[Review] Japan Spring 2014 Solo Trip

[anyhowsaysay]

hi Guys...need some advice...

I have 1 morning (8am to 12pm) to visit 2 temples. Can advice which of the following to choose?

Kinkakuji temple, ryoanji temple, ninnanji temple and daitokuji temple (or any other surrounding places)


**ahss and majimax...when u meeting huh? whole day or dinner only?

Can do something like Kinkakuji then Ryoanji and Ninnaji

All of them are within walking distance and can be done from 9am to 12pm (3 hours)

Kinkakuji open at 9am

Sony also cheaper. going there to buy my zeiss lens

with weak yen can save maybe 200-300 dollars~

Not sure about online. I brought from JTB at their Ion store. Considering Yen is weakening, better to buy when it is closer to your trip (One week before departure)

based on the other thread..i guess i'll get mine in Singapore...im surprised to know this...lol

anyway...i got another qn...paiseh ah...

i'll be travelling from kyoto to arima onsen (staying in a ryokan) for one night's stay. but the journey will take ard 2hrs and need abt 4 transfers of trains.
So i was thinking maybe will just stay in kyoto (secured 2 capsule hotel bookings) to visit the remaining shrines and also to minimize the trouble to travel.

what do you think? which will you choose?

Arima Onsen is not easy to go. Never really been there before

For me, I like onsen so normally i will go Onsen.

I also like Kyoto, so i will also go there.

It is very hard question to choose. I will choose both~

The physical store around Japan should be selling around the same prices.
