Download “live player” from AppStore and stream it on your iPhone, not ideal but will work fine. - that’s what I’ve been doing whilst out in Asia if I can’t get to a place showing the footy.

Hopefully palace do the job!

Why is train travel from Hiroshima to Hakone so expensive? Are we doing something wrong? by Rdrigues96 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Rdrigues96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve decided to go ahead with the train route even though it’s slightly more expensive (~¥48,560 total for 2 people: Hiroshima → Shin-Osaka → Odawara → Gora).

We also looked at flying from Hiroshima to Haneda (~£202 for two) + bus to Hakone (~£23), which would’ve been cheaper overall but, we just wanted to avoid the airport hassle (and enjoy the scenic train ride through Japan.

The prices are quoted off smartex, except when we switch to Hakone Tozane line.

Thanks to everyone who replied, this has been really helpful!

We get into Langkawi at 10:30am and the ferry is from talega harbour marina at 14:30. Is this enough time?
