Japan 2012 (Sep)

Ok, 5th trip coming up. This time I'll be going on my own since the hubby isn't going.

My main reason for this trip is because I just couldn't resist the One Piece Grand Arena Tour 2012 event which will be held in Fukui over the last 2 weekends of Sep (http://opga.jp/) .

Itinerary:
Day 1: Board AirAsia flight from Singapore to KL, then KL to Osaka (Part 1)
Day 2: Arrival at Osaka Kansai Airport in the morning. Explore Den Den Town in Osaka. (Part 1)
Day 3: Day trip to Okayama and Himeji (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 4: Day trip to Wakayama, then to Kyoto (Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3)
Day 5: Day trip to One Piece Grand Arena Tour event at Sabae in Fukui (Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3)
Day 6: Kyoto (Typhoon day) (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 7: Explore Arashiyama, then proceed to Kobe. Stay at a capsule hotel (Part 1 Kyoto / Part 2 Kobe)
Day 8: Kobe to Osaka (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 9: Day trip to Nara (Part 1 / Part 2)
Day 10: Osaka (Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3)
