Thanks saffronsatire. So if non reserved seat, i can only buy on the day of departure and not like few days advance?

No, you can also buy in advance or just before departure. No timing printed on the ticket, just the date.

Since we are on the topic of shinkasen. I will be from Haneda Airport and would have to travel straightaway to Sapporo. Do i need to book my seat to Sapporo in advance or can i just hop on to any train with my JR Pass?

If I do need to reserve, can I book the seat from Thailand? As I would be transiting there first.

Is this new? I remember in 2015, i bought 2 days in advance. Wanted to buy reserved but they didn't have seats together for my preferred timing.

Gion and nishiki market do together with kyomizu if you got the legs for it

Kinkakuji with philosopher's walk

Arashiyama on it own
Fushimi inari is on the south. Alone too

Thanks, but will skip the theme park, as we are going with a tollder.. will be visiting thomas the train park though, so likely not taking this package.

So to get the bus ticket, i have to buy on the spot?

what to wear in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka during year end this year?

and will there be any restaurants or eateries open during xmas and new year? or have to just eat from 7 eleven or family mart?

 

[qwertyotaku]

and how come i can't purchase the starlight ticket from tokyo disneyland online? my credit card kept rejecting the transaction stating that my cards are not verified with the 3d thingy

 

[cancer81]

depends on your tolerance for cold imo
I would suggest layering up enough, you can still remove coat indoors, gloves and beanie go a long way keeping you warm

you got check if the dates you want are still available? I am not sure why the site will break

unless they do not sell overseas which is strange

xmas is not a holiday in japan, so shops/restaurants are all opened.
