Thanks for that link, very helpful snapshot indeed.
If I decide to go Mt Rokko then will get the mentioned pass for sure

Guys, does anyone know whether I can use the 5 days Tateyama Kurobe Option ticket to get transport from Ogizawa station to Shina-Omachi station? I watch youtube and it seems like there is bus directly to that station.

For the Tateyama station to Bijodaira station ride, from the youtuber video it seems like I need to reserve the timeslot to get into it and this is the only ride that required to book the seat, the rest of the 5 types of rides are basically queuing. Did anyone experience this?

1) Yes, Alpine Kurobe Pass does include Ogizawa to Shina-Omachi Station, Vice Versa by bus ride.

2) Tateyama station to Bijodaira station ride was a tram same like our Bukit Bendera. It got timetable. No need booked seat, first come first serve, once it full, you just need wait for next ride. every 20 minute 1 ride.

Nice info!! Thanks. I will try to get the earliest ride to Alpine route, cause second day after staying in Tateyama hotel i will need to make sure that I can reach Matsumoto before night so I can still visit some places in Matsumoto.

Depends you go on which season, Winter Season (April) & Autumn Season more early you go more people u will get, everyone wanted to go most early, end up most jam packed.

beginning of May, the middle of August, and the beginning of October

I will be going to Alpine Route on 21st May 2019 and stay overnight at Tateyama Hotel.

should be ok since you are staying there. if too crowded the day you arrive, just wake up slightly early the next day before the first batch of ppl arrives

If you overnight at Tateyama, I assume you will start from Matsumoto to Shina Omachi to Ogizawa. The Reverse way, this way always less people.

When I go during peak season. I do used reverse way

I'm actually starting from Toyama instead? >.<

Cause I haven't been to Nagoya area and Takayama area as well.

if you manage to get ANA return flight from KL to Japan for less than rm1k...do let us know

i am very interested to know

i wanna know too

miss flying ANA a lot

When you'll be going to kamikochi?
If im not mistaken, recently it is was reported close due to snow.

I will be going on 22nd May

No way you can catch a train to Tokyo city.
Refer to Page 1, Limousine Bus

for weather forecast....mr google can help you

I see, I think should be ok.
Anyway rmbr to reach there as early as possible.
The place magical and huge and also to avoid crowd.
Apparently it could get a bit congested at certain route.

Sharing my experience on 28th march. Flight drop on haneda on 915pm. Took around 15 minutes to leave the airplane. Spend around 30 mins on custom and luggage.

So basically is already 10pm when clearing custom. Took another 30 mins to get the voucher from global wifi/plug and play my sim card/ getting pasmo/getting direction to correct train to go my hotel.

Took me another hour to get to my hotel at tawaramachi. Basically when i reached my hotel is already close to 12.

9:15pm and 10:15 pm alot big diffrence.
10:15pm will have ANA flight from Singapore, Emirates from Dubai , Hawaiian Air from Honolulu. Emirates A380 will bring 500+ passenger into Haneda at that time, custom section will bottleneck

Ya, i think he can forget about the global wifi. The best is 11pm clear custom, still able to get train if he know where and how. But usually first timer will have a lot of issue. Like me wanna get a pasmo from the machine also need to search up and down
