Nope, no Tokyo this round.
Will flying in to KIX.

Yes, I go into lounges for departures. Gonna waste time in airport, then just go to lounge to rest.

This round I will go to the Premium Outlet near to KIX before flying back to KL, I have whole day... My travelling partner will fly back in the morning while my flight is at night.

Yes, Rinku Premium Outlet. Correct, there are buses to ferry people to and fro.

I hope no... I'm not a big fan of brick & mortar shopping but need to kill time plus it is the last day of my trip, I hope I still have money to shop on that day.

Yeah, I will plan what needs to do on that day, gotta find what is near to airport besides Rinku. I will send off my friend to KIX in the morning, so I will store my luggage in airport before heading out on my own.

Yeah but almost everything needs booking.
Thanks for sharing, at least I know I can plan somewhere near KIX.

You don't need to, just show the coupon. I also saved it already for my upcoming trip in Nov. It is the same discount regardless how many tickets you are getting.

Only Kanji is.

500 yen tram pass is good but I won't use it on the first day, it is lesser than 500 yen for my case.
I will stay in one of the hotels which is within the free shuttle to ropeway station, so that gonna save a bit.

When I booked my accommodation, I didn't have much choice and coincidentally the one I booked is one of the hotels. So might as well just stay there.

Glover Garden is within walking distance from my hotel, you can check out and let me know because it is in my itinerary. I will only go after you.

Traveloka is a legit site, booked my flight ticket from them before.

Is it a good idea to spend a day at Shiga? Assuming I have an extra day to spare in Kyoto. I have been to Kobe and I find it like a mini Osaka. I am thinking to skip Kobe and replace it with Shiga. I haven't figured out how to go to those attractions yet without a car, I hope it's doable.

Yeah JR Pass but mine will expire by then.
So IC card is fine to buy ticket on the spot.

I think Shiga is not too bad for day trip from Kyoto?

I always check in my tripod but I put in my luggage because it's a compact CF tripod.

Alright! I will add into my itinerary.

KKDay doesn't allow promo code for USJ tickets because it's controlled price unlike Klook which allows.

Do you all have any recommended sites or suggestions on which pass should I get for Kyoto? Should I just stick to to IC card? I'm going crazy soon after reading so many different types of passes.

We plan to cover all the main Kyoto attractions and maybe one day to Arashiyama. I believe can book online for Sagano Romantic Train but the best view is car no. 5 that cannot be booked online? Any tips on this?

I will spend 2.5 days in Kyoto (includes Arashiyama) and one day in Shiga. For Osaka, I have bought one-day Osaka Amazing Pass. I'm thinking of Kyoto pass (not the Sightseeing pass) that covers Kyoto buses and subways which I can get from Kyoto Station. Good choice?

Also, any pass that I can use for Shiga?

I have not done so much of homework for a trip before and this two-week of Japan trip is slowly draining my energy..

I'm not collecting any pass too. Osaka Amazing Pass will be posted to my friend's house in China, we got it from Taobao. Only JR pass needs to collect but we are flexible, can collect on second day, first day almost impossible to do it in KIX. Let's say I'm getting Kyoto pass, need to purchase on the spot from Kyoto Station. I don't like collecting passes too.

If only Japan allows mobile version.

I will probably stick to Icoca too for Kyoto.

Klook's collection place is at somewhere near Namba and yes I find it inconvenient too. That's why didn't get from them.

Yeah, I reckoned that's what I'm going to do. Just IC card, no need to stress anymore.
I just dislike reloading it with cash only..

Yeah, or sites like Klook or KKDay, can Google for it.
I got mine from Taobao, much cheaper.


Anyway, does anyone know where can I buy daily unlimited 500 yen Nagasaki tram tickets? Real experience sharing is appreciated.

Oops. Yeah, you are right. My mind hasn't refreshed yet early in the morning.
I refer to JR site for various passes information.

No, my trip from airport to hotel already 1.6k yen.
And cannot buy from them, costs more and will close by 10pm. No thanks, I will buy from the machine.
