En route to Japan

I would highly recommend that you check the prices for Aeroflot’s Tokyo flight with transfer in Moscow. The flight takes approximately 14 hours. It’s cheaper than half the price of transit flights. Drinks are served half an hour before and after meals so you can’t drink anything while eating but despite that, the service is pretty good.

If you plan to visit a few cities in Japan that you should definitely buy a “Japan Rail Pass”. You may buy it directly from the agency behind Nova Baran plaza in Sisli or have it sent to your address. After taking the necessary document, you take it to their offices in Tokyo airport, fill out a form, and you obtain the card that will be your best from during your travel.

The card is immediately put to use on the way to central Tokyo from the airport. We used this card while traveling in four cities including Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. Besides, when you’re in Japan, you just have to get on their famous train, Shinkansen. You can use the card unlimited times in all these trains.

Shinkansen Fast Train

Besides interurban trains, we had use for the card for some trains in the city, as well. We couldn’t use it on our way back because our Jr Pass was for 7 days and our travel took 8. We returned with a Limo Bus with the ticket we bought from our hotel. We were able to easily reach the airport in little over an hour with the bus whose ticket cost 3100 yens.
