Personally I have been on round island rail trips around Jap 3 times in the past couple of years so feel free to ask any questions. =)

7. So far I have never took any taxi in Japan. Here's a hotel which I stayed before which I felt is cheap (around 10000 yen), clean and good.
From airport, take Keisei Main Line to UENO (1060Yen), then from UENO, take the JR Yamanote line from UENO to OSAKI. The hotel is a short stroll to the JR OSAKI station. There is a direct overhead bridge which links the train station to a building and the hotel is connected to that building. In that building, there's Saboten, Mos Burger etc etc...and 24 hour convenience store...so its sheltered and convenient.

Narita also have all kinds, but seems like always selling higher than online retailers or biccamera/yodoyabashi. If you want absolutely no fuss then can consider getting from qoo100

Ok I have checked online and many people are saying, even my personal friends, to take the limo bus. Is it really complicating to navigate through the train station? They said if we have luggage bus is th best option.

I plan to take the NEX round trip tickets as they take less time to travel.

However I need to change to Keio line to get myself to Shinsen station. (is this gonna be soo complicating as per mentioned by some of the online people?)

Oh wells. I guess I have to settle this when I'm there. Time for me a crucial as my flight is a late one By the time i reach the hotel it will be 4.30pm the earliest. Half a day gone!

Hope I enjoy my trip and eat sashimi over sake everyday I'm there.

Anyone knows where I can get whale meat and also live octopus?

was supposed to go with a local friend to have whale meat deep in Chiba prefecture but didn't go in the end as we were busy

i recall seeing a restaurant offering fugu (puffer fish) at Shibuya

Some of the local Japanese sushi shop in Tokyo got sell whale meat. Mostly the belly part of the whale, taste like bacon. it wil b nice if u can taste the fin part, not many shop sell that.

But this week u goin is not seafood season. Tuna not so great, no crab.

U should go for tempura as spring vegetables is the season now
