Hi Dnls_mummy,


Thanks so much! This is perfect! I will take this and modify accordingly. Open jaw is a good idea but I redeemed my miles for the tickets and don’t know if and how I can change now?

I normally redeem 2 one way trips when I travel open jaw. You can check if the Osaka leg has available flights for redemption. If they do, give SQ a call to ask if you can switch. Otherwise, you may end up having to redeem a one way for Osaka and cancel a one way for Tokyo. That may incur some cost around USD50. But points for 2 one ways or a return trip is the same. The SQ call centre staff are normally very helpful.

Thanks for the tip!

I am planning a trip to Osaka this Dec after we went Tokyo last year. Thanks to those who shared esp dnls_mummy.


Anyone can advise if I can find a ski resort nearby Osaka (less than 1.5hrs travelling if possible). What can we explore in Osaka?

We are still deciding if we should go Tokyo again but any idea if its better to take train or plane? How much roughly is the train ticket?

Thanks in advance again.

Junemum,
Glad that I was of some help.
If you plan to go to Tokyo from Osaka, it is convenient to take the Shinkansen. You can price out the price of a single trip ticket on http://www.hyperdia.com
Alternatively, you can consider getting the all Japan rail pass if there are other places that you wish to go.
One the the places that you can consider going skiing is Nagano. There are ski resorts there. It is the sight of the former Winter Olympics. But it is more than 1.5 hrs from Osaka.

Is Nagano nearer from Tokyo or Osaka?? Any ski resort to recommend? We are planning to go same period like 8th Dec thus don't think they will snow yet but hoping they have man made snow as well?

Can I know if I arrive Haneda airport 1am in the morning, can I still get public transport to the city? I tried to google but it looks like the public transports are only available in the morning. Any economical way to get to the city? Thanks!

Hi,


Plan to travel to Tokyo / Osaka / Kyoto in Dec. As this is my first time planning to Japan, i would appreciate advice from parents here.

Is going 9d8n enough to Tokyo / Osaka / Kyoto ? ravelling with 3A and 2C. Do you think hotel can just look for a family room with 2 queen beds? The hotel won’t check right?

How do you all travel from Tokyo to Osaka? Go which station to take train ? How abt airport transfer, where u all book and if f&e how abt the tour, do u all go yourself or book local tour to bring u to some places?
