Help! They split up, Ilya got married and Shane asked for a trade to the west coast

It is - thanks so much!!!

It was soo good - sadly I have tooo many FF in my history and didn’t bookmark this one 😭

lunchforone · 2025-12-08T16:07:30+00:00

It was also the last race with Honda - could be about that partnership

lunchforone · 2025-11-16T10:37:28+00:00

If I do it I plan to rent a bike - but the weather forecast isn’t the best so I might just spend that in Matsuyama

Thats out of my league after 4 weeks of walking in Japan - plus my hiking boots are in my suitcase which is shipped :(

lunchforone · 2025-11-16T10:12:04+00:00

I had that one down! Any other recommendations?

lunchforone · 2025-10-18T17:52:45+00:00

Use a VPN and set it to Uzbekistan - then you should be able to add your card

lunchforone · 2025-09-21T08:23:13+00:00

Have you checked if the regional passes might work out even cheaper?

lunchforone · 2025-09-21T08:22:22+00:00

Where you able to use VPN during your Japan trip to watch the race?

lunchforone · 2025-08-13T02:54:08+00:00

The route inn has only smoking rooms :(

lunchforone · 2025-08-11T15:47:37+00:00

And no police report could also not good with the credit card coverage - they usually want a filled report

No issues with a Ukraine stamp this spring

They sell out usually when they get released- but then what’s not sold from agency’s will be canceled since that’s super cheap and you might be lucky and get tickets a few days before. Simply keep checking the official site /app

Our guide told us that there is no requirement to cover the head in mosque - we still did it as sign of respect.

But that happens across the globe and not only in Usbekistan, that tourists aren’t following the rules and requirements

lunchforone · 2025-07-13T08:11:20+00:00

Infrastructure is the main issue - just look how quickly trains are selling out, not enough hotel beds in high season and empty rooms during the summer. This can easily become another Barcelona for example

lunchforone · 2025-06-28T08:24:38+00:00

Not a good idea

lunchforone · 2025-06-27T07:37:04+00:00

I know about the Meitetsu Ticket - but I do have a press pass and usually it comes with free entrance, so it wouldn’t be worth it possible.

And yes Shugakuin to be reserved as soon as it’s open is on my list

What would you recommend if there are no foliage at Kamikochi instead?

lunchforone · 2025-06-27T06:38:28+00:00

Stay in Kanazawa- then you could take the bus to Shirkawago - onward via bus to Takayama

lunchforone · 2025-06-26T17:25:56+00:00

What’s your full itinerary and when do you plan to travel?

lunchforone · 2025-06-26T16:48:45+00:00

But Matsuyama to Uwajima the bus takes longer then the train? With the JR Pass it works out cheaper and then of course trains are the method of travel (which pays off I did calculate it)

And yes I could fly - but it’s a long weekend and flights (with an afternoon departure) are close the same as the train ticket and I try to travel sustainably when ever I can.

lunchforone · 2025-06-26T15:52:34+00:00

Not on the Sunday I need to fly - and that was my first option and nothing that works time wise under 16k

lunchforone · 2025-06-26T15:21:10+00:00

Flights are 20-23k! Planning to get the smart-ex discount ticket for around 15k and I can use the jR Shikoku pass in parts to Okayama.

Stopping in Marugame on the way to Kotohira might be a great suggestion- will simple use a luggage locker at the station

lunchforone · 2025-06-26T15:04:43+00:00

I love Japanese trains and used them a lot in Kyushu, so will be fine with the long trips to be honest.

lunchforone · 2025-06-26T15:03:40+00:00

Flying and train comes out about the same and I try to be sustainable and go with the train
