Osaka & Kyoto, Japan Thread 2

[marose17]

You can buy USJ tickets through Discovery Travel in Salcedo Village.

We asked my cousin's friend to buy our USJ tickets and fast passes. We all got the fastpass 7 but since my hubby doesn't like rides I asked for the fastpass5 for him. Unfortunately she didn't know how to work the machines at Lawsons and my husband's entrance to the Wizarding World is at a different time slot  from ours I'm hoping we can ask for his to be changed the day we visit USJ.

So Osaka and Kyoto lang to I believe? Mukhang okay lang naman ang itinerary niyo sis. Halos lahat ng temples pupuntahan niyo?

Just got back from our Japan trip yesterday. Ang sarap ng trip namin pero nakakapagod! We stayed there for 23 days. We went to Osaka and Kyoto, pero by car lang. so, road trip talaga!

Hindi namin kinaya ang pila ng Harry Potter sa USJ, 5 hours kasi sya! So, nagtour nalang kame sa castle at namili ng konting HP goodies. Sa sobrang daming tayo, HP castle, Spiderman at Terminator lang ang napasok namin. nakakatuwa nung pagabe na, kasi Halloween na, so ang dameng nagkalat na 'zombies' sa daan, at biglang manggugulat ng mga tourists! Parang street show sa loob ng USJ.

Kyoto, ang ganda lang!

Hello, sisses! If I arrived Osaka at 9:00 PM, makakapunta pa ba ako sa Kyoto? Or better to spend the night at Osaka?

Ok na ba ganitong itinerary? TIA

Day 0  - arrived at Osaka (9:00 PM)
Day 1-3 - Kyoto
Day 4 - Osaka (USJ, maybe)
Day 5 - back to Manila

Wala bang murang hotel sa osaka? yung mga 1500 per night sana. May alam ba kayo? Para daw hindi pumila ng matagal sa USJ dapat meron kang timed ticket at extra pass. 

[kookai88]

ask ko lang din kung meron pa bang masasakyan sa osaka papuntang kyoto if the time of arrival namin is 8pm? saan kami sasakay if meron pa byahe papuntang kyoto?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ check airbnb, meron mga dorm-type/shared room lodging dun na nasa ganyang range per night.

[marose17]

^^ You can ride the train from Osaka to Kyoto.  Check train schedules at hyperdia.com. 

@the dreamer: You can take the train or the airport bus.  The train ride from Kansai Airport to Kyoto is approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes.  You can check the train schedule via hyperdia.com.  If you have a JR Pass, you can use it for your train ride from the airport to Kyoto or Osaka.

Done backreading thread 2. Inulit ko ulit baka may namiss ako regarding budget for food and itineraries.

Pwede na ba yun 2000 yen per meal per person for food sa kyoto osaka?

Sa reiah hotel kami nakabook. I read na outside city pero may malapit naman na station. Mas okay bang kumuha kami hotel sa osaka kung osaka fly out namin tapos mag universal kami on our 2nd to the last day sa tokyo kyoto osaka trip namin?

Eto kasi planned iti namin.
Day 1 to day 5 tokyo kami
Day 6 check out sa tokyo then travel to kyoto then travel to kobe to eat kobe beef
Day 7 kyoto tour puro temples
Day 8 universal studios
Day 9 osaka castle then airport na

Worry ko yun baggage namin ng last day kung saan namin ilalagay.

[luvko23]

^sis okay na yan 2000 yen average spending na in a not so expensive resto. If hindi pwede sa hotel niyo yung luggage pwede sa osaka station may mga big lockers dun. Our luggage na 30kgs nagkasya sa big locker nila.

[shygirlme]

Reiah hotel din kami nag stay sa Kyoto I think sis mas ok na don nalang kayo kesa mag hotel pa kayo sa Osaka. Mahaba haba lang travel period pero mas convenient kesa magpalipat lipat. Naalala ko lang mahigpit sa oras sa Reiah hotel nag extend ami ng 1hour 300yen ang bayad. Hehe

[projectgora]

sis blackgreen sa itinerary nyo, mukhang mas okay na Osaka ang gawin nyong base. Kasi parang one day lang talaga kayo mag tour sa Kyoto. Kung 3 nights kayo sa Osaka, wala kayo magiging problem sa luggage nyo on your last day.

[blackgreen]

Thanks mga sis. Nalito ako lalo. Hahaha..

Saan ba mas maganda mamasyal? Osaka or kyoto? Pero for sure na yun USJ namin. Namimili lang kasi ako kung day 7 namin osaka tour day 8 usj day 9 na lang yun kyoto temples.

[shygirlme]

^hahaha I cant answer you sis kung san maganda sa Osaka kasi nag USJ lang kami tapos nag Dontonbori. Sa Kyoto naman yung fushimi inari lang napuntahan namin kasi nag overnight kami sa ryokan.

[kachich]

@blackgreen 2000yen/meal pwede na. Snacks 500-1000yen

When are your travel dates? If within autumn season, ill stick with kyoto otherwise proceed with your plan but stay in Osaka na nga lang

[blackgreen]

^nov 3-11 kami sis. Ang suggestion mo sis day 7 kyoto, day 8 usj day 9 osaka tapos ang hotel namin sa osaka area na lang?

Nabasa ko kasi mas romantic daw kyoto kesa osaka so hindi ko pa alam saan pa kami pupunta ng osaka bukod sa osaka castle

Edit:
Mas mukhang sa best western hotel fino osaka na lang kami mag stay para nasa osaka na rin kami sa last day namin.

Ano pinakamaganda wifi rental? Tiningnan ko yun sa global advanced, wifi rental store tsaka telecomsquare. Pinakamura yun sa wifi rental store.

Hi guys

We're moving from Osaka to Nagoya on January 1, siguro noon time. Kelangan kaya mag advance purchase ng train tickets?

Naku I read nga tahimik sa osaka. Sana naman may mga open para may mapuntahan kahit papaano

Ok pa ba to go to Kobe? Ano nagagawa or nakikita dun?

I need to finalize na our itinerary kasi ilang months nalang before our trip eh.
