Nice. When you meant "chasing after these trains" were you doing literally or really doing it?

You mean "chase" as for rushing to work?

I am always fascinated by trains, since when I was a young boy. I look at them but I don't go chasing them.

Oh btw, anybody been to the Train Museum in Nagoya? A must visit for all train enthusiasts. thumbup.gif

Really drive and chase the train, and standby at those photo spots before the train arrives.

Yup... Am looking forward to Kyushu and Fukuoka areas too for future travel. Hopefully the Japanese Yen will drop back to 37.3 so that it would be easier on the pockets. 
TBH I feel that going to Japan and Europe costs almost the same. With the exception of cheaper airfare to Japan compared to Europe/UK which is much further away. Costs of food, transportation and lodging are almost similar if you convert out from RM.

If you looking towards Kyushu, and want an authentic more Japanese feel, and less touristy with plenty of hidden gems, and I guess more poignant, then I would highly recommend Nagasaki city and surrounding area.

My chase means experience.

Entire Japan from North to South;East to West. All Limited Express, All Shinkansen Model Including 0 Series & Class also experience already. From cheapest to most expensive

Any railway Line from shortest to longest, From Most North,South,East,West Station of Japan + Highest elevation Station in Japan also "check in".

All Sleeper Train (most of them already retired from service)

My Current most expensive train experience in Japan are Kyushu Seven Star

Now left last to conquer will be [[Shiki Shima]]

Hello guys. I'm gonna travel for the first time to Osaka, Japan alone this coming March. Just wanna ask if 100,000 yen is enough just for food for 8-10 days stay in Japan. Going there mainly for the food. Dying to try the ramen there. biggrin.gif

I have been to Nobeyama station...the highest station in Japan.(it says on the plague). I have always thought the shinkansen is the most expensive. laugh.gif This Kyushu Seven Star should be very expensive looking at your pictures. This should be something like our E&O. nod.gif

Rm4k for 10 days would be more than enough, though depending on what you are looking at. I would say with that budget, you are most likely to be looking at lower to middle range food prices.

Photographing the Tadami line has always been in my bucket list so far. I love to take photographs of trains, especially rural trains like the Akita Nairiku Line and at Naruko Gorge. I had fun chasing after these trains.

Even if you can afford it, it takes months before you can get a turn on the nanatsuboshi.

Definately not for the average traveller. sweat.gif

Hey i read Kobe Nunobiki Ropeway and Maya Ropeway/Cable is different.

Both going up on the same mountain but different parts. The Nunobiki has the Herb Garden while the Maya Ropeway is harder to access but has night service on weekends.

Anybody been on it? Which one is better or should we go both biggrin.gif

Yeah I'm only goin to hit up the ramen places over there. Some curry places, okonomiyaki, street foods and some others. Not interested in going to the more upscale places. Planning on going on a seperate trip this year for the sushi restaurants.

I can't remember who it was but to the person who asked me if TeamLab is worth it, my answer is YES!

I went to Planets today and it was so unique and amazing. Not many visitors and didn't feel cramped at all. Can enjoy your own personal space.

Then it would be more than enough. You can buy a quite a bit of street food as you go along. So not necessarily everyday you gotta have the same ramen or rice.
