Carol asks…

I can not find a detailed road map of Hokkaido, Japan. Any helpers?

I’m hitting up Hokkaido, Japan in January 2010. And am wanting a detailed map showing main roads, towns, railway lines, airports and major snow resorts as I’ll be jumping around from snow resort to snow resort and am hoping to map it all out so I’m not going around in circles. I dont mind at all purchasing the map from a store on line. I’m just having trouble located a good one with everything I need on it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

admin answers:

Try Mapple maps, you can find them in any bookstores in Japan.
Or on the net: http://map.mapple.net/
Hokkaido is very easy to get around, it is not Honshu….also if you rent a car, there will be a navigator in it.

Try this one too

public tranportation from Fukuoka airport to Sasebo Japan?

Google maps tells me where to go, and what trains to use, but it’s all in Japanese! Is there a way for me to translate google maps to english? If not, please tell me the trains I need to use to get from Fukuoka airport to Sasebo Japan. Thanks! Time is of the essence!

admin answers:

Highway bus goes direct from Fukuoka airport to Sasebo in one hour and fourty minutes and is faster than limited express train.
This bus service is provided every 20 to 60 minutes.
There is English timetable in the following website:

Maria asks…

Can i buy a cheap chip to use internet in my iphone arriving to Japan?

I want to use my iphone to translate things and use the maps, could I buy a prepaid chip at the airport in Japan?

admin answers:

I don’t know if you can get the SIM card at the airport (You can get a prepaid mobile phone there, though.)
but in Japan you can buy a SIM card at “b-mobile”.

Http://www.j-com.co.jp/en/index.html

http://www.bmobile.ne.jp/lineup.html

If you get a “talking SIM”, you can make a phone call, and if you get “b-micro SIM”, you can only access the Internet (and it’s cheaper).

Both types of SIM card, standard SIM and micro SIM are available.

The problem is whether your iPhone is SIM-free or not.
If you got one in the US, probably your iPhone is SIM-locked, which means it doesn’t accept other SIM card, whether abroad or in the US.

Mandy asks…

What is the cheapest air ticket I can get from Japan to the Philippines?

My family and I were planning to go to the Philippines this December. We were wondering what the cheapest possible route was from Japan to the Philippines.

We are planning to leave Japan on December 10 2007 and we will return to Japan within the first week of January 2008. We do not mind having to transit at a different airport or using multiple airlines.

admin answers:

Hi,

You can get very useful info related to air tickets from http://www.bestdealsononline.com . Check it out! Happy Journey!!

David asks…

I am going to Manila on a one way ticket, I have a one way ticket back from another airline is there a problem?

Hi, I heard you cannot leave the US for the Philippines on a one way ticket if you are not a citizen of Philippines and that the airline will not let you board the plane without proof of a return flight. I am leaving from the US. It is the law of Philippines also to seek a return flight but I know their customs often do not check (I was there in august and they took my customs checklist and threw it away without even looking lol).

So my question is how closely will the airline.. Im flying from (Japan Airlines) look at my intinerary from a different airlines to let me on the flight in the first place leaving the US. Will they call a different airline to confirm? I have heard that they sometimes dont even check for you return flight.

The reason I ask is because I have not bought my ticket back I just changed the dates on my previous flight online inteniary(it looks very legit) because Iam getting a extension on my temporary tourist visa while there for $59. Any info would be great.
Thanks for all the info, I was in Metro Manila(Malate) for two weeks and stayed at my buddies condo last August so I know how things work over there. The US Embassy is about 15 minutes form where he lives, does it still cost $59 for a 39 day temporary tourist visa extension? I am just going to buy a return ticket when I am ready to leave, I have been told the airlines really dont care about a return ticket as long as you are going to return to the US which I am thanks for the replies
Forgot to mention, does anybody know of any nice cities within a 6 hour distance by bus from Manila, me and my friend are looking perhaps bagiuo city? I love manila but its sort of expensive when compared to the whole country…btw I love the Philippines and when I have enough money I want to retire there but until then my buddies condo will have to do

admin answers:

You dont need a ticket back to the usa. You just need a ticket out of the country. The US embassy in the philippines doesnt issue philippine visas, i dont think. Most travel agents will get your visa extension for you for a small fee. Its worth it not to wait in line.

Some nice places to visit a by bus (and ferry) are puerto galera, subic, baguio and cebu.

Try to get out of manila. I love the philippines but despise manila.

Travel To Japan Cheap

Chris asks…

which is cheaper, travelling to japan or tp korea?

well, in general, is the cost of staying for vacation higher in japan or in s.korea?

admin answers:

Korea is a cheaper place to travel than Japan. Almost everything is cheaper there.

Maria asks…

I am going to both Japan and Korea this summer….?

…I have a total of 9 weeks to do whatever I want. How should I divide it?
I am staying in hostels almost everywhere I go. I have no language skills but will be meeting with several friends (and obscure acquaintances) I have in both countries that live anywhere from extra-rural to very urban, so I have local guides to help me almost everywhere I go. Thus, I am saving cash by travelling cheap and hostelling. I want to go to baseball games in both countries and am completely open to suggestions otherwise. Thank you

admin answers:

And have been back a couple times since. So I have some ideas on Korea for you.

One thing, is in Seoul.

Start with the Myong Dong shopping market in Seoul – blocks and blocks long and there is EVERYTHING. You can look, have a few won and buy candy, some seaweed strips and Kim Pop and just walk around.

Also in Seoul, go to the gates – the three gates of the old city are not that far apart – you can walk to all of them and they are very, very cool old things.

And in Seoul, see the Zoo (always loved that), the five palaces, and the National Museum

There’s also the Korean Folk Village in Suwan near Taegu

and north, just north of Tong Du Chon (north of Ui Jamb Bu) is Namsam Mountain, which is kind of cool too. It’s a buddhist thing, kind of neat.

I think there are three baseball teams in Seoul and another in Taugu, I believe.

Ken asks…

Cheap hotels in Japan?

I’m traveling to Japan in the future and need really cheap hotels (US$ 50 or less) but is 25 square metres (161.458656 sq feet). Any recommendations? I want hotels in famous cities of Japan like Tokyo, Kyoto, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka etc. Thanks a lot in advance for those of you answering this question thoroughly and give me great answers :D

admin answers:

There are cheaper hotels, though not many self-proclaimed experts even know about them. Two famous
discount chains are:

http://www.toyoko-inn.com/eng/

and

http://www.superhoteljapan.com/en/

and they are all across Japan – but even then, you’d probably have to pick a place in the suburbs for a lower charge like 5000 yen/night. Plus you may have to be more realistic about the room size – 11-12 square meters is more like it. And there are cheaper places still, many in Tokyo in fact, and while the rooms are spartan they are clean and decent. Have a look at

David asks…

admin answers:

Yes, it is cheaper than Singapore.

Products exported out of Japan tend to be costly due to tariffs.

Laura asks…

Can i travel to japan if i have a warrant for a traffic violation?

I have a warrant for a traffic violation will this be a problem when i make a trip to japan? What can i do if it is a problem?

admin answers:

I would take care of that before trying to leave the country if I were you. Otherwise they might hold you when you try to re-enter the country. That can’t be a nice way to end a trip.

Daniel asks…

Why are there relatively few people who are going to travel Japan? Tell me reasons you don’t choose Japan.?

I traveled more than 15 countries and found that Japan is one of the most attractive country in the world. There are many place to visit, food is delicious, nature is beautiful, and people are kind. However, number of travelers who visit Japan is relatively small. I wonder why this gonna happen.

admin answers:

I think there are a lot of visitors to Japan. The yokoso program is very active (though more in Japan than overseas…don’t ever remember seeing them overseas). There are some things that keep people away though (things I’ve encountered myself, or while trying to convince people to come visit me).
- concerns about communication (English…I’ve travelled around Asia as well, and it is definately more difficult to speak to someone in English) and getting lost
- cost, Japan has a reputation for being very expensive
- slightly xenophobic attitude (my friend who did come was pointed at before he even left the airport by a child, and he was stopped by the police while he was sitting in my car…this is considered racial profiling)
- some people are still put off by what they see as lip-service regarding Japan’s role in WWII (media attention on text books, right wing parties, Yasukuni Shrine and museum, comfort women…)
- policies like fingerprinting everyone (this can be seen as degrading and treating everyone like criminals…as a friend pointed out, terrorist attacks in Japan have been from domestic terrorists, not foreign ones)
- environmental issues (mainly whaling)

Donald asks…

Will Virgin Galactic Spaceship one lead to intercontinental flights such as from Europe or to the US?

or (if it is ever developed) do you think it would be limited to long haul flights such as from US to Japan or Australia to Europe? Would it be economical to fly from Europe to US i just over one hour. I thought it would take more fuel than it is worth? Or, do I need to get a life?

admin answers:

It is meant for short suborbital leaps above the atmosphere, so that the passengers can see the curvature of the Earth and experience weightlessness.

It is not designed for intercontinental flights. There are plenty of ordinary jumbojets for that.
