Can the SUICA/PASMO card be used in Kyoto subways/buses? Or for use in Tokyo area only? If cannot means i need to get the refuns of 500Yen before i leave Tokyo?

What's the percentage/population of japanese ppl able to speak english? Sorry to ask kinda question. Too me, kinda low though. When I was in Osaka station, I have a hard time asking ppl which platform should I go to, am i in the correct platform etc etc.

Just came back from a 1 week holiday in Japan. Went to Kyoto, Takayama,- Shriwakawa then back to Osaka

Nop...It only used in Tokyo only. In Kansai you need ICACO.


Those working in oversea / study in oversea will speak english. other than that .... nop

Okayy. But is is better in Tokyo, capital or is it just the same. The only one can speak are those working in information/tourist counter. haha
Are u working/staying in Japan?

I'm a Kamen Rider fan, any tips on where to go for related items like T-shirts, toys, souvenirs etc? TQ!

U can collect thoso kamen rider can drinks from the vendor machine. I collected Dragon ball. LOL

Went to Tokyo in 2009 for 1 month on my own, spent RM7000 including some shopping, air ticket, accommodation, transport, and 2 meals a day.

I would suggest staying in Guest House, rather than Hotel, it cost me RM1000+ for 30 days stay.

Wow. Mind asking what course did u study there and which uni?. Good good!. The next time I shall ask more info from you if I go to Japan again (:

Haha, Tohoku far dy. Somemore, rather than snow monday, better with japanese amoi Now trying to search for konyuko at Hakone, can combine Lake Ashi and Mt Fuji view in same trip. Else go Takaragawa at Gunma. Wah pening.

For those went to DisneySea before, do you think necessary to spend whole day there? Plan to go somewhere else in the morning, and then spend afternoon till the night show.

Hi,

Just want opinions of veterans here. I am going to Japan in September and have booked Sunroute Kawasaki (refundable) as my base there. Anyone stayed in Kawasaki before? Based on my research (online) its quite a pleasant neighbourhood to stay with shopping eateries nearby and close to Shinagawa station (15mins) and Tokyo station(ard 20min) via JR. Below is my broad itineary for the trip:-


Day

1 (Thursday) - Fly in Haneda airport at 10.30p.m. Rush and take Keihin(15mins commuter) to Kawasaki Station and walk to hotel. If fail, take a cab. 9maybe 6-8K yen)
2 (Friday) - Explore Kawasaki and hotel surroundings then Shinjuku & Shibuya.
3 (Sat) - Imperial Palace / Yasukuni Shrine / Ginza area
4 (Sun) - Shibuya / Harajuku (morning for Cosplay watching) / Yokohama (p.m) -Plan to visit Kirin Beer Factory in Yokohama and explore Yokohama a bit
5 (Monday) - Shinkansen to Kyoto from Shinagawa (Plan to buy the 21000 Yen 7 day open ticket from Japanican), Booked Royal Plaza Hotel, The Kyoto (5 nights)
6-10 (Tue- Sat) - Explore Kyoto (maybe even a side trip to Iga-Ueno for Authentic Ninja Museum and show)
10 (Sat) - Shinkanse back to Shinagawa, check back into Sunroute Kawasaki ...explore Kawasaki for shopping etc
11 (Sunday) - Ueno & Asakusa
12 (Monday) - Akihabara
13 (Tues) - No plan yet
14 (Wed) - No plan yet
15 (Thursday) - Fly back via Haneda via 11.30p.m flight

Actually, I have been planning my trip since last Nov when booked AAX flight for me and gf. I have revamped my plan and booking a few times (since all online hotel booking got back 105% of moies paid) and this is the latest plan. Please feel free to comment on the itineary. Thank you.

I also have 2 questions, should I try to squeeze in Osaka and Hakone into this trip? So far Osaka don't interest me much, except for their castle ( I stand to be corrected). I feel what can be found in Osaka should be able to also find in either Kyoto or Tokyo right?

No disneyland/disneysea?

Hi guys/gals, here is the brief planing for my trip to Japan.

Feel free to made some amendment to the plan. There are total 9 people going for the trip. 2 males & 7 females.

Edit: Add the arrival and departure time.

Hi bro, AAX flight reach to Haneda airport around 11.50 pm something....as I know we gonna miss the last train to city, cab is too expensive so how u guys plan upon arrival? sleep in airport until next morning take the 1st train to city and check in to hotel, most of the hotel check in will be 2 or 3 pm.....

how you read the link lar ... 100 yen = RM3.97 so 1000yen = RM39.70. The other figure there is yen/ringgit i.e. RM1 = 25.2yen

100 Japanese Yen JPY 3.9692 [25.1576]

Haha.. sumting wrong wth ur eye liao... IF RM25.. Japan darurat liao by now
