$1400 + 43 Hours travel time one way and 36 hours return = 4 days travel only!
1 week vacation - 4 days travel = 3 days 3days - Still trying to find a hotel = Not fun https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif |
43 hours?? from where? how many stops?
i went in 02 for 7 hundred and change. and a 13 hour flight from jersey... |
damn just checked for tokyo and osaka. tokyo is 770(14 hrs) and osaka is 3000(20hrs) with a stop in detroit. train ride from tokyo to osaka is about 2 hrs.
if you do go do get an all japan rail pass. |
i went on orbitz and the fares round trip are $1300 something with about 4 stops but im going from miami to okinawa so !!!

Japan is fun, but its seriously expensive. Even more so now that the dollar has been falling in value. Hotel is what will kill ya. I thought about getting an all Japan rail pass, but I ended up just doing the local thing and using the coin machines. It turned out to be cheaper. Once you figure out what the cost of going to station to station, and use the fare adjust boxes (they do have english menu's) its really easy. I was getting around like a local in 3 days.
There is so much to see and do there, Id recommend get on a tour group. As much as tour groups can suck, they know how to get to difference places via bus, and you do not have to walk far or take a cab. Oh, do NOT take a cab in Japan unless you are out too late and the trains stop running. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Cabs are insanely expensive. Anyways, its one of the best vacations ive had. I think I spent nearly 3k including airfare. And that was when the dollar was 1.00 per 1.20 of yen. |
japan is great. i went there when i was like 16. the flight isnt that bad if u dont sleep the day before you go. and if your awake, your allowed to drink on the plane ride over

Japan is really expensive now with the Yen rate being $1 to 102Y...sucks when your beers are costing you $8 a bottle and you have to drink 20 of them to be really lit.
|
Ive paid $30.00 for a medium sized bottle ofgood sake so the prices seem about what im used to. Around here in the parks and things a bottle of beer can cost $6.00. One day I'll end up going, I've wanted to for a while but right now isnt a good time and moneys gonna be tight but someday!
EDIT: i just looked at my last bottle of sake, it was only 300ml. Made by TENZAN, off topic anyone know of a good place to buy it online? |
Just go over night, like parts from Japan.
