That's not too bad for the price you paid.

Next time I don't need to pay for my flights anymore, all will be exchanged with points. laugh.gif
I bought AA because I didn't have enough points that time to exchange for business class to Osaka and didn't want to waste my points for Economy only. laugh.gif So gonna suffer a bit but I bought seat at quiet zone and at first row, so bigger legroom. Maybe when I come back that time, I will check out how much it costs to upgrade to flatbed because my flight will be close to midnight and I need to sleep. sweat.gif Then, again it will cost more than SQ econ. sweat.gif laugh.gif

You can try walk, Kyoto is surprisingly well planned for pedestrian alongside kamokawa (the long historical river that you see on rightside of the map that links to the former palace, Emperor of Japan use for Hanami back on Edo Period, this was also why so many cherry blossom tree there)

I think you are going on November if I am not mistaken? November month will be having good weather, not too hot and not too cold.

In my Kyoto trip on early March year 2016. It was Plum blossom season, I mostly walk throughout my trip because the view was too good for me to keep walking, not to mention a friendly old lady that works as traffic guide that I met, I even walk from

1) Kyoto University to Arashiyama (12km) I did it, i just treat this as some kind of scenery walking marathon lol. It took me like 4 hours because I also visited Kitano Tenmagu and grabbed some lunch in Kura Sushi near that temple area.

2) Nijo to Kyoto station (4-6km)

3) Kyoto University to Gion and Kiyomizu dera (4km)

AND the best I don't feel tired at all, especially number 2 and number 3.

I really enjoyed walking in Japan that is so pedestrian-friendly, not only Kyoto. I had been walked in Sapporo, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura and many more, either alone or with some partner. I sincerely hope that Malaysia could become a place that are pedestrian-friendly and well planned, at least a walk-able city is one of the criteria to become first world.

Thanks for reading.

Nice writeup. Another option would be to rent a bicycle if you are alone or with a partner who knows how to ride one. Saves a lot of walking time and you can see many things like walking.

I went there before for FY 2018 new year.
Ticket was expensive but you get to enter and re-enter from 7pm 31st till next day closure...
As usual, crowded and each popular ride are at least an hour of waiting..
The longest I wait was 2 hours which is for the new minion ride...

Thanks for mentioning about osaka amazing pass, I honestly thought it was just an unlimited rides pass like Kansai thru pass and like many other passes.

I went through the list of free entrances and it might be worthwhile to get the 1 day pass considering I have 3 full days to spend in Osaka.

Quite interested in the Osaka wonder Cruise, Osaka housing and living (definitely), Japan night walk tour, nakanoshima night view cruise, Osaka Tennoji zoo, keitakuen garden, redhorse osaka wheel, expo 70 commemorative Park.

With reference to the Osaka Amazing Pass and klook has 10% off (max RM50 discount) no minimum amount today, I'm thinking of getting a 2 day pass instead which I can utilise more compared to 1 day.

On average the pass will cost me RM125 per person. Just by simple calculations:

Assuming transportation cost for one return trip at minimum average costs 200Y x2 = 400Y, I would only need to make 8 return trips for 2 days to fully utilise the 2 day pass. That's not even counting the free entrances to various places yet.

Depends on the damage, this typhoon seems like a very damaging one. Despite that, almost everything will resume the next day or two after landfall

Also, airport might be closed, depending on how close the eye is. Last time Kansai closed for a week cos of a tanker hitting the bridge connecting it to mainland
