I think your question isn't clear.

You're going to Japan so why can't you buy the cigarettes by yourself? Is it due to the quantity restriction per person to hand carry/check in?

Anyhow I'm sure there are people who might help..

Too bad it's only available during summer..

Which code is this? As there are two 20% off codes..

Any idea what's the minimum amount needed to get this 20% off and max discount value?

Any idea what's the TNC to get this?

Don't need to sweat over a few hundred $ la bro considering a holiday trip to Japan is in the region of thousands of $. Small savings is of course good but not a deal break. Have a fun trip to Japan

On the other hand, the other 15%/20% discounts still apply to things like ICOCA/Airport trains/trips/etc. I will be getting my nankai and haruka with the vouchers. Kimono rental not decided yet as you need to specify the exact date..

Klook codes.

Not sure why the pictures are displayed sideways..

Just need some clarification on the following:

1) Can I purchase Haruka using Kansai One Pass?
2) The only place to purchase Haruka in Kyoto is at Kyoto station?
3) The discounted Haruka from Kyoto to Kansai airport costs 1,600 Yen right?

Thanks!

Further to question 1 regarding "Can I purchase Haruka using Kansai One Pass?"...

I found out ICOCA only works on JR lines where Nankai is not a JR line, so technically you can't use ICOCA to pay for a Nankai Limited express ticket?

Thanks!

My plane is arriving at 920 p.m at night and I hope I can make it for the Limited express last train at 10.55pm. If I could not make it, I would have to take the normal Express train and I hope there won't be many people else gotta stand the whole way, also there's no dedicated storage space



Another question:

After touchdown, I need to purchase 2 things:

1) Kansai One Pass at JR West ticket office
2) Nankai Limited express/normal

Is the nankai ticket office at the same place as the JR West ticket office?

Apparently, the JR West ticket office is located at the airport station next to the airport (need to cross bridge).

Not sure how far is it but you can get an idea here:

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.

Kyoto is well known for its old Town, Gion and the tons of beautiful shrines/temples/gardens. A more picturesque place in my opinion especially if you're into photography.

I only intend to visit a few places in Osaka hence the one day pass only and the passes are not cheap lol. Most of the time would be shopping/window shopping, eating and walking around.

Thanks! That's quite a relief!

I might still go for the limited express if I can reach the ticket office early. More comfy as I will have my hands free and can check messages/sim card activation, check hotel reservations, etc.

I would arrive at Namba and rhe hotel is only 11 minutes walking distance but I think I'll take the taxi as its late at night already (close to 12 midnight?).

I read that there is a 20% extra charge for late night taxis? Distance is around 1.3km and I estimate around 2,400Y

Here's my route to the hotel by walking :

Since I missed out on the Osaka Amazing Pass, I'll wait for the next klook sales on 10.10 or 11.11

Osaka and Kyoto are two quite different cities...so it depends on what your itinerary is really? What do you want to do?

For my itinerary is 5 nights in Osaka, 7 for Kyoto. Osaka for USJ, food and shopping. Kyoto for visiting the old city, gardens, temples, shrines and enjoying the serene and beautiful sceneries.

I think I'm done with my pre purchases for Japan. So far I've already booked my accommodation, flight tickets, USJ tickets & passes and I got my sim cards.

For kimono rentals and sagano train tickets, will decide when I'm in Japan [for flexibility in itinerary] because you need to specify the exact date which I didn't like.

Which are the must see temples/shrines for the scenery and autumn leaves for those who have been to Kyoto? Judging from pictures alone, perhaps Tofukuji, Tenryuji, Daigoji?

If you want to view the autumn colours at its peak in Kyoto, you should go between mid to end November actually..judging from past few years foliage reports..

Is didi quite widely available in Osaka and Kyoto already? From some reading apparently so. It's even displayed in Google maps navigation.

You may want to do some searching on that, maybe even YouTube.

Refer to my earlier post yeah.

How much is your accommodation Btw? Quite central

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.
