PERSIAPAN BACKPACKER KE JEPANG DI MUSIM SEMI TANPA JR PASS | PART 1
japanese time!!!
The next dream destination for me and my friends after South Korea is backpacking in Japan. Japanese seed season with a beautiful cherry tree, wow, just imagine, her eyes sparkle. However, the breeding season in Japan is often expensive. Also, the cost of living in Japan is expensive on its own, especially with the JR Pass as a travel card.
But do I need to buy a JAR pass? Can I pack to Japan without the JR pass, which is a bit more expensive according to my average budget? In fact, you can travel to Japan without a JR pass in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka . So, from this blog, I am planning to travel to Japan, which is within my fancy budget . I'm not saying that going to Japan is cheap because it's not cheap, hehe. But the best savings I can make right now is this.
1. Flights and baggage
As usual, my travel plans always start with the purchase of airline tickets. All plane tickets are the key to my travel destination , without a ticket I am saving money, a man is looking for travel destinations, etc. At the end of last year, he had some doubts about whether he would return to South Korea or Japan. . From September 2017 to a quiet morning, my friend from Jakarta, Utin Chat, was giving me the shocking news of my day. The content is clear
“ANA flight ticket, Jakarta-Haneda live, IDR 4.5 million per person. Everything you know in a show at the Tanger Angregre mall"
Wow, for a full service airline like ANA, that's cheap. I can only get the gems in Bali because there is no direct mail from Denpasar Haneda and it is cheap. Also, at 14:00, my friends Utin and Ari immediately booked tickets for Haneda from April 8 to April 16, 2018 . Wow, I'm angry. LOL
At the same time, Air Asia promoted and promoted Air Asia Denpasar-Narita live tickets . I was already interested in buying it, because at that time they confirmed the exact price of a ticket to Japan, which is 2 million rupees. But I couldn't wait to book Air Asia tickets because I thought going to Japan would be a long flight and I thought there would be a Garda Indonesia travel show at the end of September. Yes, I'm a cheap traveler, but if it's convenient and cheap, why not?
A few days later, Yek Bali's friend Bali-Haneda PP received information about the sale price of Garda Indonesia Bali travel tickets starting at IDR 5.8 million . Probably the reason they don't work as well. But I don't wait until 5 million, you know. From the old GATF in Rp. It was about 4.3 million, so I turned around and finally the Air Asia Free Seats promotion for fighters, thank God, it's not over yet.
Many ad slots sold out in just a few days!
Yayalah.. hehe
So after we were still embarrassed to be with the Jakarta team, the price was still cheap, and finally me and my Bali team took a direct flight from Denpasar, April 10-18, 2018, Narita , with a total of 2 days difference, nothing. How much could it cost? Here is the prescription. For luggage , I ordered closer to the departure date, because the price of luggage is stable, it doesn't come and go like a plane ticket.
Denpassar - Narita 10-18 April 2018 Rs 2,582,377
Baggage 20kg IDR 390,000
30 kg return bag IDR 560,000
-------------
Total IDR 3,532,377
What? The difference is 2 million per garada since the difference of 2 million can be used to sleep in Japan. And Alhamdulillah, this is how I got the real ticket price from the Japanese PP. Unfortunately, the direct route from Indonesia to Japan is closed. If I'm not mistaken in Bali last January 2019 . Unfortunately, even though the flight time is full, there are fewer and fewer cheap options from Bali to Japan. T_T
Total to Japan 6. 2 people from Jakarta, 4 people from Bali. Yes, it was fun!!

2. Japanese visa
Since I wrote about this earlier, I will not discuss whether to make a passport or add one. For those who want to read the passport experience online , you can follow the link. Since I was living in Jakarta at the time, my first passport was issued by West Jakarta Canine. At the time I was handling my Bali passport. It can be read here .
Unlike the Korean visa, you must go to Jakarta or through a travel agency. A Japanese visa can be obtained directly from the Embassy of Japan in Bali . So you don't have to worry about using an agent or going directly to Jakarta. It is not very difficult to study a Japanese visa from Bali, it is not very expensive.
When I was there, the cost of getting a Balinese visa in Japan was self-supporting . The Consulate General of Japan in Bali is based in Reno, across from Jangan Park . Come in the morning, open at 07:30, with a full set of requirements. Afterwards, the ace and cell phone must be left in the locker, only files and bags should be brought. So you can't take photos inside.
The requirements for a Japanese Bali visa are not as complicated as for a South Korean visa. But yes, you still need to fill it out and take account balance into account. For those who are confused, how much balance can be estimated, depending on Japan, this is just a jackknife. For example, 1.5-2 jute is needed for 1 day, so if you go to Japan for 5 days, multiply it by 7.5 - 10 million and the round trip tickets will reach 5 million. Thus, savings are around 15 million per person. But this is not an exact number. Because accounts with less than 10 million content can also happen.
The following requirements to obtain a Japanese visa (single entry):
1. Original passport
2. Visa application form + 1 application form from the last 3 months White background 4.5 x 4.5 placed on the form
3. Work Certificate or SIUP (for employers), original and copy
4. Cash receipt (settlement account), original and copy
5. QC and KTP, according to copy
6. Print PP tickets
7. Japan tour program (Japan backpacking tour plan)
Note: A4 size paper
3. Japan tour
Since this is your first time in Japan, you will definitely want to travel from Japan to all the popular travel destinations, but your vacation is limited. Ehh, let's say I had 7 days in Japan to explore the big cities of Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo. Finally, after months and hours of planning a packed trip to Japan, here is my final destination in Japan (Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo).
This is what Étienne understood in Japan. Many missed the essence of this song due to lack of time. They like to forget about the time when shopping and photographing. Are you sure?

4. Japanese transport
So at first we were confused whether to buy the JR pass or not; Based on what I read , if you only go to 3 big cities, Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, you can do it without buying it. JR Pass TV wants to expand its presence . So the best and cheapest option is a wheeled bus to the most distant cities. There are wheeled buses for day and night buses, but to save time, we choose night buses because the distance from Tokyo to Osaka is about 8-9 hours.
The buses are good, clean, air-conditioned and very quiet. There are masks, hats, and for those who often return to the bathroom, the bus always stops to get to the bathroom. Therefore, the Wheeler Bus is our transit point and destination for Tokyo-Osaka and Kyoto-Tokyo trips. It is better to order online, you can order 3 months before departure , payment is possible by credit card. Here are the wheelchair bus tickets we purchased. The price is not cheap, but well, starting at 400,000 yen, depending on the price.
Wheeler bus Tokyo - Osaka Rapi. 620,000 (4,729 yen)
Wheeler Kyoto - Tokyo Rapi bus. 798,000 (6,000 yen)
In fact, wheelchair bus tickets are cheaper on weekends, so buy cheap tickets in advance.
For Osaka, we'll try the Shinkonson in Kyoto, so here's how to take the Japanese bullet train to Japan. Soon from Osaka to Kyoto, only 15 minutes in Shiningen. The train is clean and smooth and the 15 minute ride doesn't feel rushed. Ehh, let's just say the tickets were bought direct, at one point we were helped by very nice people who wanted to order and help with tickets for Shinkinson through the machine. If you are confused, you can order through the box office. Unfortunately, his father helped him by pressing the keys and he bought a NOZOMI Shinkansen ticket ! Very expensive chip!! It costs 3020 yen . The token, based on the current yen exchange rate, was 400,000 IDR cyuuuk!!
* Draws by T_T value
Yes, according to the Japanese father, the price is probably normal. But for the budget traveler, like a wallet, Osaka - Kyoto is only 15 minutes away (?!), worth 400,000, so far. But don't worry, you can search for other shinkans, there are 150,000 scrolls. I googled the schedule and prices before ordering.
Continuing to Kawaguchiko and Gotenbu , we decided to take the bus online 2 months before we left. At this point, we take the bus from Shinjuku to Kaaguchiko via the following highway buses . Travel time is approximately 2.5 hours. In the meantime, book the Kaaguitico Bus to Gotamba from the following link: Japan Bus Travel Online takes about 45 minutes - 1 hour. Book the Gotenba to Shinjuku bus at the following link: Kusoku Bus , 2-2.5 hour knife ride. It may seem complicated, there are many links, you don't have to use the same bus, try Google and adjust it to your trip, because the booked bus has a departure time. So if you missed it, hi lol
Bus from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko IDR 231,000 (1,750 yen)
IDR 217,500 (Yen 1,600) from Kawaguchiko to Gotamba Bus.
Bus from Gotemba to Shinjuku IDR 211,141 (1,650 yen)
If we trust the subway line, JAR line, Tubaki , etc. for daily use, we only trust our dear Suika. It's expensive, although it may not be expensive, you know, I bought a suuka and recharged it for a total of 9,000 yen , which is worth more than 1 million rupees.
Advice:
Do not add too much immediately after filling Suica/Pasmo. I usually have a charge of 3,000 yen. My friend's event was bought by a Swiss and immediately filled 10,000 yen, then card 1 was used and disappeared. In fact, you can choose a card that uses the name, so if no one is there, we can ask for a card change and the friend will not disappear. But then we bought a standard card. T_T
Welcome to Kyoto . Buy it from the bus driver , bus fare in Kyoto is 600 yen, use as many as you like within 24 hours . If you don't buy it, the bus will cost you around 300 yen each way, so it's worth it. And the bus is the most convenient transportation from Kyoto because the bus stop is next to a tourist attraction that wrecks the train.
We rely on Google search and Google maps for routes and vehicles. Its end !! What to follow, where, how many hours, how long and how much does it cost. Search results are carried over to the next train until the train times out. Damn. So you don't have to worry about the train coming home, I don't get it. Are you sure?
So the story about JR Passage Part 1 in this blog is enough to backpack Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto) in the spring. Part 2 continues on Japan, the Internet, kimono rental , etc. Make sure you stop. Hopefully Danny's story is very cheap and can serve as a guide to friends who want to go to Japan, but it is not cheap. Are you sure?
See you in the next post.
