Japan: Osaka - Holiday in Osaka

[Slowwalker]

Hi Guys,

Am going to Osaka, Japan for a short trip(1week).

Planned to take train to tokyo from Osaka as well.

Might stop over at Hakone on the way to Tokyo if time permit us.

 

All feedback and advise are welcome....

Thanks in advance

Wow, 1 week and 3 places seem like a quickie. Very hectic for you.

 

Anyway, some insights here;

 

Tokyo - Akihabara(electronics town)

Osaka - Ten-Ten town(also electronics town)/Kyobashi(night-club)

Hrrr....i think sakura season over liao right ?

[Slowwalker]

Think so, my departures date is end of July, very hot and wet season at OSAKA . Cannot ask earlier date as its a coy retreat.

Tokyo almost = Osaka

 

Shuttling between 2 is a hassle. Might as well just stay in one place for the entire week. Just my opinion.

i wan chocolate !!

 

 

okie.. rephrase..

 

could u kindly help me to get a box of "bai se lian ren" ?

First three days and nites will spend at OSAKA, following day will take train to Tokyo.

May be detour to Hakone if, if time permit.

Then we will fly off back to Spore from Tokyo.

Can take the bullet train from tokyo to osaka right ?

 

Believe it or not, i havent experience it b4.

"bai se lian ren"

[Iceklsy]

bullet train.. when u are in it.. u will realise the speed is not much different from singapore MRT. juz that u get seats like those in the air planes.. more comfortable.. and u get to order food ..

white lober la..

 

[Slowwalker]

That's y we plan to take e train, ONCE in a life time.

DIE DIE musst go Tokyo.... if not, like mountain turtle

[Porker]

The shinkansen train speed is about 250km/h at least so how can it be almost the same as MRT

[Iceklsy]

donno.. no feeling leh..

 

when u take aeroplane u can feel the 900km/hr de speed meh..

 

[Iceklsy]

go Mt fuji ...

 

but july.. no snow le..

 

i went march.. half moutain covered wif snow..

 

so pretty.

 

[Hiphiphoray]

Then what abt the bullet train connecting btw france & england ?

 

Compare with the japan trains, which is more thrilling to you. Surely u have sat on both before.

[Iceklsy]

EuroRail ?

 

[Slowwalker]

Heard Mt Fuji cannot suka suka go up one. Depend on your luck.

They might close the entence if weather is bad...

Probably will give a miss....
