Guys, just a quick update for my plan. Yesterday I went to get more information in JR Railway Cafe in Singapore which they provide free service for advice and JR ticket purchase ( USJ and Dsineyland as well ).
1) According to this Japanese Lady I approached. Golden week is the second highest peak in the entire year. ( Top highest peak is end of the year ). Hence, either from Tokyo to Osaka or Osaka to Tokyo will be very packed. It's unlikely I will be able to get seat during the JR travel, unless I get one way ticket. ( Which required to make the seat reservation and collect ticket in Japan and cannot be purchase online ).
2) It seems like taking flight is much cheaper than taking JR railway. SGD200+ for flight with maximum luggage weight of 40kg per person. Here is my updated itinerary.
28th April - 8am Arrive Narita Airport, Tokyo
- 12:45pm Depart at Narita Airport, Tokyo
- 2:15pm Reach Kansai Airport, Osaka
29th April - Nara
30th April - USJ
1st May - Osaka
2nd May - Osaka
3rd May - Kansai
4th May - Kansai
5th May - Kansai
6th May - 7:45am/2:05pm Depart at Kansai Airport, Osaka
- 8:55am/3:25pm Arrive at Narita Airport, Tokyo
7th May - Disney SEA
8th May - Shibuya and Shinjuku
9th May - Mount Fuji
10th May - Akibahara
11th May - Temple Hopping ????
12th May - 5:05pm Depart at Haneda Airport, Tokyo
She told me that there is no difference for foreigner between the temple in Tokyo and Kyoto. She suggested me to skip the temple hopping in Tokyo instead.
For the 6th May, I'm not sure which flight time is good. Do you all able to advise me?
If skipped the temple hopping. What else I can replace? For Mount Fuji, I can travel there in the morning, stay one night there, the next day morning will go back Tokyo. So I guess just one day is sufficient
Taking flight is actually a better option as a few LCC, like Vanilla and Peach are flying from Narita to Kansai. These flight are flying of from T3 and there are free shuttle buses between T1, T2 and T3.
As for 6th May, of course earlier the better, which gives you more time to explore Tokyo. From Narita to the city center will take you about an hour. Assuming you have checked in baggage, you should be reaching the city between 10:30-11am - just nice for lunch.
