From what is shown on Google maps that's updated by Japanese weather bureau
The typhoon will hit more on Tokyo than Kansai area

Damn im leaving to tokyo tmr.

how about Kawaguchigo?

Kawaguchigo the best spot in Japan? a must to go place?
have you bought osaka amazing pass? 50 places for free sure no boring la.

I have bought osaka amazing pass so I need to stay in osaka for 3 days. Kyoto 2 days enough? kyoto doesn't have amazing pass like osaka where we can go 50 places for free

here are some tips for those who're travelling to kansai region

1. the immigration process only took 2-5 mins from the moment u queue, they have so many machine on standby
2. going out of japan are all using self check out machine like in KLIA2 for malaysian...but apply to all local and tourist
3. each place like kyoto, osaka, nara, kobe has their own confectionery(biscuit, cake..etc) so be sure to grab them if u see something u like...u can't get them if you left there....kit kat included
4. the seat availability for the sagano romantic train in their website is innacurate...it changes from time to time
5. if you're taking the bus from golden pavilion back to kyoto station, u can actually disembark at a bus stop in front of the kyoto university and visit the imperial palace and walk down toward kawaramachi(saves u a train ride to gion-shijo station from kyoto station)
6. visit fushimi inari by 7.30AM, it takes 1 hour to reach the top and 1 hour to go down....the moment you're half way down..you'll alot of people going up
7. the train in kansai region is more straight forward as compared to tokyo which is complicated
8. kobe is a huge area, i personally prefer u guys overnight if u wanna explore the whole place....it takes around 50mins to go there from namba station and back
i personally go kitano area, walk back down to chinatown...did not manage to visit harbourland

after some research and countless reading of blogs and contribution from this thread, here is my itinerary.
the temples in Kyoto are just for reference. i don't enjoy touch n go and will stay in the area if i like it and skip other places.

the notes in japan isn't the biggest, in fact it's the smallest
the biggest issue is the coinssssss
yes, i put many s behind because there will be a lot

What's the best use of 1 Yen coins?
Keep them until they make up a sizeable amount worthy of using like 100 Yen?
