look like you have a very tight schedule on your japan holiday, which you need to RUN not walk.
you are going with travel agent or backpack ?

i hope you have taken the transport fee and time travel into consideration when doing this itenery.
u arriving at kansai airport, and you straight to Kyoto, then you are coming back to osaka on 3rd day then travel to tokyo, then back to osaka, then Nara then Kobe then osaka again. all these places you are going and you staying in Kyoto only ?


actually im going to osaka on May for 6 days.
i will be staying in osaka for first 2 days and then go to kyoto for 1 night, then back to osaka hotel till 6th day.
my travel expenses should around at 4000yen

there are travel pass you can use.
Kansai thru pass
osaka unlimted pass

Chiwei...chiwei...

ClessRV going to tokyo also....he need taking shinkanshen. So all he need just one JR rail pass. It cover everything already. Why still border that 2 small small pass.

ahh ..
thanks for the info ..

i commented small small pass, that because i don use JR

Yes, my bad, haha, what I meant was arrive at my friend's house in Osaka.


My mistake, actually my base will be in Osaka, and my friend will be taking me for the tour in Japan (so consider an unofficial travel agent ), our mode of transport includes his car, trains and feet, hehe..

I'll reconfirm with my friend again regarding the itinerary, and my budget is around RM5000-RM7000 for the whole 10 days.


Thanks, so I'll just need to buy the 1 week JR pass then right? because we are going to use my friend's car for the 3 remaining days.




Thank you very much for all the replies, feel free to add some more advice if there's any.

I went to Disneyland Tokyo around 2006,during weekday most of ticket will 1/2 price.Starting at 2.00pm or 3.00pm,if i not mistaken. You can call them direct for more details.

What's the best accommodation that one can find in Tokyo that is reasonably priced (budget) and convenient to get to anywhere in the city (tourist places for first time visitor) ?

Any list of suggestions/ recommendations/ personal favourites?

Anyone has any idea what kinda dressing that the Japanese wear in month of Dec at Tokyo?
I afraid i will be overdress or underdress and will be JApanese laughing stock when i am there. LOL!

Added on February 13, 2012, 12:12 pmConvenience will be Keio Plaza Shinjuku but not budget.
Or you can choose any cheap hotel within 5 mins walking distance to MRT.

Haha, Only girls/ladies worried about fashion.. Similar questions also posted in Seoul/Korea thread.

Just wear as you like-lah.. In Seoul you will be surprise how simple are the Korean dressed during the winter. Much simple than Chinese mainland or Taiwanese.. Jean, sport shoe/leather shoes + down jacket. For those richer folks probably high heel winter boots & etc...But hi-heel winter boot so common in Taiwan & Pearl river deltas but not so in Seoul..they are so down to earth style..So I think Japan should be even simple and almost similar to Seou from those winter photos posted here...

Cannot just simply wear as i like le.
We are talking about Japan now who is at the top in fashion.
I dont want to be like those mainland people going to Japan and become the 'different' among Japanese.
It would great help if anyone that been to Tokyo during winter to post some of the photos here.
Thanks!

From earlier post by regentcid, you can see liao..just spot the far blur images of those ladies in thick down jacket, common thick jeans & sport shoe (I can see one wth white)...just like common Seoul view during winter.. no need fashion fashion haha. It just reminded me of my last trip to Seoul, when local M'sian very stylish hi-heel winter boot anf full winter fashion but when I stepped down in Seoul..most of the folks there wearing so simple haha..Those tourist/M'sian are the one really odd ...However, if you go those Chinese cities esp Giangzhou, Zhuhai or even Taipei..OK-lah..They are the one really fashioneble..hi-heel boot everwhere in chinese cities, HK & eben in Taipei although the temperature there so mild..In Seoul..simple..winter cheapo boot man..haha

Gloves is it necessary?
It doesnt seems that cold or snowing right?

hi guys, quick question. once the train stations have closed in OSAKA, the only way is it taxi?...say from Umeda to Shinsaibashi (accomodation). Or is there public bus that runs 24/7?

If below 5C btter wear but if you can stand, no need lor..Even my wife ~ 8C in Beijing Nov also kenot stand liao. BTW, not snowing does not mean it will not be cold.. Dry & cold wth strong wind, even a reported 8C can dropped to ~ zero if strong wind that time. There was one Morning in Seoul, during Dec 2010, temperature dropped to ~minus 12C & wth wind ~ minus 15C..but no snow at all..so dry & cold
