Hi, my name is Dan from Toronto

I visited Tokyo last July to buy parts for S2k.

And I'll be there again, beginning of December to buy parts again.

I need some advice on traveling from Tokyo to Kobe. The best means of transportation in terms of price and comfort.

And if anyone is involved in Shipping or Automotive industry I have many questions for you~!

Oh and any holidays for beginning of December?

Cheers~

Dan

 

hmmmm...july and december?..bring your warm clothes!!

 

Hi Dan, the only way to travel is the shinkansen! anything else takes far too long.

 

Shinkansen is the bullet train right?

 

Yes it is, you can buy tickets from the Station or from a discount ticket shop but that wont save so much, what I would recommend you do before you leave the US is to be a Japan rail pass for the duration of your stay, that will enable you to unlimited travel on any trains in Japan including the bullet train. Since the cost of a ticket to Kobe is about 200 US one way it is well worth getting the pass, I think that your travel agent will help you with that. It is only available to non residents :-(

 

Kye is right. Get a rail pass and even just doing one journey from Tokyo to Kobe and back you will save much $$$$.

 

Hmmm... yea your guys were right... i went down to Osaka by Shinkasen... and it costed 14,000 Yen...

I visted J's racing thats amazing.. and some Scrap yards...

I'm staying around Ueno eki.. but the cost is very high.. any ideas on how to keep this down... i'm here for another 3nights...
