I managed to book return flights on Airasia to Kansai International Airport (KIX) for RM750 per person (including luggage, seat charge etc etc), so I'll be going with my girlfriend. Hotel booking was made via Agoda.com.
Still debating whether to go to Mt. Koya or not, as it adds over 1k to the cost of the trip, and only for 1 night. If we decide not to go to Mt. Koya, then the average cost of a hotel room per night is only around RM200 - 250, very reasonable.
All prices in RM, for 2 persons:
4N Kyoto Royal Hotel & Spa 997
1N Nara Komachi Guesthouse 265
1N Osaka Chisun Hotel Shinsaibashi 175
1N Mt. Koya temple (estimate) 800
1N Osaka Chisun Hotel Shinsaibashi 175
Accomodation total: 2412 for 7 nights
KUL - KIX Airasia 1468
Train from KIX to Kyoto 1 way 160
Train from Kyoto to Nara 1 way 56
Train from Nara to Osaka 1 way 64
Koyasan World Heritage ticket 226
Train from Osaka to KIX 1 way 72
Long distance transportation total: 2046

QUOTE(Klesk @ Feb 1 2012, 05:25 PM) going jap for 7 days in may. do you guys think 7 days is too much for Tokyo alone? i'm still thinking to buy the JR railway pass or not. How much is the shinkansen ticket from tokyo to hakone. thanks. Strongly recommend that you consider day trips to Nikko and Kamakura. Just a couple hours away from Tokyo and lots to see there. |

Nikko also has Toshogu Shrine, where Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu was buried. Quite amazing.

I think Fuji Q Highlands might be a better place to visit than Tokyo Disney, IF you like rollercoasters.
Tokyo Disney quite boring for adults, and its even worse if you dont understand Japanese.

It's damn cold in Kyoto now. Low of -2, high of 7 celcius. Luckily we managed to buy the pocket warmers from a 100 Yen shop. Very useful.

Don't bother with tour operators la. Very expensive in Japan, better to do your own research and get around by yourself.
