Most trains support IC Card even in Kyoto.

But Bus in Kyoto, cannot use IC Card now (But i heard they going start accepting soon)

ok

the day is here

I is go airport liaos...

 

[cleffa3000]

So good sia
Wonder when i got $$ go jap

From my experience, most ryokan don't cater to foreigners.
So booking is tough, although some of them provide english booking website but the booking plans and options are not as comprehensive compared to the Japanese one.

Because I know a bit of Japanese so normally i just use the Japanese website to book and then email the Ryokan to communicate further~

oh ok..

sian..then almost like no chance lo..even if got the $ n want to experience it.

 

[TwMilkTeaTw]

no lah, they may not speak english but they do cater to gaijin. I have stayed at about 10 different ryokans too. Just that booking could be a pain since mostly in Jap.

If u want i can book for u. Dun worry about payment because it is usually cash upon check out.
