Pokemon center is where ar

If i know which pass is best i wouldnt have asked here

If you're only visiting Tokyo, the most convenient Pokemon center is @ Sunshine city in Ikebukuro, there are also 2 smaller stores in Tokyo station and Narita airport.
If you have time for side trips, there's also Pokémon centers @ Minato Mirai in Yokohama and @ Lalaport in Chiba

If I understand this correctly

Online reservation for this train ticket only allows for a maximum of 3 tickets at once.

If you need to order four or more tickets, please order in multiples of three or less tickets (note: this is the closest I think I understand)

So for example, if you need to order 5 tickets, please order 3+2 tickets in two separate transactions

Day 2: Kyoto
Day 3: Kyoto -> Biwako valley ski

Would like to ask a question regarding transportation to my very 1st accommodation in Japan.

Arrival- Narita T1 on 01-Dec-14, 08:45
To go: Jusohonmachi,Yodogawa-ku,Umeda

Used Hyperdia and got this as results

Should I select any of the route there? Or should I use Nex Tokyo round trip tic as recommended by 1 of my friend?

And what other important train/bus tickets should I buy at the beginning of my japan trip so I won't have to backtrack and purchase again? e.g full day bus pass for place XXX etc.. My general itinerary is 7days in Osaka/Kyoto and 7 days in Tokyo. I know a must-buy is the pasmo.

Thanks for the help guys Transportation is a bit challenging in Japan

going straight to Osaka on arrival? yes get on the shinkansen. I think you should get the 7 days JR Pass if your return trip back to Tokyo is within 7 days, otherwise you should just get the normal ticket. if you don't mind taking the slower shinkansen, you can use the Purrato Kodama ticket option to save some money. this is if you cannot use the 7 days JR Pass...

yes and get the NEX round trip ticket.

Hello,

thanks for opening this thread, I have a question about Li-ion battery in -0 environment.

I read that, batteries, such as iphone, DSLR, etc. dies very quickly in -0 environment.
How does Japanese work around it during those season?

I was hoping to bring my DSLR to Hokkaido in this Dec, but was worry if it even last a few hours.

Thanks for your time!

Sharing my experience with IPhone 4s at low temperature when I was in Iceland last month. When my battery is low around 40-50%, can only take two or three pictures before auto shut down. Phone only revive when plug into power bank for a while. Can feel the phone was ice cold when auto shut down. So make sure your battery level is high.

I was all over Hokkaido in Feb this year.
Surprisingly no issue with my iPhone 6+ & Panasonic GF6 batteries.
