Dear Japan,

I will kill you and everyone you've ever loved.

Sincerely,
- The person reading up on your railway lines



Seriously, is it that complicated to get from Kansai Airport to Shinsaibashi/Yotsubashi station? Apparently yes. *kicks JR pass in the ass*

I got my passport yesterday, which momentarily took my mind off the horrific prospect of starting Uni. Don't get me wrong, Market Day was lots of fun, but for some reason a faggoty hippy subject like Arts requires more brainpower to organise than something like a Bachelor of Journalism or Science or whatever... at least those degrees pertain to specific fields and thus there are certain subjects you have to do. With Arts there's several dozen courses you can choose to major in and it's a lot more broad... no-one can tell you which courses to do, you just pick some at random and hope that you're doing what's required. ... I think I need to pay a visit to Student Services -_-

Thanks for the link, I have been looking at that site (though it seems to discount the shinkansen which made it a little hard to figure out how to get to Tokyo.)

I shall research the Midosuji line, that loop thing sounds like it requires less use of the ol' brainparts.

Thank God for subtitles.

Hyperdia shouldn't leave the shink out... it's what I always use when figuring out which shink to catch to Tokyo from Kyoto. I know it screws around the prices though. When you ride the shinkansen, you actually need two tickets (which you buy together): a fare ticket, and a reserve ticket (even if you're travelling non-reserve). I honestly don't know WHY they split the price up and make you buy two tickets, when you will always need both of them together, but Hyperdia lists them separately for some reason. It should give the combined price at the top though.

Since you're using a JR pass, I'm not sure if you're allowed to use the Nozomi (now the 2nd fastest shink, thanks to whatever that new one is) so the Hikari takes a bit longer, but shouldn't be more than 4 hours from Osaka.
