I can say Tokyo metro lines are far more complicated than the ones I had in Europe.
But if you see the routes correctly (download one high resolution copy in your phone), it is manageable.

source say leave japan only. u enter macam still need go thru immigration personel when masuk.
u enter, immigration will stick the QR code sticker on ur passport + stamp validity. n then when u leave, u go thru automation, n scan the QR code (or no more QR code, just fingerprint/face recognition)

unless i miss something from the article. (just browse thru quickly)  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
Future will be like our Malaysia Passport fast track computer scanner.
Just slot in Passport and scan fingerprint...then u are Pass.
NO more stamping Cop.

In or Out Japan will be same like our Malaysia computerize system.
Super fast and efficiency

Malaysia one only for Malaysian, while Japan will be open for all people. Japanese + Foreigners. One Step ahead.
Since computerise, entry Japan form will no longer needed. So future no need bring pens and write on aircraft.

Good thing about Narita was no midnight flight.

Cons was quite far away from Cities. But can buy JR NEX + Suica Combo / 1000 Yen Airport Bus to Tokyo Station

Abit luxury will be Skyliner to Ueno

Rm900++ (without luggage, food and seat selection) for CNY was still available for CNY 2020 period which is very cheap too.
You mean Keisei bus from Narita to Tokyo? 1000 yen  for normal hours, 2000 yen for midnight hours. But if early morning flight, have to stay at Narita because quite far away from Tokyo.
*
Nop, not the Keisei.
This Bus company rules Narita Airport. Be-Transse, Part of JR Group. Subsidize by Govt, that why so cheap biggrin.gif

Bro... Keisei Tokyo Shuttle also offering the same rates. I took once from Tokyo station to Narita Airport for 1000yen. Airport Limousine Bus (Orange) is more expensive at 1900 yen.

Keisei bus got timing la.
While This JR Bus are 1000 yen all days...even late night or early morning also 1000 Yen because been subsidize by Govt.
So king of Narita Bus are Be-Transee.

When I exchange my JR Pass then I will book all Shinkansen and reserve seats as well, will they get angry if I'm booking 5-6 trips? sweat.gif

Can I book those Limited Express rides as well when I exchange my pass? For e.g. Hakata to Nagasaki via Kamome Limited Express? Or where can I do this?

I plan to exchange my pass at Nara station and I can book my Kyushu rides there right?

If anybody knows, I will appreciate your kind advice.
*
Nop, you are not allow to do that unless Holiday season.
Kyushu are under JR Kyushu while Nara are JR West. Totally different.

You only can get Kagome ticket once you reach Hakata Station. If reserve seat was full. You can get un reserve seat ticket or next train. smile.gif

Oops. I didn't know this. So can I book my Shinkansen in Hakata station for whole Kyushu?

I can at least exchange my JR Pass in Nara and book Hello Kitty ride to get on from Shin-Osaka to Hakata right? Or I must book in Osaka?
I don't have much time left by the time I touch down at KIX, that's the reason I plan to exchange only on the next day when I'm in Nara..

Thanks for the advice on Kamome.

You can try once you reach Hakata Station. But high chances it wont allow.

Hello Kitty Shinkansen departure time from Shin Osaka to Hakata

High chances you only can reserve ticket once u reach Shin Osaka Station. There is always have next train.

If you have to rate from 1 to 10, 10 being the safest.

How safe is Tokyo for female solo traveler?
*
Safety rating 10 before 12am
Safety rating 7 after 12am to 3am

Subway last train at 11 - 12am period are worst of the worst
I give 3 out of 10

To me 11 to 12am still ok...can say less to no people at all for some small station (without any worker) but still havent bump into any unpleasant incident. I think that during my stay i use 3 or 4 times subway during that period of time
*
You only used 3 - 4 times that period.
I been using subway that period of times more than 10 years. All kind of darkside already used to it. biggrin.gif

You guys only watch China people pee everywhere but actually Japanese people pee and shit on train more than Chinese but didn't spread over internet.
Those drunk Japanese cari gaduh on other passenger. Hate to take last train

OK, because RegentCid mentioned they may not allow me to do it, not sure if I misunderstood his statement. sweat.gif

Once u reach Hakata, You able to book those Kyushu Train from Hakata to Nagasaki, Beppu etc etc....
But from Osaka to Hakata period....you cant book those Kyushu train at Osaka Station because Osaka are belong to JR West while Train from Hakata to Nagasaki, Beppu, Yufuin are JR Kyushu.

Great! At least I can do it in on the first day I reach Kyushu.
Can I book Hello Kitty ride from Nara? Same region? Or must I do it in Shin-Osaka?

For Yufuin no Mori, I can do it in Hakata right? Despite I will board from Tosu.
*
I dont think Nara station can do that because Nara Station has no Shinkansen line so they might not have the Shinkansen ticketing computer inside station.
Shinkansen Ticket are bigger size compare to normal JR train line ticket.

But you can try. biggrin.gif

Then, I don't want to take the risk la. I will drop by Shin-Osaka to exchange ticket and book ride before heading to Nara for whole day. Thanks for the advice so far.

But Yufuin no Mori should be OK to book at Hakata even if I wanna get on at Tosu?

By the way, what do you think of Beppu? It seems the only attraction they have is Hell tour? Visit different hot springs? Otherwise, I will change my destination, may as well from Yufuin straight back to Hakata instead of Beppu. Then I can go to places like for e.g. Kokura, Mojiko? My hotel in Beppu hasn't charged yet. Any advice for me?

Wait I back home tonight and dig Beppu, Kokura and Mojiko attraction for you

Sigh. That's so sad wei. cry.gif

I wonder if after I get my JR pass in Osaka, then can I do online booking myself for Shinkansen and/or Yufuin no Mori? Link: https://kyushurailpass.jrkyushu.co.jp/reser...33;-130399529?0 and guide: https://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/english/booking/manual_e.pdf

Hard, Because Shin-Osaka Station are belong to JR West and ''Yufuin No Mori'' Limited Express Train are belong to JR Kyushu
Unless you reserve the seat of ''Yufuin no mori'' thru online website such as klook, and redeem at JR Hakata Station. You can't redeem at JR Shin-Osaka Station due to JR West. biggrin.gif

Yeah, thanks! biggrin.gif
Kokura more like a train transfer hub to Beppu direction. so not much of attraction.
Main attraction was Kokura Castle. (Small but beautiful castle)

Mojiko more like little Otaru. Still got some old European design building + Glass & music box shop just like Otaru.
Mojiko most famous Omiyage was Minato House (Banana product) [something like Tokyo Banana]

*From JR Mojiko Station to Minato House will passing Mojiko famous bridge call Blue Wing Moji.

Beppu got a nickname, called City of Steam.
Beppu most famous attraction are Hell hot spring
My favorite spot watching Beppu city was Yukemuri Observation 湯けむり展望台 and make sure you got Telephoto Lens !!



*obervation not far away from Beppu famous hell hot spring, if you taking Taxi from hot spirng back to Train Station, can detour to Yukemuri Observation first.
