Hi dimitri_can,

Do you know how to use the postal services in japan? I'm thinking of sending some merchandise back to singapore by sea when I visit japan next month.

How do I tell the postal clerk that I want to ship these parcels by sea?

TIA

Fu-na-bin (船便) de Shin-ga-poo-ru made o-ku-ri-tai de-su.
I wanna send to SG by sea.

Hello ppl,

Planning to go japan from 13 Nov - 22 Nov 2015.

13 Nov - 2pm reach Tokyo Narita Airport
14 Nov - remain in tokyo (use JR pass to travel JR lines tokyo)
15 Nov - traveling to Kyoto

17 Nov - Travelling back to Tokyo (use JR pass to travel JR lines tokyo until 19 Nov end of 7 days)
22 Nov - back to Narita Airport.

My plan is to use the JR pass on 13 Nov from Narita airport to tokyo and starting the 7 days.
so its how it will be used

(13 Nov) Tokyo Narita Airport > Tokyo > Kyoto > (17 Nov) Tokyo > (22 Nov) Narita Airport

Is it still worth it to buy the rail pass? vs single trips?

Thanks

will be easier to get around if u stay near a station on yamanote line such as Ueno or Shinjuku.

yup, it is worth it to get the JR pass since are making a round trip to kyoto and back.

since u are travelling to kyoto, how about spending another 1-2 days to visit osaka as well

Looks like the Hankyu Kyoto Line Ltd. Exp. is more suitable for you.

45 mins from KAWARAMACHI to UMEDA @ 400yen

For Rakuten domestic shipping in major cities like Tokyo & Osaka, how much time do they need? Do they deliver on Saturdays?

Usually 1-2 days. It depends on a few things.
1) Type of delivery used (宅配便/ゆうパック/etc)
2) Type of delivery carrier
3) When item is shipped out
4) Postal code.

How i know: my friend work with Japan Post office, period. :p
