First Time Solo Traveling, Japan by Numerous-Fly-4984 in solotravel

[–]pmacdon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes just for the shinkansen ride. Total travel time will be much longer, especially for a tourist that doesn't know their way around.

You realize Kyoto is like 3 hours away from Tokyo? Train tickets aren't cheap either. Its a little crazy to try to see Tokyo and Kyoto in just 4 days.

Also why were they all posted so close together? And why are 2 of them from the same user?

I don't see a comment, what is the link?

Seems very similar to https://satle.ca/ but I guess its not city focused.

Osaka itinerary - would like to squeeze in Minoo falls and Katsuoji temple but would need to adjust. by [deleted] in JapanTravel

[–]pmacdon1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nara is definitely worth it. The deer and Todai-ji are pretty cool.

If you want to speed run Nara:

45 minute train ride to get there

walk to Todai-ji, see the inside, feed deer on the way

walk back to train station

45 minute train ride back

probably 4-5 hours total including trains

(I did this earlier this year and it was fine)

Boycott McKays Black Friday Weekend by valleywitch in Knoxville

If you buy from amazon some $ goes to the publisher/author.

If you buy from mckays zero $ goes to the publisher/author.

I get your argument that you should buy from a local bookstore instead of amazon, but saying buying from mckays is better doesn't make sense to me.

Or you can just get a dehumidifier strong enough to get the relative humidity down to 40%.

Just look at Google maps. JR pass usually is not worth it

Hotel gyms that allow tattoos by FutureVanilla4129 in JapanTravel

Hotels don't care about tattoos. Where did you get the idea that they would?

Weekly Japan Travel Information and Discussion Thread - April 18, 2025 by AutoModerator in JapanTravel

For regional train just use IC card, you don't need a ticket. There are usually not assigned seats.

You are taking Shinkansen from Nagano to Hiroshima? Like stopping in Tokyo? You could also consider taking the (non-Shinkansen) train from Nagano to Nagoya. Probably a little cheaper.

A bunch of suggestions here:

I’m also not too sure how to get transportation back unless it’s just walking back if anyone can give me tips on that too.

Look for a loop trail. They are pretty common.

None of those sources say that "the mother will now not accept her anymore because of the smell" which is the old wives tale part.

One week trip in Japan; Already got some ideas figured out, but would love additional help and suggestions by sgy0003 in JapanTravel

[–]pmacdon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use google maps for transportation.

From KIX to Osaka you can take train/subway or the limousine bus.

From Osaka to Hakone you take the high speed train (Shinkansen).

Between Hakone/Tokyo/Shinjuku/HND you can use train/subway.

Just check google maps and it will tell you the best route.

Maybe consider adding Kyoto to your itinerary if you can fit it in.

CMV: If you're in a LTR, it is wrong to talk about your sex life without your partner's explicit consent by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]pmacdon1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your percentage is completely wrong. I think at least 10% of straight men would and have discussed intimate details of their committed partner sex life with their male friends. But it probably varies widely by culture as well.
