Hi, I am going to Japan end this month for 11 days. Staying @ Hotel Parklane Yokohama Tsurumi, cost is about 6500 yen per night for 2 person in a room. Will be going to Hakone for a night stay too.

Could anyone help me to figure out whats the cheapest way to goto Yokohama Tsurumi station from Narita Air Port? Thanks !
Still confused with the JR Pass and other passes... dont know which 1 to choose from.. argh

Hello people, I've read some of the post in this thread but I couldn't find the information I need and here goes:

how to find a job in Japan

So far from other forums, most of the information are not really relevant for Malaysian. Any tips is appreciated. BTW I'm planning to take JLPT 1 next year and I'm an IT graduate - if this information is helpful.

Only get the JR Rail Pass if you're going to travel longer distance and cover a few places eg Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto during your trip.
From Narita Airport to Tsurumi, I think probably the easiest way is to take the Narita Express until Tokyo sta, then from Tokyo sta. change to the Keihin-Tohoku line (blue color) and continue to Tsurumi.

For the Narita Express, it might seem a bit expensive, but if you buy the SUICA+NEX, then it'll be worth it.
Then have fun while you're there and enjoy the festivity mood.

Added on December 9, 2009, 4:29 pmDid you try searching over at the "Jobs&Career" section? There should be a few threads about finding a job / working in Japan.
The reason you don't find any posts in this thread that discusses about finding job in Japan is because this thread is about traveling and general living information in Japan.

Hi PsyCHzzz, you seem like very knowledgeable of Japan.

Could you tell me which is the best onsen in or around Tokyo?

By the way, are you in Tokyo now?

Next time when we go over can look for you!

Thanks!

Another option would be to take the JR Sobu Rapid Train (Blue) from NRT. Roughly 20-30 minutes longer but cheaper around 1600yen I believe. One good thing about taking the non-NEX option is that you get more local color - it stops at several stations on the way to Chiba and then on to Tokyo. However, it leaves only once every hour (I believe on the hour). NEX however has 2 trains every hour, roughly at 15 mins and 45 mins past the hour.

Keisei Skyliner is also another option, although fare is cheaper than NEX and nearly just as fast, it may not be cheaper compared to the JR SUICA-NEX deal. Keisei and JR East are the 2 train companies serving NRT.

If you are staying the one of the hotels served by the "limousine bus" then that would be another option because it goes direct to the hotel and you don't have to schlep bags at connecting stations.

This thread could also be about anything to do with Japan, no? Kinda boring if all we do is dish out travel tips. From what I've read, I know you work in Tokyo - how did you end up in your job and do you like working in Japan? (no need to go into specific identifying details)

anyone can help me translate my name into Furigana?

I only know of 2 onsen in Tokyo -
1. Tokyo Dome City - LaQua http://www.tokyo-dome.co.jp/e/laqua/spa.htm
2. Odaiba - Oedo Onsen http://www.ooedoonsen.jp/higaeri/english/

Both IMHO is a bit overpriced but that's what you'll expect in Tokyo.
I would recommend traveling to places like Hakone or Fuji 5 Lakes if you want to experience slightly more traditional onsen.

Yes, I'm in Tokyo currently and you're most welcome to find me if you're visiting Tokyo.

Well, technically it can be... but just that since there's an actual Jobs&Career section, then it might be better to post the questions there (I've previously answered a couple of threads about working in Japan in that section).

As for me, I personally enjoy working in Japan but that's mostly because of my work environment which gives me a lot of freedom and also a great bunch of colleagues. There are definitely some downside here and there, but such is life - nothing is perfect. Got the job via personal contacts and the company sponsored my employment.

Hmmm... I tried using the usual Google translate (link) but I think your surname is not recognized. My command of Japanese and Chinese is uttter crap so that's the best I can do... haha...
