The living cost i mean is accomodation, food and transport . JUst the basic neeed to live there for student.

According to clemong, its only 100 000 yen to live in tokyo and I find that cheaper than claimed by many sources. Usually they say tokyo is very expensive and will need at least 200 000 to get by.

Is it the accomodation the most expensive? So finidng a cheap accomodation will save a lot since will be living by yourself.

I live in Tokyo. I either cook or just go to the 100 Yen shop tongue.gif
If you know the places, Tokyo is just like KL biggrin.gif

Should I get this, or the JR rail pass if im going to Japan 7 days tour?
2 days Kyoto, 1 day in btwn Kyoto n Tokyo, 3 days in Tokyo?

If you are on a tight deadline, its best that you take the Shinkansen.
Traveling between prefectures is the one that will take most of the time.
This Seishun 18 Kippu usually applies to those who are strong enough to travel long distance, using the slow JR train.

I've checked from Hyperdia, the difference in length of time for Tokyo <--> Kyoto traveling are:
Shinkansen: 2 hours ++
JR Rail: 13 hours ++ laugh.gif

However, I'm not saying its not possible.
If you know yourself that you can persevere, then this is what I advise:
QUOTE
The day you land at Narita Airport (Tokyo), that counts as the starting of the 1st day.
So you spend the first 3 days in Tokyo.

On the night of the 3rd day, is where you use the Seishun 18 Kippu to start travelling to Kyoto.
Remember 2 things:
1. JR stations in Tokyo starts to close around 12:30AM, so start your journey just before that time.
2. Why travel at night? It is because Kyoto or any other places are closed during the night. With 13 hours travel, say you start at 7PM night, you'll reach Kyoto around 8AM the next day -- which means the shops and tourist places in Kyoto are just about to open.

So at 8AM the next day is your 4th day, in which you are already in Kyoto.
So now you spend 2 days here, until your 6th day.

On the night of the 6th day, at 7PM, you start your journey back to Tokyo.
13 hours later, at 8AM, you'll arrived in Tokyo, for your final 7th day.
So you spend your last day shopping around, and prepare to travel 2 hours from Tokyo to Narita Airport to take your flight home.

See?
It's a rough plan, but yeah, it's do-able.

BUT!

Assuming that you might not be fluent in Japanese language, how sure are you that you can find your way through the puzzle train lines from Tokyo - Kyoto - Tokyo?
Of course, I think the train stations would have English spelling names, but still, even I might find it hard (because my sense of directions are also bad lol).

So this is why I would suggest either take the expensive Shinkansen.
Or maybe just the cheap bus.
Buses are cheaper than the Seishun 18 Kippu (around 4000 Yen++ per destination) but it travels as slow as the JR Rails (or maybe slightly faster... just slightly).

Using JR Rail, at those time of night travel, you might have to switch trains, which means more added confusion of trying to figure out where you are at that time LOL laugh.gif
At least with bus, you KNOW you are going to reach your destination directly non-stop (they'll stop occasionally for their customers to buy food or go toilet).
However, I dare not say more on bus because I've never taken a bus to travel long distance.
The furthest bus ride I went was from Shibuya to Mt. Fuji, but that was on a tour group.

i had a DURIAN KING in Muar. 1kg = RM25. sebiji = 4KG. Was crying during eating. The most expensive ever i've paid for a durian in Malaysia.

Fire,
I thought all english movies being dubbed into japanese, i guess not eh?

Nope, not at all cinemas biggrin.gif

If it doesn't say Japanese dub, then its in English.
Eitherway, just ask the ticket operator that you want which language nod.gif
