Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Domestic only mate? I am flying jetFart. Perth to melbs,. Melbs to Sydney, Sydney to Osaka, so i guess I can do that for the first 2 legs, not sure about the last one. Well, we have 4 hours in each airport first 2 legs, so it's either bar lounge, sleep or organize tix =) great info Kokodoko, cheers mate! Wisepearl, or anyone in Osaka, have you got a recommendation for a Hotel the first night?< I am still struggling to know what to do. Since we are getting the 3 week rail pass, i don't want to pay more & get an overnight bus to hakuba, would rather take train. Sighs, it's all so complicated being white =0 Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 oh doh! Domestic! Maybe i should learn to read before i post!!11!! I have sussed out a few hotels in the shin-imamiya area. They are heaps cheap there.. Also, it is near the subway that goes direct to ShinOsaka Station for the bullet train.. Shin Imamiya Cheap Hotels Hotel Toyo Yougendo GuestHouse. To get to Shin Imamiya from the airport you take the osaka loop train. To get to Shin Osaka you can get the subway at Dobutsuen-mae station. Both stations are very close to these cheap hotels. I hope some of that helps. To make up for my big booboo.. doh! Link to post Share on other sites

jzpowahz 0 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi, I am wanting to get from Nagoya to Hakuba (also jetstar flight) I was wanting to get an 18 Kippu pass (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2362.html) It says only valid on local trains (futsudensha/kakuekiteisha) and rapid trains (kaisoku). Would this be an option? I have been using this site for train info. http://grace.hyperdia.com/cgi-english/hyperWeb.cgi Thanks Chris Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 it will take you a looooong time if you use the local (18 kippu) as it stops at every single station. If you have time, fine, if time is an issue, dont! Link to post Share on other sites
fortymilliondaggers 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Definately an option from Nagoya. It will take between 4-5 hours by local trains if you time your connection at Matsumoto right, but you'll only save an hour or two on limited express, still have to make a change of trains at matsumoto, and cost 7500 more.

tripitaka 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Any idea how tight bus reservations are from Osaka to Hakuba after Dec 25? Might have to get up to JR in Umeda and check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 theyre usually pretty booked around that period TT. I dunno how full they are now, and on this computer I dont have links to bus companies, but if you do a search on buses on this site the links are there and you can call up and find out.

tripitaka 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Might be a good idea. Would think that they put extra buses on but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
tripitaka 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I went to the travel agent at lunch today. Sunshine Tours are running overnight buses from 10500 yen between Osaka and Hakuba. The service leaves at about 9:30 p.m. from Shin Osaka and you arrive in Hakuba at about 6 a.m. Right now, there are seats available up to and on December 28th (the final business day of the year). Don't know about after that. The bus also stops in Kyoto and there are shuttles to take you to the bus should you need them. I went to Heiwado travel agency so most agencies (including JTB) should be able to book for you. The agent reckons that Sunshine is cheaper, faster, more comfortable and more convenient than using the JR. I called JR West bus yesterday and they said that they have no serivce to Hakuba, only Matsumoto. It's about the same price as going direct to Hakuba on Sunshine. Link to post Share on other sites
Ewok 2 1 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 domokun, your wife made a reservation yet? might want to confirm with my boss if it's ok to take a day off, he'll be back from slovenia this friday i think. Link to post Share on other sites

tripitaka 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Koko, All the Sunshine buses are at night. Why waste daylight hours on a bus anyway? Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 plane comes in at 8:30 pm. I have no desire to spend a night on the bus after 8-9 hours on a plane.. and i cant sleep on buses. If i get a very early train i can get to hakuba by midday'ish and maybe get an afternoon ski in.. maybe.. Link to post Share on other sites
