Further prep q
Need to get an e-Visa:
JAPAN eVISA
Any tips or traps? (I'm a bit paranoid after applying for Chile, USA and Indonesia recently!!)
Getting from NGO airport station (flight arrives 9am on a Friday) to Nagoya city station, in order to catch the shinkansen to Shin-Osaka (where I'm staying nearby) Rome-2-Rio says I should catch Meitetsu Railways Limited Express to Meitetsu Nagoya station, then walk across to the shinkansen departure area. Does that sound right? Would I just buy the tickets as I arrive at the respective stations, or can I buy the complete journey to Shin-Osaka at NGO? <Decided above its not worth getting a pass>
I've noted
@Seat0B 's advice above about having to buy luggage type tickets if I have >160cm of luggage and the nature of Shin-Osaka. I'll be taking a carry-on and a computer bag. Separate, they measure >160cm but Ill just strap them together to form one.
Petrol around Hokkaido - do I pump it myself (and perhaps have to pre-pay?) or are there usually attendants? Credit cards usually accepted?
I was going to ask about the nature of the toll roads but I'm pretty sure I'm getting a toll pass with my Toyota hire car. Oh, must remember to renew my int Drivers Licence.
