My main reason for going on package tours is that someone takes care of my luggage. Even if I need to load or unload it myself.

When you go on a DIY trip to Japan or other countries where you need to take a train or other public transport from one town to another, what do you do with your luggage while sightseeing? I did not see any luggage when I went on the Osaka-Kyoto fast train.

wow, look awesome...
did u go before? how did u go? i found on net seem like got a ticket bus with ropeway together

Hi bro.... how long did it take to go there from Takayama and how long did you spend there? Would this trip require a half day's time?

Only 2 people. I decided to go with 6 (osaka) - 1(nara) - 3(kyoto)

Really?

Actually cause my first night already reaching at 10pm so that's 1 day gone. 1 day for usj, 1 day for kobe. So technically 3 days left for really osaka.

You have any suggestions on the time allocation? I'm really open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Hey guys, just wanted to get a rough gauge..how crowded would Universal Studios be in February on a weekday? Will the waiting time be very long even on a weekday? I know during school holidays, it can get really crowded even on weekdays. My main concern is waiting/queuing time...

Some Japanese mask also quite famous
KitKat used to be rare but now available in msia

I am visiting tokyo and kyoto.

My aim is to fully utilize JR pass on train and bus.

I have planned transportation for Kyoto:
(1) jr train route, and
(2) jr bus route (based on route maps under http://www.arukumachikyoto.jp/bus_search.php?lang=en)

I am currently planning the route for tokyo.
(1) I have found the jr train route;
(2) But, I can't seem to dig out the jr bus route map. Anyone can assist on the jr bus route map?

But why klook website now saying must exchange for ticket at Mahaima station? New method?

never went to osaka before but few years notice alot of express pass for USJ but never bothered to research anything
it's like each ride has their own set of express pass
a friend recently went osaka and i ask them which pass did they bought, they told me they bought express pass 4

for me and many ppl, i think the most important and must go is the harry potter
and express pass 4 includes that
is there any other pass that include harry potter?
i know the line is long, as long as 120 minutes

what if i have no intention to do any of the rides except harry potter
fine to go with just entrance tix?

is the tokyo subway pass really worth it? Or should I just travel using prepaid IC?

anyone can answer?

oh no means. no luck on my arrival on March 8-15? to witness sakura? any other nice flowers blooming?

I like onsen, but don't really like jumping into the pool with other naked men. 

Haha.. Too costly for me I'm afraid. I'm sure it will be nice to have a private onsen by yourself. Nowadays, you get a lot of naked Chinese nationals talking aloud when you are in the onsens. 

saw flights on ANA at the end of this month, about 2.2K for a return trip, is that a normal price?

matta fair can be how cheap

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.

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
