Japan 2012 (Sep)

Ok, 5th trip coming up. This time I'll be going on my own since the hubby isn't going.

My main reason for this trip is because I just couldn't resist the One Piece Grand Arena Tour 2012 event which will be held in Fukui over the last 2 weekends of Sep (http://opga.jp/) .

Itinerary:
Day 1: Board AirAsia flight from Singapore to KL, then KL to Osaka (Part 1)
Day 2: Arrival at Osaka Kansai Airport in the morning. Explore Den Den Town in Osaka. (Part 1)
Day 3: Day trip to Okayama and Himeji (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 4: Day trip to Wakayama, then to Kyoto (Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3)
Day 5: Day trip to One Piece Grand Arena Tour event at Sabae in Fukui (Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3)
Day 6: Kyoto (Typhoon day) (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 7: Explore Arashiyama, then proceed to Kobe. Stay at a capsule hotel (Part 1 Kyoto / Part 2 Kobe)
Day 8: Kobe to Osaka (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 9: Day trip to Nara (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 10: Osaka (Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3)
Day 11: Osaka to KL, then KL to Singapore. (Part 1)

  1. I was contemplating between Switzerland and Japan again until i remember your photo blog in CS.

    I think your photos from Japan has made me confirm i will go Japan again (It's cheaper than Swiss for sure. And i think it is safe to visit Swiss alone with pickpocket on the rise and Japan is so much more safe.)

    Glad to come to your blog to read and know that there is this one piece tour going on. Guess i may drop by when i visit Osaka.

    Nara and Arashiyama are my favourite places when i visited Kyoto last year. I am sure you will enjoy it.

    Cheers,
    Yap
