Going to Japan for the 4th time and will be bringing my waifu and it's her first time planning to go around 8-10 days thinking of doing either the meme route Osaka(with Kobe and Himeji) - Kyoto - Tokyo (with Hakone). This will be full 10 days Osaka 1 day (kuromon, aquarium and castle), Himeji and Kobe 1 day, Kyoto 3 days, Tokyo 5 days or the Tokyo route (7-8 days) Tokyo, Nikko, Hakone which one is the best to bring waifu for her first timer? Kinda incline to bring her to use the meme route but a bit rushing. Wanted to do the Osaka route only but last year I alone oredi go there explore gao gao so wanted to try Tokyo Will be visiting Japan again maybe at Olympics

Sifu please help need your opinion on this
1. Going to Fuji Q and Hakone (Onsen and do all those Odakuwani, etc. trip) should I sleep at Hakone or just go back to Tokyo and the next day go back to enjoy? Pros going back is no need to bring luggage that's all lol
2. If going to Nikko, is it better to sleep there or how? I've read that it's a very big place but really unsure if should spend a night there. Yet again lazy to haul my big luggage prefer to make a base in Tokyo lol.

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Mar 15 2018, 07:37 PM) 1. Stay 1 night if possible. You can leave luggage at coin locker and retrieve when you're back. 2. Recommend to stay a night there. The pass itself is not cheap so more worthwhile for you to stay a night since you're already there  and no, just pay a little for coin locker and chuck your big luggage there! Just pack enough for 2D1N in Nikko in a backpack or handcarry. eh is it possible to leave your luggage for 2 days inside a locker? I thought its for 24 hours only lol

Hmm still thinking
11 days trip to Japan with my wife (her first time there)
1) Land in Tokyo using ANA and then buy jr pass
pros: use ana, shinkansen to kyoto cons: expensive
2) Land in Kansai go back through SIA or Air Asia
pros: SIA, willer express to kl, cheap cons: lazy to transit at Singapore
3) Land in Tokyo using ANA, use willer express both ways to Osaka and Tokyo
pros: very cheap, save on accomodation cons: slow, a bit tiring
which one should I use :/ dont really wanna spend a lot on jr pass tbh but if terpaksa what to dooo

QUOTE(cc980024 @ Sep 18 2018, 09:10 AM) Actually where you planning to go? Tokyo or Kansai, or both? Maybe you can source for flight of 'multiple city'. I am flying in Tokyo, out from Osaka on MAS. Get my ticket during sales about RM1500-1600. Bout RM100-200 more than Return flight of Tokyo during that promo time. In between, I am taking ANA.. to Hokkaido, then Osaka. Guess my way of transfer is not cheap but minimize my trouble. For me, I will prevent time consuming travel. As annual leave are very precious, make the most out of your vacation. good idea, will try to check ANA flight timing wanted to try air asia but lmao almost the same price liao

QUOTE(sacwoc @ Sep 18 2018, 10:34 AM) There are alot to think of here and also what is important. When you talk about cheap and expensive, how much is the price difference? Also not many people can sleep in the bus, ie me.  If you cannot really sleep the next day you will really feel it after a few walk. And most important of all, its your wife first trip to JP. A happy wife makes a happy trip.  Agreed with a happy wife makes a happy trip after a few thoughts I think I'll change all and make a Tokyo only trip for 8-9 days Will just relax throughout our trip, make a few sidetrips eg: Hakone (sleep one night), Saitama(Choo choo museum) and Kamakura/Nikko maybe next year will be our Kansai only trip
