Hi would like to ask suggestion for those who ever been to usj during the golden week season. Not sure to go on a friday (27th april) or monday (7th may). I am trying to avoid the weekends and the 29th april-5th may week, must be super crowded 😅. Anyone just came back recently from osaka and played the detective conan event in USJ? Isit worth it to get the express pass for the cool event? Thanks

from your experience the officers were not suspicious that you did not buy any tax-free item coming back from tokyo?

Want to ask anyone use singapore airline to tokyo before? Planning to go next april for sakura and saw singapore airline ticket around 1.5k is it consider cheap? Thanks

First time i felt jap being rude. Shoo`ing people queue right infront of their shop. Then only i get to know actually they are chinese people hired for the mainlander market.

Cheapest Sashimi don was 2500 yen which i can get a better one at 1500 yen in Kuromon.
The only thing cant find in Kuromon is the omelette roll (Really damn sweet and nice)

Luckily i got my sushi craving settled. If not kena potong there.

There is this store which they sell Grilled fish for just 500 yen (not typical salmon), its damn good. I asked for rice and he say dont have! wasted la!

Hi going Japan on 5-11 July. Wana ask which Michelin star omakase sushi is good and worth?

Hi guys, I will be flying off to Japan this coming Friday. Just wanna check, what is the common leisure dress code for guys there? If I wear bermuda pants, will I have any issue accessing the temple?

Facing a lot of obstacles, especially the bus trip from Narita to Kawaguchiko. They only allow one baggage per person put inside the bus storage. As I'm bring 2 baggage myself. I might need to think of using courier service in Narita Airport to deliver to hotel in Tokyo which I will be coming over after 2 days stay in Kawaguchiko.

Thanks! points taken.
Yeah, I'm thinking the same way as well. Just that I have to pay more. haha.

itinery still in planning. just wondering is it feasible to take the train (using JR PASS) from kyoto( planning to stay in kyoto) to osaka in the afternoon and come back to kyoto at night? i checked google map and its says it take 1hour29min per trip but here i see some people mention it only takes 30minutes.

Wait since we're on the topic of Shibazakura. The ticket get at Kawaguchiko station?
I saw that they have 2,000 yen pass which includes the return bus ride and entrance ticket. However I also read on their site that if the bloom almost end, the entry fee might be waived off.

I'm going 3rd week of May, so hopefully it's still good.

not yet complete. but this is the my current list. yes. i place fushimi inari and arashiyama both early morning trips so we're fresh and strong. walking wise, not a problem for me but me wife not as tough as me. haha. so i rather we take these 2 place slowly early in the morning. And still having headache where to slot in himeji. First time to japan. so quite worried about the train schedule. what if its not avaiable.

With this kinda planinng, JR PASS is more suitable right?

haha. kinda worried also about our leg power. Basically we place our main objectives early in the morning like Tsukiji / Asakusa / Arashiyama / Fushimi Inari so we can have ample of times to enjoy it. The rest of the day might even adjust according to our stamina level. 

Initially plan to book our hotel in kyoto but after reading here, i think its more feasible to stay in osaka. Still need to slot in himeji-jo
Planning to book our hotel in shibuya so it will be more convenient. Not really tat shopaholic.
  Lucky you got mention. Noted about osaka-jo to kuromon. Ota Road ....    but but got bring home minister how????   

Umeda will be in my list then.   
Yes yes we fly in Tokyo and out Osaka. Booked it before I had a chance to come here have a look see. Shirakawago i already booked hotel at Shirakawago-yu already.

Thanks for the grouping area tips in tokyo. Its just that we would like to concentrate on the place we want to go first - Tsukiji / Asakusa / Arashiyama / Fushimi Inari. And after that only go for other places. 

JapanBusOnline. Just wondering will be difficult to book the ticket on site? Anyone with experience here?
Hokuriku Arch Pass - noted. thanks for the tips .   

Really appreciate the inputs. I will need to adjust my itinery. Thanks.

hi, just wanna ask some opinion, plan to go japan, but for first time should i go tokyo or kyoto+ osaka or hokkaido ?

I've been looking over hyperdia and google map for the train routes in japan. Just to double confirm my findings: 

When you guys mention Hokuriku Shinkansen, you are referring to the train line / train track right? And the actual train to take is actually called

1. SHINKANSEN KAGAYAKI 521
2. SHINKANSEN HAKUTAKA 555

And do we actually have to make a reservation for our seats from our trip from tokyo to toyama? Or we can just go to the station on the day of the departure and use our Hokuriku Arch Pass to board the train to toyama? 

I did notice in Hyperdia for reservation price is lower than stated for reservation. But if we are using the JR PASS (the hokuriku arch pass), we can overlook the price right?

Guys i going under group tour to Hokkaido in mid Oct for five days

That time very cold ar ? Need prepare anything serious like go artic ?

I'll be using ANA for the first time. Is it necessary to do online check in before departure?
