Tokyo - Anyone Going Or Living There At The Moment?

[stylz7]

Hey all

I am going to Tokyo in 4 weeks and was just wondering if anyone else will be there at same time or is anyone living there at the moment? Maybe could catch up somewhere while there?

Cheers

I'm not going there yet- but who are you flying with? I looked up flights and Qantas is expensive, but takes you to Tokyo and Jetstar is cheap but only goes to Osaka or Nagoya! Then it's either another flight, train or hitch hiking to get to Tokyo!

Jetstar are cheap and are fairly good.

To get from Osaka -> Tokyo the JR Rail passes are really really good and worth the money!. ~$300 for a weeks pass.

Osaka is a great place too! I like it, esp the long long long long shopping strip - around Shinsaibashi.

Take this and times it by like 50:

Thanks Dood(z)! So Jetstar it is...the railpass is a Japan wide thing? Sounds like an awesome idea to get around- seeing as i'll be coming from Osaka

I deeply apologise for point blank thread hijacking But i'll book flights and we can eat sushi and get drunk together

I'm here till the 6th! Such an amazing place! The rail system is confusing at first but absolutely excellent.. we went on qantas but i'm sure jetstar is cheaper. I just want to know if there are any interesting car shows or races on near Tokyo atm

What about catching Super GT? It's in the Shizuoka Prefecture @ Fuji Speedway. That's on my to do list.

Absolutely will be there! I saw the GTR win today on TV 　ａｎｄ　ｔｈｅ　ＮＳＸｓ　ｓｐｉｎ　ｏｕｔ　：Ｄ

JR rail passes are great.I had one for two weeks.But there are alot more lines in Tokyo that are not JR.Its cheap as though.

Osaka to Tokyo on Shinkansen is about 2 1/2hrs.If you were to pay,this fare alone is almost half of your JR pass.

Hey all

Sorry for the late reply, been away with work for couple days.

Im heading to Tokyo on 20the may till 2nd June, im flying with Malaysia airlines which i found to be fairly cheap , Myself and my mate are going and staying in tokyo, Would be good to catch up with couple people while there and either check out some things in the same interest, I see a few of you will be there around same time as we will be, maybe we can organize something?
