QUOTE(RegentCid @ May 3 2012, 08:12 PM) How come you landed in Narita? You going Japan by JAL ? Yes, i will go by JAL. Added on May 4, 2012, 4:34 pm QUOTE(stimix @ May 3 2012, 08:06 PM) The SUICA just like PASMO are their TNG card. Both can be used almost all rail & metro system in Japan. Since SUICA will cost you a bomb to travel from Tokyo to Narita, this N'EX os some sort of "Free Pass" attached to the complimentary SUICA card that you going to buy. Seems like this is the only choice.This I read from here: http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/suica-nex/#category01 The Free Pass concept also available for travel from Asakusa Tobu line to Nikko and also from Shinjuku to Hakone via Odakyu line. So utilize you N'EX till Tokyo Stn and after out from Tokyo stn, take the Marunochi line (Red M line) to Shinjuku by using your SUICA.. Diff lines diff tickets Your suica is a prepaid card. To take N'EX from Narita to Tokyo station and then take train to Shinjuku. Basically the N'EX do go from Narita to Shinjuku but seems like the package with Suica don't allow me to go straight there.

Why don't you just take Nex rival...faster than Nex half hour more train? It call Keisei Skyliner? All the way to Ueno. Faster half hour but more expensive than Nex ...2,400Yen compare to Nex 1,660Yen This post has been edited by RegentCid: May 4 2012, 09:18 PM |

FD no powerful enough becasue you cannot take out the cash also....
Most important are Saving account. You cna take out the cash anytime....this is their more concert about it. If you Saving got 4 or 5k ....then plus a FD account then ok....if Saving only 2k - 3k....FD 100k also no use.....high percent will get reject This post has been edited by RegentCid: May 5 2012, 12:29 PM |

For me I choose Nikko over Kamakura. Reason been, It's located on high altitude & thus having similar to Hokkaido weather which you been wanting to go. 2nd, the view...Wow, as good as NZ liao haha..
BTW, Nikko is Nippon as what Mat Spuknik said |
