      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?

          You can take the Shinkansen fromTokyo to Osaka. The main station is Tokyo is Tokyo station. Use http://www.hyperdia.com to check the train schedule and cost. Just input your start and end point. You can always take the local trains to connect to the Shinkansen.

          If you plan to do F&E, then you can go F&E all the way. http://www.japan-guide.com is a good resource. I have been to all these 3 places over 2 different trips. You can follow the links below to get an idea of what can be done and then go to japan guide for more info and plan something out for yourself.

          Day 11-14 was spent in Tokyo

          Day 3-8 covers Kyoto & Osaka

          Hotel rooms in Japan are small. I don't think you can find a room for 5. Advisable to book 2 rooms.

                      Early dec, travel by SQ. Abt $800 plus. There are rooms that can accomodate 4 or 5 adults but they are easily taken up.

                        We visit Japan about once every year. AirBnB offers good deals on either rooms or the entire house/apartment. The Japanese are very helpful, and as we have GPS, it’s very easy and pleasant to move around from one place to another
