Come think of it, i went there on saturday, so that might be the cause.

Also take note: Only Planet has the section where your feet will get wet, make sure you change to short pants before entering.

For Borderless, no need to change short pants (no water), but there's 1 room where you are walking on suspended web, so don't wear high heels (they do provide shoe rental iirc)

Ticket wise, you can also buy directly in Japan via kiosk at the entrance using CC. So do double check the local pricing and klook pricing.

What do men wear during autumn?
Shorts or long pants?

long pants la... pakai jeans je... it can be quite cold at night.

Genting highland late night is like afternoon during autumn, 15C? If you want to find out your tolerance to cold.

Last time I go during winter 0C - 10C also wear long pant without long john.

Damn im leaving to tokyo tmr.

Just want to know their fashion. Worried I look weird if I wear short pants during autumn . My last 2 visits to Japan is always during winter in Dec and Feb which can go negatives. That one confirmed winter wear. Just that I never experience autumn before

Shud be fine, but public transport maybe not working and attractions might be closed for a day or two

Tot flight cancel already for today & tomorrow?

Tmr nope. For now mine still as scheduled.

Sunday everything back to normal. Those Japan workaholic also back to work on Sunday due to today didnt go working, feel very guilty to company.

Everything back to normal except areas yang kena landslide, flooding

Going to Osaka, Kobe, Nara and Kyoto

1) is it good to rent a car to drive around. Not in Osaka but when going Kobe / Nara / Kyoto

2) is it advisable for driving within Kyoto

3) also it seems accommodation in Osaka is cheaper than Kyoto. Make sense to base myself at Osaka and travel to and fro?

Thanks in advance

Your itinerary seems to be a bit packed.. Not doing anything on day 1?

Icoca card is the easiest and no need to headache.

Kansai region I feel their public transportation access is really good, I really don't see the point of driving around. Almost all attractions can reach with train or bus. Moreover, petrol and parking fees gonna cost you a bomb.

You can put your base at Osaka and travel around, just need to take out some time for travel but it's not an issue at all. My last trip I stayed at my friend's house in Kobe and I travelled on daily basis out to Osaka/Kyoto/Nara.

Thanks for your reply. It’s very likely I’m not gonna drive this time. Few more questions if you don’t mind

1) I’ll be touching down at Kansai international airport. Any recommendation on the type of JR pass should I buy for value to go around the 4 places or is it not necessary? It will be for 7 days 6 nights

2) On the base to stay, my only worry on staying in Osaka is because the plan is to see the Kyoto autumn view including night scenes of the autumn. Worry about the transport back i guess

1) I never use JR Pass in Kansai area, last trip I used Kansai Thru Pass and this time (next month) I will use Icoca pass (like our TnG card here), so reload when I need to. JR Pass will limit your movement as it is only limited to JR lines. JR Pass for foreigners need to buy beforehand, before you reach Japan.

2) I don't think you will walk until 11 p.m. at Kyoto right?

The only route that is worth buying JR west pass (1 day) will be day trip Himeji, which is just slightly further than Kobe.

Can visit Mt. Shosha, Himeji Castle and the garden next to it.

Do note you still need to pay for transport from Castle to ropeway station AND the cable car ticket. They do sell the combi ticket for 1400 yen at bus terminal. Also the combi ticket EXCLUDE admission fees to enter the temple on top of Mt. Shosha
