Dear Sifus

My Itinerary of 14 days in Tokyo / Osaka / Kyoto

Day 1
- Night flight from KLIA to Osaka
Day 2 to Day 8
- Hikari Shinkansen to Tokyo
- travel around Tokyo
Day 9
- Hikari Shinkansen to Osaka
Day 9 to 14
- travel around Osaka
- (Plus 1 day trip to Kyoto)
Day 14
- Back to KLIA

Should I get the 14-Day JR Pass, or is it cheaper to buy normal train ticket and the SUICA card? If I don't take the Shinkansen, what other cheaper transport to go to Tokyo and back from Osaka?

Thanks

i reaching 2nd april... need to open bank account which bank give a lot of interest rate?? now malaysia fixe deposit turun d.. 2.5% only per year.. deposit in japan get more FD interest

Dear Guardian n bonzaimy,

for onsen allowing swimwear - refer here

Yunessun - Hakone
go under Mori No Yu

for me , i prefer the open air onsen, traditional one. hehehehe, but not those with a lot of tourist cos it kills the ambience with their laughing and chattering. i just want to relax.

Oh. I dont get it. I thought Onsen is a japanese bath where you will soak in the hot tub with other people. How to find a quite onsen? Im afraid at that time, lots of tourist. By da way,thanks for replying my question

Hi all...today went to Kichijoji then otw saw this guy riding a bike..

Arigato...hehehe..ok cool!
so make sure you go to your bank then change your billing address (change to Japan temporarily, i think its free) and
tell them to activate for overseas usage. and up to you to limit your debit.
just my experience with banking line before! so good luck ok!

halamek...so clemong mind to watch around for our LYN members who is looking for the spot?
I might be late...sumimasen

clemong, are you sure u want to wear jersey only bro.....dah acclimatized eh?

Tanoshi: Please refer to keii-kun's post above for the link. Also, I think you have it on the first post already (it says "Google Map link").

Anyway, yes - I'll be bringing the mat on Sunday and will be there earlier to book the spot. I've also printed 2 copies of the LYN logo dudes (A4 size) and I'll place one on the mat and another I hope either clemong or whoever will be coming earlier can help me wait at the fountain area with it so that people can recognize you.

e-jump & matt - Have a safe flight!

clemong - I plan to be there around 7am so that can look for a better spot and I also hope that it won't be too packed.

e-jump - hope you managed to unlock your bag now... if not, just pinjam tukul and kasi hantam saja... LOL ... /joking.

tanoshi - hahaha... should bring the bike along!!! (is that yours?)
