btw tat ts travel log is kinda special, he went japan n rent a car there

which perfect time ?

tuna fish auction i no plan to go dy cos ppl start que at 3am-430am , too early, taxi gonna be very expensive
then i saw the wholesale market is open around 9 for public
n then i read about alot ppl go que at the sushi there starting from 6am, sometimes need to wait 3 hours baru can eat

pls kasi some tips on this

kinda urgent question
my fren booked hotel from agoda.com for 3 nights at kyoto
2 rooms, so total is about rm2.2k
he key in the credit card details, and he got charged full payment within 10 mins
is this normal?

i tot normally hotel booking will only asked for deposite for booking and until u are there to stay then only u need to make full payment

oh tq tq.. hmm.. since paid upfront dy so no need exchange tat much JPY currency to bring there and pay them while in japan
so is a good or no good thing?

Station Ryokan Seiki Hotel Kyoto Japan
only 2 star
choose that cos it's near to kyoto JR station

for the fish market u need to go there early if u wanna eat the sushi dai as breakfast.. got ppl queue up there for 3 hours just to eat the sushi

okie.. i haven't book tokyo hotel, maybe i should try booking.com instead of agoda or hotels.com ?





meanwhile i wanna ask sifu here, still blur blur studying the train route for tokyo
according to this link, http://www.tokyotopia.com/support-files/jr-train-map.pdf
does this map means all the stations there is under JR trains and with JR pass i can take those trains without paying extra?

nov peak season wo.. many ppl go to see maple leaf at kyoto.. sked no book then need to sleep at the street liao


i read the review of that hotel, so far is kinda good, the location is very very famous for ? distance to kyoto station?

thanks for the 2nd question answer..
at first i tot i can only use jr pass for Yamanote Line.. then the rest need to use metro subway line.. now at least i know i can use jr pass on more places dy

i read about this link this noon, knowing that by using jr pass, i cannot go to few places below like
asakusa
roppongi
odaiba
tsukiji fish market
sky tree
national diet ( i haven't do homework on what is this yet)

kyoto hotel more expensive than osaka abit
hmm.. u got ur point oso.. let me plan plan.. but will still prefer spend a night at osaka for more relax trip

btw wan ask ur opinion, if u got to choose, u choose to stay shinjuku or ikebukuro?

thanks for the tips

at first i was planning to get Hotel Nihonbashi Villa , but my fren told me that the area is kinda quiet after 9-10 pm as the place is a commercial shop lot area, and lesser choice for food / 24 hour mart so he intro me shinjuku

currently booked a hotel near kabukicho shinjuku cos fren intro said very happening place.. but the price is kinda high for me so i try to see got any other happening place wif cheaper hotel price

i has a headache on hotel booking now
i check some website like hotels.com booking.com agoda.com for the date i am going to travel, some already fully booked
but when i checked rakuten.com and some official hotel website, they are not yet open for hotel room booking for november yet, only until september
should i wait 2 more months for rakuten or just straight proceed to hotes/booking/agoda ?
