to submit the info?

Yes. Under new law, Airbnb are same like Hotel. When you check in hotel, Hotel staff also need photocopy your passport.

Is Tokyo Wide Pass pretty conveniet if staying in Tokyo and planning to go outskirt places like Hakone, Nikko and Mt Fuji area with this pass??

10k yen for 3 days validity. which area i can go with Shinkansen coz wanna experience once getting on bullet train with this pass.
*
Answer was No.
Hakone and Nikko transport are non JR
Mt Fuji yes...because it got collaborate with Fujikyu Railway.


Main Purpose for this pass was going Karuizawa & Lake Kawaguchiko only. Other than this 2 spot, are useless.

any website to recommend?
I checked a few websites like travel recommend, klook, HIS...
they are selling JR Pass only, doesn't have the wide pass option
*
You have to to JTB Malaysia Office get it or buy online from JTB Malaysia, they will mail the exchange document for you.

bring the exchange document and exchange it to rail pass when you reach Japan.

ya, quite rush...

The direct train from Narita to kawaguchiko should be 1 train per day on weekend only...
This would be the fastest option to reach kawaguchiko...
if cant make it then have to change train in tokyo station i think...
*
If cannot get direct train then take express bus.

Fujikyuko Express bus. From Narita Airport to Lake Kawaguchiko Station directly.

But taking shinkansen to Nikko is included in Tokyo Wide Pass right?

Any suggestion if i wanna spend 3 days in outskirt of Tokyo, like Nikko, Hakone, Yokohama what is the best pass available there?

i have 7 days in total so gonna spend 4 days within Tokyo rest wanna travel a bit. Thinking JR 7 days Pass but not sure i cant actually utilize all benefit from this RM1068 passes.
Yet in tokyo i might still have to rely on 3 days metro pass as well.
*
Shinkansen only stop at JR Utsunomiya Station. [[Not all Shinkansen stop at this station] Only slowest shinkansen stop at this station which is [[Nasuno]]
From Utsunomiya Station have to change to JR Utsunomiya Line to Nikko.
Very slow compare to Tobu - Nikko Line direct from Tobu Asakusa Station.

Tokyo wide pass as I say, It only worth if going Karuizawa , Lake Kawaguchiko , Yokohama.
It does not works on Hakone and Nikko.

Nikko are Tobu Territories & Hakone are Odaikyu territories

Hakone are totally rulez by Odaikyu Company. From railway to bus to ferry to cable car are all rulez by Odaikyu.
If want to go Hakone, you need Hakone Freepass [Get it at Shinjuku Station Odaikyu counter]

Hakone freepass + topup abit for Romance Car

Hi, I will travel to Tokyo in 2 weeks time, am wondering which restaurant in Disneyland that we can meet and greet with autograph by all the princesses? This will be my daughter dream come true especially her favorite Snow White, Aurora and Belle or even Elsa..
*
Very very hard to get all princessees in one placed. But those high end reservation. Dinner can meet some plus other disney character. But the price are extremly expensive dinner.

They all have thier own autograph time session.
When you get your entrance ticket, it will come with timetable. You have to arrange your time to fit the autograph session.


If you want easily get all princess autograph, only 2 disneyland can done more easily. One is Shanghai, because inside main castle was called enchanted castle which is castle of all princesss. Another disneyland was hong kong due to small size. Easy to plan and manage timetable

Just want to confirm.

JL724 flight (JAL) to Narita-2 is from KLIA1 and not KLIA2 right?
And also it shows :

Departure
22:50
Kuala Lumpur (External link Kuala Lumpur International Airport)

Arrival
7:05 +1 Next day
Tokyo (External link Narita International)

Mean 10.50pm Malaysia time depart from KLIA, and 8.05am(Japan time) reach Narita?

7:05am Japan Time

Oh those look nice! Can't believe I forgot about Akihabara!

Where do you think I should slot them in? I think Roppongi and Ginza can just put in anyone of the nights, right?
*
Day 2 & 7 can slot in Akihabara
Day 4 can slot in Ginza (near to Asakusa) + Tokyo Skytree
Day 4 Plan should be Tsukiji > Ginza > Asakusa + Skytree> Ueno
Day 5 can slot in Roppongi Hill at night. After Mt Takao, can slot in Shinjuku , Shibuya , Harajuku
Basically Day 2 & 5 & 7 enough for you cover Shinjuku , Shinuya , Harajuku , Akihabara

Can i know when entering Japan, do we need to sign any entry form like Taiwan?

Every country in the world also need fill in entry form.
Japan custom go very precise on entry form.

You have to write full hotel name and hotel address. Some country just write hotel name only, but not in Japan.
