Any budget/average RM250 - RM300 per night accommodation in Kyoto to recommend?

Which area will be ok?
I am looking at Gion Shoji station.

Hi,

I plan to stay in Osaka and do day-trip to Kyoto for 2 days - is it advisable? I already purchased JR pass - I checked there is a bullet train from Shin-Osaka station to Kyoto station - takes about 15 minutes one way. So should be okay right? If normal train will take quite long. Anyone got experience on this and where is the best place to stay in Osaka?

Thanks.

Hi, I already purchase 7 days JR Pass. Tokyo - Osaka- Kyoto -Tokyo. So thought of maximizing the usage by staying in Osaka (more nightlife) and do day trip for Kyoto visit via bullet train (shin-osaka - kyoto) about 15 mins. This plan okay? 

1 week also insufficient for me in kansai (not confined to only kyoto and osaka) area...

each to his / her own preference i guess

Ok tak? hehe

overnight bus. hehe

final decision is in your hand, we just give our opinion

hi all,
i'm planning to go but not so soon, maybe next year or 2 years but i just want to plan ahead.
i may not have an itinerary yet but the question that i have for now, is which airline is best and not too expensive(ANA is out of my budget) and i'm looking to go for the snow festival at hokkaido. If I want to save on flights should I book a direct from Pen to Sapporo or Pen to any place in Japan, and then local flight to Sapporo?

what to do in Kobe?

Which to book to Tokyo, Cathay Pacific or MAS? Both almost same price, Cathay is about RM100 cheaper than Mas but stopover at HK (just for 1-1/2 hour). Which is better plane to take? I heard MAS lately service quite bad. I took Cathay to HK before and their service is good.

Konbanwa minnasan,

I don't know if this is the right thread to post in. Mods, I leave it up to you to remove or relocate this post. Anyway, I'm going to Tokyo in April and I have booked the Airbnb accommodation in Shinjuku.

The address was in Japanese so I asked for the English version. When I typed the English address in Google Maps I couldn't get the directions from Shinjuku Station.

All I got was 'unnamed roads' which is flabbergasting because I've gone to Japan many times and Google Maps is my Bible to get around. I don't know if it's my browser or if it's a technical error but I tried it for a couple of days.

Anyone faced similar situations before? I want to ask my host but I think it's not really her fault if Google Maps can't show me directions to the accommodation.

hi,

1st time visiting japan here. i bought ticket to tokyo (haneda) from june 1st (depart 2:45pm from KUL) to june 10th. i have a couple of question regarding a number of things

- what season is it there. from google seems to be beginning of raining season?
Summer


- i did not book hotel on june 1st upon arrival as i plan to explore the tokyo at night and try capsule hotel or manga cafe. any area of tokyo that are best to do so at night?

- also as i arriving around 10:45pm at haneda, i plan to buy suica or pasmo on the airport, then take train/subway to the place i ask above. are the timing ok or is it too tight

-on june 8th i plan to take overnight bus to osaka and reach on june 9th morning. explore osaka for the whole day, then depart back to tokyo on the same day, arriving at june 10th. any feedback on this?
Don't do this. definitely not worth. you might as well stay a night in osaka

hi =) wanna ask probably when is ANA and japan airline promo? tq

Sorry if i post in the wrong thread.

When usually ANA will have sales? And how much cheaper it could be?

I'm planning to book flights to Tokyo early April next year.

Hi, been searching hi and low but can't find any. How can I get from Narita terminal 2 airport to Ryogoku station? I plan to stay at Daiichi Hotel Ryogoku as they provide free shuttle to Disneyland. Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you

Only 1 month to go and I only did detailed route planning up to 5th day (out of 14 days) 

Welcome any feedbacks or comments

is 8-10 days enuff to do tokyo & kyoto?

and isit best to just take the shinkansen to kyoto & back? will be travelling with wife and 10yr old son.

Hi,

I'm planning an Osaka-Kyoto trip. Would 13 Nov to 20 Nov be OK to catch the autumn leaves? Is 8D7N enough for this two locations? Will be travelling with elderly, so will try to have not too packed schedule. Won't be going to Universal Studio.

If I go for flights that will arrive KIX at around 9pm+, would it be too rush to catch a train to Osaka/Kyoto? I checked a few airlines but mostly either arrive early morning or night. Any suggestions?

Anyone had tried travel recommends pocket wifi in JP? If yes, do share your experience with their service, reliable?

for those that went to USJ :-

1. Where did you guys buy your tickets from ? (USJ JP site/ klook/ kiosk @ lawson) ?

I'm not targeting to take on all the rides maybe just a few popular ones, so I'm intending to get the VIP wristband instead of the express pass. Has anyone tried this method before ?

Hi all,

I need advice on the below itinerary.

Day 1: Arrival at almost midnight
Day 2: Tokyo (Asakusa, Skytree, Akihabara, Ueno, Tokyo Tower, Kokyo Gaien, Ginza, Tsukiji if still there next year)
Day 3: Tokyo Disneyland
Day 4: Hokane, Gotemba, Lake Kawaguchiko
Day 5: Lake Kawaguchiko >> back to Tokyo (Odaiba, Shinjuku)
Day 6: Nikko Day trip
Day 7: Saitama Day trip
Day 8: Tokyo (Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Ikeburo)
Day 9: Tokyo free & easy & fly back to KL at night

Do I need JR pass? The ticket is MYR 1k+ but mostly my trips are still within Kanto region (except Fuji). Currently I'm not too sure if buying unlimited pass will be better or using IC card is better. Any other cards to recommend if according to the above itinerary? Try to squeeze my budget actually.

Thanks for the info 
From your experience, which would be better, to start the trip from Kyoto first or from Osaka first? Should I squeeze in a day trip to Nara too?

Walao gg le. I gonna reach kansai 11/4

My trip reach kansai 11/4 and Tokyo on 16/4 and go back from Tokyo on 20/4.

Gonna miss everything? Lol gg

Hi all. Me and my bro will going to osaka this june (23-29). Our trip is mostly on osaka town, kyoto and usj trip. May I know what season for this? Is it summer?

I don't think you can even get out of Malaysia with < 6 months validity. Why risk it?
