Haneda is much more convenient to Tokyo…

I just wish Kansai was also on the radar for direct flights.
Jetstar only go via Cairns to Osaka, and usually you’re in transit for up to 4 hours if you connect from Sydney.
And those who know, there is pretty much f*ck all to do at Cairns international.

Yeah, I’d rather go Tokyo, then Shink it out to where ya goin!!!!!

I hate waitin around!!!!! LOL

wifeys family are from Hyogo… hence Kansai being the ultimate destination.
still, with JAL, you usually get a domestic flight thrown in, and JAL kicks arse over Crapstar & Qantas, especially the stewardesses.  kissing_heart

Nup, quite easy for us to buy realestate in Japan!!!!!

And very cheap properties can be found!!!!!

There’s even a few English realestate websites that are owned/operated but Aussies/etc, along with accomodation and other businesses!!!!!

The ATO has a reciprocal agreement in regards to income/tax on these properties in Japan as well!!!!!
