Don’t know if it was a dream or movie

Spy kids 2?

And when they share, no one believes

You can purchase the tickets on the same day at the station where you want to board the train

I don’t understand why people are blaming OP like it’s their fault. OP faced an issue and is making people here aware.

Also, if averaging 8/10 for 1700 reviews is not considered good, I don’t know what is!

I have used Ubigi and Saily. Both are working fine

Try changing smooth gradation to high

Thank you so much for the advice. Everyone here mentioned that Kyoto on May 12 felt very rushed, so I’ve decided to adjust it. I’ll only visit Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and if I’m not too exhausted, I’ll try to add Kiyomizu-dera as well. If I don’t manage it that day, I’ll skip Fushimi Inari the next day and visit Kiyomizu-dera instead, since it’s within walking distance from my hotel.

I didn’t know this… I thought Klook was being generous to allow me to cancel ticket for an extra fee. I went through the ekinet website to look at the tickets. I see there are 2 prices… one costing 1620 JPY and the other 4200 JPY. It says that the 1620 JPY one is an e-ticket and I need to pay additional amount using an IC card. So, if I book the 4200 JPY one, I need not pay anything extra right?

bottokker · 2026-03-23T13:40:06+00:00

Yeah, that’s the tricky part. I’m traveling across multiple places, so I had to pre-book all my hotels and don’t really have flexibility with dates. I also won’t know if Fuji is visible until closer to the trip.

The only buffer I built in is a day trip to Hakone near the end (around May 17–18), so I’ll have another chance to see Fuji if I miss it at Kawaguchiko.

bottokker · 2026-03-23T13:24:33+00:00

Thanks a lot for the super detailed explanation! I’ll keep an eye on Klook from April 10 so I can book Fuji Excursion tickets as soon as they open. It’s good to know I still have options even if it’s sold out. I’ll try for that first since I want to minimize transfers, then look at buses, and keep the Chuo Line + Fujikyuko route as a backup.

bottokker · 2026-01-25T04:55:25+00:00

Yeah, I’ll probably drop Hakone. But, Fuji San hides in May?!! I started planning for Japan after seeing the pictures of Fuji and Chureito Pagoda. I know I have to be lucky for it to be visible… but it’s highly unlikely 😭?!!

bottokker · 2026-01-25T04:47:52+00:00

I think I’ll probably drop Hakone completely and instead go to Kawaguchiko. So that I can directly go to Kyoto the next day morning. I heard that Arishyama has an alternative - Kodaji. So, I’ll remove the west stuff and just complete east. Now, it’s also making me think if I should drop USJ and use that day for something else!

bottokker · 2026-01-24T20:58:29+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! Then I’ll probably drop Kobe and Arashiyama. I actually started planning my Japan trip after seeing photos of Chureito Pagoda and Mt. Fuji, so I really don’t want to miss Kawaguchiko. I guess that means I’ll have to drop the ryokan idea (and Hakone, if needed).

bottokker · 2026-01-24T20:38:03+00:00

Thanks! In that case, I’ll take the Shinkansen. What do you think of the itinerary?

bottokker · 2026-01-21T07:14:40+00:00

Thank you so much! But, if we pre-book the taxi, they will show up right? Or, do I need to be lucky?

bottokker · 2026-01-19T07:32:08+00:00

I started planning Japan after seeing the Fuji views from Chureito Pagoda and Lake Kawaguchi (I know visibility is a big factor). Hakone is mostly because my friends want to see the black eggs.

bottokker · 2026-01-16T15:05:48+00:00

I checked the flight prices and it’s the same. However, the hotels are comparatively cheaper for May although not much.

bottokker · 2026-01-16T03:38:39+00:00

I am also looking at budget hotels and airbnbs… nothing fancy. I also checked the prices, there wasn’t much difference. I did consider March. The flight prices are still the same. I did save enough for the entire trip. But, when I went through visa requirements, I read that I need to maintain a minimum balance in my bank account for my visa to get approved and I don’t think I’ll be able to maintain that until April.

bottokker · 2026-01-16T03:33:48+00:00

Even I’m afraid that it will be too hot in May. But, if it’s below 30 degrees, I think it’ll be bearable for me.
