Hi, can I visit Tsukiji market in the evening?? Are there still any stuffs to see...

I do not need to see the tuna auction... but my worry is most of the shops will be closed by evening

so it's actually better to buy USJ ticket at USJ itself since it will be cheaper than buying locally right ?

as for Kaiyukan...it's widely known as the 2nd best aquarium in japan while the best is Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, i have been to singapore one and i prefer kaiyukan more but that's personal preference

never been to kyoto aquarium though
*
USJ u just need to look for deals like in klook apps. Sometime can be very very cheap lile last friday buy1free1 offers.
Kaiyukan is the second best, its cheaper as well if u buy outside and u may skip the Q to go in. Sometime their Q are crazy for Kaiyukan.
Kyoto u may skip if u already been to Kaiyukan.

Answer:
1. Yes. Jr Pass nationwide is kinda essential. Shud start the day u depart to Kyoto and end on the day u go back to Tokyo. From your schedule, probably start Day 7 end with Day 13. U might wanna re-adjust your trip for Hakone or Kawaguchiko. If u in Hakone, Jr train pass is useful. But if lake kawaguchiko, jr train only travel to half and another half by private railway.
2. Both have few exchange, check here for more info: http://www.hyperdia.com/
3. If your pass is one week, u might consider those place that have more usage on the pass like Tokyo > Hakone > Kyoto > Tokyo, longer journey with Jr.

Guys,

What do you all think of reaching KIX at 6am while the flight is 7:35am? Domestic flight to Tokyo.

Earliest train to KIX is 5:15am and reach 6pm for the Nankai Express, i know where is limo bus but i considering getting a pass for nankai express with Osaka Kaiyukan (3000 yen include Entrance fees + one trip Nankai express)
*
It's very risky for 1 and half hour layover. Suggest u have minimum 3 hours for inter-transit.
Earliest is 5:15am and reach 6pm? confused.gif

Going to Tokyo in Oct but should I book the hotel now? Or there is some sale in next few month? Coz I see most of hotel around 500-1000.
*
my style is book early.
If you see any more deals later, cancel previous one and book the one u see that deal is good.
But of coz make sure u read the hotel cancellation policy first la before u make any booking.
