Finally natapos na din ako magbackread. I will be travelling to Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe last week of May to 1st week of June. Haven't booked airfare yet. Worth it ba pumunta sa Nara for a day tour? Ilang days kaya marerecommend nyo for osaka-kyoto-kobe tour, is 5 days enough? And for Kyoto, mas ok ba na magstay overnight or day tour na lang din? TIA

[greyzie]

^hi sis, aside from Todaiji Temple, Nara has many world heritage sites... it's worth the trip, imho. For Kyoto, I would suggest you spend 2 days there.

[mozilla]

just got back from my solo trip: Osaka - Kyoto - Nagoya - Osaka
it was a short, tiring trip, masakit sa katawan ginawa ko...hehe! pero ang ganda ng japan. expensive talaga. Japan is not a tourist friendly but the people are very nice and helpful. grabe, from my day 1 till my last day in japan.
as in amazing race trip lang ako dun. pagdaan ko sibat na agad ako. haha!.
big chunk of my budget went to train fares. nakakaloka ang train stations nila dun. whew! all in all my trip was a success. inabutan ko yung umulan ng konting snow haha! sobrang lamig dun.
fave ko yung Kyoto, saka yung naglalakad ako sa kahabaan ng kalye ng osaka papunta ng Osaka Castle, kasi naabutan ko po yung konting autumn color... i love it...

can you also share which hotel you stayed at and how much? parang wala akong nakitang post about murang accommodation..

[mozilla]

^^ i stayed at Osaka J Hopper Hostel mura lang sya at malinis, malapit sa fukushima station, grocery, restos saka ok ang feedback sa tripadvisor... i stayed at the female dorm for only 2500yen/night (so mga P1200 lang sa pera natin

[eischied_21]

^sis, ilang beds meron dun sa female dorm?

[mozilla]

^^ 6 beds sis...(tig 3 double deck bed) every bed merong light lamp, saka 1 socket tas meron patungan ng mga gamit.  tas every bed may curtain so you can still have privacy. saka wala naman pakelaman dun eh kasi most of the guests are also travellers. yung nga lang share ng bathroom, wait ka lang pag maliligo. pero keri lang, and i assure you malinis sya.

[tammy1979]

^^ Thank you for sharing sis mozilla I hope meron pang ibang makakapag share para madaming options.
