Hi Guys ,

Is Shinjuku Highway Bus Terminal is same with Shinjuku expressway Bus terminal ?

Thanks.

going to arashiyama on 5th Oct
planned to take the sagano scenic train from kameoka station to arashiyama station instead(downward)

found out that period(1st oct to 7th oct) is a china national day holiday

want to ask, need to pre-purchase ticket for that particular train ride or able to purchase on site?
based on their website, seem like tickets of downward is more famous than upward

unless u plan for whole day in arashiyama, just go upward. finish visiting Arashiyama area 1st in the morning then hitch the train from arashiyama.
either way require u to walk to train station (the scenic train station <> normal station). it quite a long walk btw.

we din pre-purchase due to sold out (scalper i think) n other site selling overprice, we bought it on Kyoto station early. still managed to get good open-air car seat tho.

i don't plan whole day in arashiyama
my plan is actually to take JR from kyoto station to umahori station thn from scenic train from kameoka station to arashiyama station
after done with arashiyama thn take the bus from arashiyama to kinkakuji

but from their website, the downward is more famous than upward...the earliest 9.30AM train often labelled "X" which is sold out
because if need to pre-purchase, i might skip the scenic train completely because no time in my schedule to pick up
since i will be doing it on my 3rd day in JP and the office only opens from 10AM-6PM

u dont need to pre-purchase, u can buy it few day early or when u arrived at kyoto station. if there is no good time slot, just give it up.

be it upward or downward, whichever is fine. i choose upward since my plan to visit arashiyama early.

i did same trip like urs. Arashiyama > sagano scenic train then return n head to Kinkakuji by bus.

hi i just google it

maybe Fukuoka very rarely will get snow, and very small snow.....

first day arrive kyoto prolly near or is midnight already
2nd say hectic day for kiyomizudera till nishiki market
3rd day is arashiyama

so i don't think i would be able to buy or pickup the ticket(if i even pre-purchase)
now is prolly check 1 night before if there is still ticket to decide to go umahori or just arashiyama and skip the train

initially is arashiyama thn sagano train to kameoka thn boat trip back
but after knowing the price of the boat trip, had to change to current plan

If it's too hectic, it's not a must to take the sagano train or the boat ride and be packed with other tourists to get that famous postcard angle picture. The main areas of Arashiyama is packed enough outside of public holidays. If you don't mind, i will recommend to explore the deeper parts of Arashiyama like Jōjakkōji Temple and Giouji Temple.

Huh... can scalp in Japan? Most of the tickets require names on the tickets. So unless Romantic train tickets doesn't require name when purchasing then there is a possibility.

tried to book early, but somehow all slot are taken. other site selling the tix, but kinda overprice (this make me think ppl are scalping)
we choose to buy em on the counter physically as they only limit amount tix for pre-purchase n left some for counter selling.

talking bout tix reselling, u know those cheap/discounted train/shinkansen tix they are selling at small kiosk/shop.
those are working ppl buying those tix, get receipt n claimed company, then they travel by cheap overnight bus instead.

but then perhaps they update the law n require names, tho last year i still see those type of shop still opening tho.

i believe other than the train and boat ride.. the Arashiyama town itself is beautiful enough for you to explore..

Ah... yes. Even Disneyland tickets are available at those convenience stores. I didn't bother because it was only slightly cheaper. So safer to buy online or onsite.

it's just something to add in while i'm there
and only the train ride attracts me, the boat ride is way too expensive

yes, if end up sold out, will take the train straight to arashiyama instead

I totally agree! My wife and I spent a whole day in Arashiyama. We didn't do the train and boat ride but we explored the northern side where there are some beautiful temples and gardens, and so much quieter than the main town area. Plus, the main town area has plenty of things to see, taste and explore.

Yeah.. cant wait to explore that place in mid Nov.. hopefully the autumn is at its peak by then (just pray)..

Anyone went to hokkaido during autumn? Is it nice?

if u go at the correct time when the leaves change colour
it should be really nice

anyone planning to go olympics 2020 tokyo? i search for rooms...all sold out...any tips and recommendations? it will be a once in a lifetime experience for me

Good day folks. Want to ask; What will be the best route if i would like to do Okinawa-Fukuoka-Osaka (not really interested actually) on December? I was thinking maybe Osaka>Okinawa>Fukuoka>Osaka to avoid layover via Fukuoka. Any other recommendations???

Thanks a million in advance...
