QUOTE(nikonfan @ Nov 1 2011, 11:27 AM) hi, i believe u better be prepared for full gear, weather for this year is quite extreme too. so how many nights in total u will stay in Japan? from osaka to tokyo, by train or bus? fare? heard that if by bullet train, it will cost an arm or leg for the ticket. (RM500 one way??) mind to share your which hotel r u staying in osaka and kyoto? as i will be going on Jan too. tq  QUOTE(matt85 @ Nov 1 2011, 12:22 PM) Yes it's very cold, by Malaysia's standard of course. Skinny people might need full winter gear, those big sized still can live with long johns and thick jacket  If you plan to board the Shinkansen (even once!), do get the JR Pass. More than worth it, so much that they limit the purchase only for foreign traveler, nihonjins drooling   the most extreme weather i ever encountered was winter in Melbourne & late autumn in Germany...I got more natural protection (i am fat  ) ... so i guess will bring winter jacket, gloves, wool hat & long johns then i will be going for 5D5N (excluding travel time)... landing in Kansai AP and returning from Narita AP definitely will get the JR pass since will be used for the Shinkansen (Osaka -> Kyoto -> Tokyo) & Tokyo city traveling (~RM1156 for 7 day normal pass) For Osaka... will buy the Osaka Unlimited Pass since allow unlimited subway rides & free entrance to most tourist sites.. For Kyoto... will buy the Kyoto Sightseeing Two Day Pass Card... alot of damage here becoz of temple entrance fee :S for train/subway schedules.. can go here to plan -> http://www.hyperdia.com/en/ Accommodations: Osaka -> Osaka Station Hotel, Kyoto -> Kyoto Tower Hotel, Tokyo -> Kimi Ryokan... here is my schedule... all seasoned travelers feel free to comment Day 1 OSAKA Morning: Osaka Castle, Museum of History, Shitennoji Temple Afternoon: Tempozan Market Place, Ferris Wheel, Osaka Aquarim Evening: Shinsaibashi, Dotonbori, Den Den Town Day 2 KYOTO Morning: Nijo Castle, Nishiki Market Afternoon: Ginkakuji, Heian Shrine, Kiyomizudera Evening: Gion Day 3 KYOTO Morning: Kinkakuji Afternoon: Sagano Romantic Train, Togetsukyo, Tenryuji Evening: International Manga Museum, Kyoto Tower Day 4&5: TOKYO UENO Park, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, Roppongi This post has been edited by seather: Nov 4 2011, 11:12 AM |
