Really lah//touching 295km/hr...but I only captured when touching 293km/hr. Used to be 330km/hr but speed reduced after the accident:



Kenot take sinkansen lor..to pricey..comparing the 100km++ 30min almost 300km/hr at the cost of RM27/pax from Tianjin to Beijing how to compare leh..

CRH 3 and 5 almost similar ....see wronly...CRH 3 got head light ...CRH 5 no.

LOL

But they are Spanish // German train.

This is the train I took..from wiki should be CRH3 kua from Siemen haha..OK-lah..1st time tried almost 300km/hr liao..unless any sinkansen in Japan can go >400km/hr?..My nxt target taking the Shanghai maglev train haha

Hi everyone. I'm going to japan tis weekend and I would like to know more about the transportation. I will be staying at shinjuku and would like to explore shibuya, harajuku and ginza [those tokyo cities]. Would it be best if I buy the Toei 1 day economy pass? Will the bus/subway cover all this area? Thank you.

One Yamanote Line cover most of the places in Tokyo.

just came back from kansai trip.. japan is awesome..
weather in osaka still quite cold..
its snowing in kyoto last friday, and thick snow at mount hiei in shiga temperature around -3degree.. very excited cause my first experience with snow..
we had wonderful time travelling around ourselves..

Please upload some drillz please

First time traveller to Tokyo and I'm super confused with the geography there. If it's not too much to ask, can someone tell me which of these 2 budget accommodation is more suitable if you wanna visit the main Tokyo tourist areas i.e. Akiba, Shibuya, Shinjuku, etc :

a) KHAOSAN TOKYO KABUKI
b) Tokyo Hotel Horidome Villa

Another thing, is the visa application very strict? Since I'm taking Airasia, will be arriving in Haneda 11pm, planning to overnight there. But they need us to fill up the itinerary form for visa, not sure what to put for first night accommodation. Do they check if I simply put a hotel name (but not going to stay)? @.@

Hi deqna , I oso jz back from kansai trip , did u saw snowing at Osaka or Kobe ?My first lifetime snowing watched which happen at Kobe daytime around 1.30pm when I walking from hotel to sannomiya .. Hehe . Btw anyone going to kansai b4 April ? Cos I got some brand new Osaka 1 day unlimited pass for sale .

Hi forumers... I'm planning a trip for 2 to Japan, either to Tokyo/Osaka; probably around 5D4N... What would be the minimum budget required for expenditure there? Exclude flight tickets though... Thanks!
