yeah, tokyo to osaka,
but if taking car, sure will stop in betweens to lepak n visit, not straight down

but ur explanation makes me lean towards JR Rail, yes they apply on shinkansen, but sadly not for monorails

Kyoto to Tokyo with Shinkashen just 2 Hour ...Driving need take 8hour? LOL .....Relax and more saving time

Do you good ppl know any agents that do ground tours in Hokkaido?

domo minnasan...

well, you should read the first post first. there got a lot of information..

first about saving the buy the air ticket,
of course we recommend you buy those special promotion which is only around RM1500..
and those ticket is limited on certain period, you have check yourself,
although sometimes do have member come up here to report, but is better you do it by urself..

and about expense, i think first post do have info on that..

all the best..

Added on May 13, 2009, 7:55 pmand about which train or car, is depends what is travelling plan, where u plan to go..
if not mistaken, car need international lincense to rent..

read already...
but i think its not complete...or only i think so?? =.=

You can read chinese ?
If you can, definitely recommend you to www.backpackers.com.tw
Got tons of info there.
Or maybe Lonely Planet.
I'm going to Hokkaido and Tokyo this July, backpacking =)

backpacking also??
wao..well then make sure tell what happened and how ok?
i cant read chinese although my gf is chinese

u mean complete is from what point of view? We can try our best to help to answer your questions.
but bear in mind that those question try to be not too general, cause we will also hard to answer..
ok?

is good to travel here but not for working here... right? tanoshi.. hahaha

haha...im not gonna work there (but if got chance why not)
ok for general ok..for backpacking, how many RM is minimum?

it depends on how many days...
for the expense of hotel, i think first page got, u do the calculation urself.. ok?
and food. tanoshi oledi written the average price for the food..
roughly for me is 1000yen per meal.. so u sendiri count depends on how is ur plan.... no spoon feed.. sorry to said that..

hahaha..wakarimashita..
maybe around a week only...
well if i brought RM7000 enough?

oh ya, dun forget that about apply visa, heard that is kinda hard to apply to travel.. myself is done by company.. so it was easy..
for traveling. u need to prove that you are not going to curi working here.. by at least quite a big amount in ur bank... from wat i know..

uh huh,,now thats one thing...
i never apply visa,,
dont know the step also...

from the first post...

My dear Musha,
You already inform twice to those who want to know the info, READ on the 1st PAGE please...
no need to repeat my dear...hehehe buat penat taip je hahahaha...

mmm..not enuf info? goole it then, lots of search engine in this cyber world lol...
later then YOU can ask specific question...

Tak ble lah expect we all knows everything right dude...nanti salah ckp how? common sense..be specific question...
most of our members always repeating the same answer...


Example bout train or car...its matter of MONEY, TIME & SATISFACTION the way of travel...
kalau banyak duit then driving lol best boleh tengok pemandangan, different prefecture different style/culture..tapi penat sikit
Kalau naik shinkansen..CEPAT tapi mahal..yeah time is golden...so I think for sure you can compare by yourself...

no offense ya..just sakit mata nak baca benda sama...whatever is SELAMAT DATANG ke JEPUN!!! kalau datang summer best boleh join gathering!!!
