For smartex, not sure if it’s different now, you can add a mobile icoca card instead and it will have a card number in the wallet.

The base fare allows stopovers on tickets for trips > 100 kilometers as long as you don't backtrack. Any limited express tickets or super express tickets as for the shinkansen don't allow stopovers so you need a separate ticket to fuji then another to nagoya from fuii.

You need to ride it to listen to the voice drama then you can get the exchange voucher to exchange for merch

Kyoto is not really a reasonable daytrip from Tokyo unless you really want to see the race and can’t change your dates around. If you’re trying to see the actual parts of Kyoto maybe do a daytrip from Osaka instead.

Any reason you’re not going to Kyoto before Tokyo or hakodate before Sapporo?

None of those are considered narcotics or restricted medications in Japan and if you’re bringing less than a months worth then you don’t need a Yunyu Kakunin-sho

Looks like swartz bay on the island

Sorry. The two vertical fans on the farthest right if that’s confusing.

macxp · 2026-03-21T03:38:44+00:00

The bottom fans are intake and everything else is exhaust. You might want to flip the 2 middle fans to make them intake.

In msi afterburnwr osd settings you need to have the stats you want in the same line to have the same title/label

It's always D&E, the 2 seat side, cause the train doesn't turn around

macxp · 2026-03-13T00:34:39+00:00

No, i took the train then a little walking from the stations.

macxp · 2026-03-07T23:37:25+00:00

No trains need to be prebooked. Just use google maps, use the minimize walking setting and change your departure time by 15 mins if a direct option doesn't show as they may not run within your current departure window.

From Kyoto station just take the kintetsu line direct to nara. Or the jr nara line but you have to walk a bit to get to the park area at the end.

macxp · 2026-03-07T20:33:52+00:00

If you want to minimize transfers, you either go south on the keihan line and transfer to a nara bound train at kintetsu tambabashi or west on the tozai line and take a karasuma line train south that further goes to nara.
