Hi guys, in a plan of a vacation to Hokkaido mid of November
Know it’s a low season and not much scenery, thought to find some input what else can go for and do around
Food, sight-seeing (if any), visit, etc

Your input is welcomed, thanks

Wait serious?
I am going to land there
Is it much less featured versus KANSAI?
Like whether we can get pass, etc stuff at counters there?

yup, i m landing at Narita then transfer to Domestic to Itami...
that means i will need to complete clearance at Narita through custom, then re-check in to domestic?
cannot go through transit directly?

I am booking from same Airlines, ANA
the flight itinerary is
KUL -> Narita (est. Layover 2.5hr) -> Itami

KIX -> Haneda (est. layover 1hr50m) -> KUL


first time taking this kind of Int-Domestic, Domestic-Int transfer, wonder how it will be?

Thanks
so means i still got to do all the regular tourist thing, except when pass through custom, then straight look for place to domestic transfer and proceed there for check in and luggage drop?
Based on my itinerary, i m landing at Narita at 1540, flight to Itami is 1810, 2.5hr sufficient for all that?

and now after google, it seems my return trip, KIX - Haneda - KUL, the Haneda will be at Terminal 2, then move to International terminal. Scheduled landing time is 2215, flight to KUL is 0005, 1hr 50m, crazy short...hahaha...

This is the same I have
So looks like no issue given like yours
And since time is more than enough
Anything to plan or eat after get into there?
Though if can have light dinner there first before next flight

So now biggest concern is the KIX-HND-KUL, which has only 1h50m between and need move between terminal

Called ANA helpdesk just now...Free shuttle bus should be ok too as its every 4min, and only 8min to reach.
I was thought i found somewhere writing if you are connecting from domestic to international, you can go board keikyu or monorail for free, but couldn't trace where
probably see what the ground staff will recommend when i at scene.

yup, recommended by here and ANA lol for Narita, just the caution needed for Haneda return flight.
No need for luggage retrieve if you make sure they done "check-through" for your luggage tag (when you get your 2 boarding pass)

btw...I saw my web reservation there asking for me to put in passport details, which seems it will do auto-check-in for me 24/48hr before flight.
Is it advisable to do so? can i let it check in web, then print boarding pass at airport while luggage drop, or i should print myself?

I already selected the seat even without the passport...

I not so worry of the entering Japan...
more for the leaving...as need to go from Haneda T2 to TI, and scheduled turn around time is 1h50m only
if smooth ok la...

Cool

right now schedule and accommodation in place...yet to plot in spots to visit or food to try, but my itinerary currently is
12/11 - ANA KUL 0800 -> NRT (Transfer 2hr30m) -> ITM 1940 (stays Osaka)
13/11 - Osaka
14/11 - Head to Kobe/Himeji (stays Kobe)
15/11 - Half day Kobe, back to Osaka (stays Osaka)
16/11 - Kyoto
17/11 - Kyoto
18/11 - Kyoto
19/11 - Half day Kyoto, back Osaka
20/11 - Osaka/Nara
21/11 - Osaka
22/11 - Osaka
23/11 - Osaka half day, check out, last minute shopping, KIX 2105 -> HND (transfer 1hr50m) -> KUL 24/11 0645

Hope this is good enough to cover, just that now need to plot spots n route for each days
