TICKET

After I applied our visa, we booked our ticket last August 15 via Cebu Pacific.


Manila to Nagoya

Base fare of 499php, we got our ticket for a total of 6,952.32php or 3476.16php each departing from Manila to Nagoya, with 30 kilos check in baggage (shared).  




Osaka to Manila

For our return flight, we got our ticket for a total of 17,678 JPY, with basefare of 1499 JPY(no check in baggage).





WILLER BUS EXPRESS

Nagoya is our port of disembarkation, we need to travel again to reach Tokyo and Osaka. We choose to travel by higway bus via Willer Bus Express. Though Shinkansen or bullet train is the fastest way to reach prefectures in Japan, like traveling from Nagoya to Tokyo will only take 100 minutes via shinkansen and 6 hours by highway bus.  It would really save you time but shinkansen is too expensive, the regular one way fare is 10,360 JPY for non reserved seat and around 11,000 JPY for reserved seat while highway bus fare starts from 3,000 JPY, cheap right?



Of course this is a budget trip, so we choose to take the Willer Bus Express,  we didn't only save fare for transportation but also for accommodation :)

Our ticket cost:

Nagoya to Tokyo
13,680 JPY for 2 pax

Tokyo to Osaka
11,800 JPY for 2 pax




MONEY MATTERS

I exchanged my peso at Sanry's Money Changer (Robinsons Forum branch), exchange rate is 0.4290 JPY to 1 PHP.
