Got elderly bro, just incase if we needs it i know where to find. Thanks for your advise bro.

Hi guys, i am looking at the option of going to Tokyo via Cathay Pacific.

If i buy the ticket from Cathay Pacific official website, the return flight requires transit of only 1 hour and 5 minutes within the same terminal (terminal 1, that is). The flight between Narita and HK is Cathay Pacific (CX), while the flight between HK to KL is Cathay Dragon (KA)

Just want to be sure:
- is it correct to assume that when i check in my luggage in Narita, it will check thru all the way to KL without me needing to claim my luggage in between right? Understood that cathay pacific and cathay dragon is abang adik lah
- is 1 hour 5 mins of transit time enuf? i read that HK airport is very efficient and it should be enuf. but has anyone had such experience?

thanks!

Yes, luggage all the way from Tokyo to KL.

If they have such selection that means it is enough for you to transit. Assuming if due to delayed flight from Narita and you miss your connecting flight, Cathay will arrange you to board another flight, so no worries.

u use those e-hailing, their price is no different than any taxi on the road
so prepare to pay, only rich tourist take taxi in JP

I think for short distance travel for example between Kitaoji and Kinkakuji, it makes sense to take a taxi if you have 4 people in your group (especially if a few are elderly).
I would use public transport majority of the time but I can see the merit in taking taxis for such instances.

Any simpler way to go to Ginkakuji from Kinkakuji or vice versa?

Show me your face picture then I told you the answer.

I wonder how does their taxi industry sustain if only rich tourist & Japanese uses them?

Alot of Japanese using taxi. For Japan, time is everything....business traveler will used taxi to go any meeting and claim from company.
Japan after work need go social with co-worker and drink until late night, sometimes too late until miss last train then had to take taxi or sleep at comic book / computer store.

if you earn Japanese Yen then price of taxi actually consider reasonable.

Probably the most straightforward way is that Raku bus, might take a loooong time though

japanese uses them, no problem at all because of how much they earn
it's only hard on the tourist
japanese take the shinkansen like nothing as well but for us, it looks expensive
and many of the taxi, they're being "booked" at night to take the "girls" from 1 place to another

It's OK. I'm already planning to skip Gingakuji because not accessible for me.
Just that I didn't manage to go last trip and this trip also seems like not possible.

Hmm.. I read about a bus route that takes long time, maybe this is the one...

For me, Kinkakuji is easiest from Kitaoji station and Ginkakuji is easiest as the last stop on PP starting from Nanzenji.
It does mean 2 separate days but at least less time is spent on the bus

Thats true. Sometimes I am just lazy to squeeze into the train after work and just pay for the taxi to go home that cost about 4000yen. If you do direct conversion to MYR is of course expensive. Relatively its about MYR40.

I will have to see Ginkakuji is nearer to which other attractions and see if I can squeeze in some time.

If you go from south to north, it will be Nanzenji > Eikando > Reikanji > Honen-in > Ginkakuji with PP starting somewhere from Eikando onwards.
You can do that route in half a day.

Even as a tourist, truthfully, I still see their rates as being reasonable considering the transparency of it, availability, much superior level of service, and the hassle free unlike our overpriced yet still plenty of headaches taxies. Even Grab here gives me headaches at times.

Thanks, let me plan first.

what is the problem with GRAB here ?

Hi just a quick one.
I'm in Fukuoka right now, staying nearby Yakuin subway station.

Any idea where can I get the Kuromon market like Kobe/Wagyu slab cooked over stall instead of restaurant? Not planning to go full course due to budget.

Also if I were to call a cab to airport in the midnight, let's say about 2am (flight at 7am), any apps that is user friendly like Grab in Malaysia? 4 pax with 4 luggage looking for maybe a 6 seater car.
