How many days in advance is advisable to book these buses? For shirakawa-go and kamikochi daytrips in October. Thank you

yoo... u need to call your bank to authorise oversea transaction.
then u need to set the limits.

during my last trip, only one place accept fully cash only(both the ticketing area and makan area), the rest all card/cash is fine

best is to have all options in hand, I had cash, coins, multi currency card (macam wise) and also CC

I did but bank said it's not their side problem. Anyway I used a Taiwan credit card all is good hehe. Got my tix.

Just to check, now there is no restriction for us (malaysian) to enter Japan right? We can enter anytime right

No visa, vaccine certificate, etc...

Normally 30 days advance from your departure date.

No need Visa but still need Vaccine Certificate for Fast Track

What credit card are you using if you don’t mind me asking?

Nohi bus website only open 30 days in advance…. If peak season, book as soon as possible I guess

is it the JR east eki-net website? I had trouble registering because the website cannot verify my credit card

dumb question... has anyone tried reserving a seat online on JR East website using a JR Nationwide pass? the JR nationwide pass is not listed on the JR East seat reservation:

Yes. I hate to tell u this, but I told u so.
Some more u so skeptical say is bank issue

hahahaha
I checked liao, it didn't reach the bank at all, the webpage somehow just hang there, unable to proceed with authorization
anyway, i managed to register

are you buying the full Fuji Excursion ticket to Kawaguchiko or just part of it (xxx-Otsuki using JR pass and just buy Otsuki-Kawaguchiko)?

Can register, but ur credit card dont know whether can go thru or not. Good luck! Cause i registered as well but credit card tak boleh make payment

I buy the ticket to kawaguchiko. Not part. I didnt buy jr pass because for me not worth it

I dunno why you guys so obsessed on seat resevation. Most people here are not going to Japan during Golden Week. Even you going on Golden Week, due to JR dirty trick, you also won't get a seat.

I been To Japan so many times, entire Forumer here combine also can't more than me. I never ever once in my whole life sit on full passenger train (Limited Express
& Shinkansen) except Golden Week. Even Airport Express (NEX, Keisei Skyliner, Haruka , Nankai) more than 300 times, not even once full.

Even the most popular Kintetsu Shimakaze & Hinotori also never ever full.

You guys here really kanasai......
