both?

i has return'd

firedauz - nice shot - Mt.Fuji?

anyway, i've got my accomodation sorted, opted for Shinjuku since i'll be in Roppongi for 5 days
now another question (pardon my ignorance/noob-ness), how to travel around tokyo? any pass that let you roam around JR and other lines?
i dun quite like the idea of having to buy a ticket everytime i wan to travel around

Fuyooo bro, speechless! nex yer kene pegi la ini macam huhuhu

subway/chikatetsu have day passes. not as convenient as jr's circle line but will get u to most destinations

yes should have a 1 day pass. for how much I didnt know bout that...your friend should know bout this and can ask at the tix counter.
cheers

Yup, just came back this evening

As tanoshi and clemong had answered your question, I'll let in you 2 tips:
1. If its a JR pass that you want (as you didn't mention discount pass or anything similar), added to that you prefer to have 1 ticket than to buy again and again, buy the SUICA card at the JR ticket booth. Its like a reload card (not a discount card), which means for example if you buy a 2000 Yen SUICA Card, you can use it at any JR station with the same of payments for the travel, but only with 1 card (until the 2000 yen is finished, and you have to reload again at the ticket booth).

2. Press the English language button at any of the JR station ticket booth; almost 99% of them have it

GOGOGO!

Several things to do while you are at Mt Fuji:
- Snap pictures and videos (bring extra battery and memory storage devices if you want).
- Take a rock sample from Mt Fuji high places. It was an active volcano a long time ago, so just take the rocks as a free souvenir.
- Write a postcard message and send it back to your house address. It's your official proof that you had been to Mt Fuji (there's a post office there).

ok sounds easy from here. i reckon on JR alone you can go aces literally to anywhere in Tokyo?
i know there are heaps on lines in Tokyo and just to be on the safe side, i dun wan to jump off at the wrong station
so sticking to one line sounds like a safe bet

hi, im planning on visiting japan in mayb next year dec...currently looking for advice...
- going to visit area near tokyo/akiba (will be focusing on akiba)
- hoping to go comiket also

i) any recommendation on accomodation? planning to go for 1 month, will be sharing with a few frens...wanted to find a cheap place and preferably near to public transport

Extra pic before answer question
This is my proudest moment at Mt Fuji: the 2nd bright sunrise! (yes, the sun rises twice on that same morning lol)


A very good question, and I have a very good answer for you and everyone else: YAMANOTE LINE
Sauce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanote_Line


^ as you can see the route map of JR Yamanote Line, it goes to almost ALL the popular places in Tokyo!
Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Akihabara, Shimbashi (go down here to take a train to cross over the sea to the Odaiba Island), Ikebukuro, Harajuku, etc!
And, its an unending circle route, which means that if you will not get lost anywhere since it will always be going around in the same circle!
If you wanted to go to Akihabara but you overslept and thus overshot until the next station (lets say Kanda), don't worry!
Get down in Kanda, and take another Yamanote Line that goes the opposite way, back to Akihabara

Sakura House: http://www.sakura-house.com/
Sakura Hostel: http://www.sakura-hostel.co.jp/
Sakura Hotel: http://www.sakura-hotel.co.jp/

Most are nearby the train stations

And about the next upcoming Comiket:

--> The next Comiket in Tokyo Big Sight (at Odaiba Island) will take place in the Winter, December 28,29,30 in 2008!

haha, nice...thx

do you happen to know the train fare for yamanote sen? ranging from how much to how much...

wanna ask something, i m looking for room like small apartment with toilet, small kitchen, all in 1...then futons on floor tat can fit for 4-5persons...

thru the sakura-house link, i see the apartment state the price for 1 person and 2 persons...does tat mean i cannot hav more than 2 persons living in?

yea, aug and dec comiket =)
going on dec to jan can celebrate xmas and new year there...

It depends from where to where you wanna go on Yamanote Line.
Cheapest (from one station to just the following next station) is just 130 Yen.
The most expensive (from one station to the totally opposite side of the line) would be around 250 Yen.

Not sure for an answer regarding specific details for accommodations.
Like I said before, for us who stayed in Japan, usually have our own personal houses/apartments.
Guess you have to wait for that answer to come from those who had been here on a visit

o, train fare not tat expensive...still ok...i wonder how much is to go from 1 prefecture to another...

lols..it starts from 130yen. a four stop ride would be at least 200-300 yen i think.

about accomodation, i think u can book a whole room for hostels and they usually have a shared pantry with basic essentials.
