that was back then...the year i went in 2018 ady gone up to 1.4k. Now its 1.6k for normal price with no promo...miss ANA

yes. went there last year. what you wanna know?

IC. Btw, I have upgraded to premium seat because currently Willer is having promo for premium. Just addition 300yen extra. Thanks bro.

I sat before at Tokyo during daytime. They are so professional compared to our bus drivers.

I am planning to go do this route. Plan to start from Nagano and end at Dentetsu Toyama Station. Issue is Im planning on driving to Nagano and starting from this side but the route will end at Toyoma. Either option would be is to take the car forwarding service which costs 25000yen to shuttle the car to Toyoma or I have to take the Shinkansen back to Toyoma to collect my car. The other method is to go to Toyoma side and go up through Tateyama right up to Murodo and return back to Tateyama to collect my car. Can I backtrack like this because I saw the Tateyama Kurobe Option Ticket is only for on way and cant be backtracked. Is there any better other method to go about this? All inputs welcome.

Option ticket is a cheaper way to complete the whole route in 1-direction.

You definitely can backtrack by purchasing the tickets separately.

Thank you. Any other options other than the ones I mentioned?

Hi all sifu, I will be visiting kansai during sakura season, if given 1-2 days time during the full bloom, which sakura spot in kyoto you guys will prioritize?

i would recommend you complete the whole route. otherwise its just like seeing halfway.

once you're at toyama, take the shinkansen back to nagano.

its only 1 way up becoz by the time you reach toyama its already close to dusk

when did you purchase the tickets ?

6 months ahead ?

Shinkansen is another 1 hours 15 mins back to Nagano and it costs 7200 yen one way.

he really got it cheap, i got my autumn 2017 tix for ard 1400. this year i hunting for mas or aa tix only coz going osaka direct.

Anyone back from Fukuoka recently via Airasia?

So after returning in less than a month, hand itchy to go back
Wanted to go end of July this year because got some event I like to attend.

So searching around for airline for this time and I found the prices for ANA/JAL/MAS (>RM2k) too much for my budget.
Alternatives are Royal Brunei (RBA) and Philippine Airlines (PAL). (~RM1.4k)

So far anyone tried PAL can share experience?
No IFE hahaha but since it's a red-eye flight I don't really mind.
That 2 x 23kg baggage allowance is nice.

Dear Japan Veteran Travellers..

May I ask, how do you deal with public/shared bathrooms in Japan ?

I am visiting Fuji area, and since there are very limited accomodations.. I had to choose a accomodation with a Shared Bathroom (open shower area) , right next to their Onsen ...

My wife and I are really not sure what to think, and how this will go... I am currently doing my research online about their etiquette , and .... How do you Malaysians handle Shared Bathing in Japan ? Going in naked to bath is quite unnerving ! lol... Please advice ..

My wife was thinking of wearing her simple swimwear to shower (not entering Onsen) ... But is that rude? Or can we just quickly shower with any swimsuit and get out quickly? LOL sorry if this is a funny question.... Sumimasen... T

I book Wfi Router from Travel Recommends. Seems like a good deal for those who needs WiFi router. I'll be travelling to Osaka on the date bought.

Around RM8.40 per day.

27needles Just go naked only lo. Why need to be so self conscious when everyone else in the shower area is also naked?

Just avoid eye contact haha

Normally onsen won't allow clothes/swimwear into the bath and onsen area. What ur wife can do is take a piece of towel to cover the modesty part lor. or just choose a later hour when nobody is using.

Don't think swimwear is allowed so scrape that idea.
Normally they provide you with a small towel that you put on your head during onsen so she may be able to use that for something else...

Otherwise, it's a matter of getting used to it being naked.
Nobody will really look at you since the Japs are so used to it already.

8 month ahead.

Is it me or from searching ANA even until next year the tickets sold are the Economy Basic S Class tickets?
Quite expensive (>RM1.9k) and can't find the cheap promo Class L/K tickets anymore
Sad.

Just dont think too much. First time is always the hardest. . After a while you will get the "hang" of it. If not try going off peak hours like dinner/lunch time.
