[MajiMax]

I never been to Japan...i am going next June to tokyo
May i ask...is there a simple FAQ or guide that i can go through about japan transportation? i will be traveling by train..their train system is so complicated.
Secondly.. i am spending like 10days only - planning to go Osaka , Kyoto , Kobe. Is there a itinerary to share?
Thank you Many Japan experts here!

Can either consider just visting around Tokyo, Yokohama, Fuji region instead. Return transport to/from Osaka is easily another 300SGD, probably more worthwhile to visit for your next trip instead. Kansai region is easily worth another 10+ days for next trip.

For transport just use google map would do, follow the train color. Do some homework on whether any of the passes are worth getting.

9 years ago, I was so clueless about travelling to Japan. I did not know where to look for information. I had to ask on anyhowsaysay's Japan travelling thread for guidance or idea (there were so many things to ask, and even to date despite I visited 33/47 prefectures, there is always something new to learn about travelling to Japan) before I could made my first trip to Japan.

imo it is really hard to create a thread from scratch if a person (me) is clueless about the place.

The Nagano-toyama region traveling seems more complex. Next year if my trip confirmed, need to tap both your brains. Probably going via nagoya if sq prices not ridiculous. @Gixxerfied planning my April tohoku trip in the meanwhile.

Hokuriku not complex...Trust moi...

Maybe if first time to Japan then yea..Go to Japan before one would be okay..

So sorry about that.

So sorry about that.

nah..no worries..but of cos once you figure out your location/sites, it's definitely better to start a separate thread..

Offering are similar since they falls under the same group..

I never been to Kobe-Sanda but went Rinku before. If day trip from Osaka then Rinku makes sense transport wise.

@Gixxerfied I just realised you did not visit the Shomyo Falls (take bus from Tateyama Station). Was it because you reached Tateyama Station too late?

The timing seems tight (basically have to take the last roundtrip bus) if really want to go. After that, still have to take another hour reach Toyama station from Tateyama station
