@gt12 said in Japan RWC2019 - Tickets and Info:
Budget dependent, I'm a big fan of Shinjuku, but for train access to the Yokohama games plus main sites, Shibuya is a good option (anywhere on the Toyoko line is good for this). You can go as far up as Ikebukuro as the Fukutoshin lines runs through there.
I'd also be tempted to stay in Yokohama and catch the Shinkansen one stop to Shin Yokohama - definitely one for people with the rail pass (but you'd need to be doing other traveling to make that worth while).
Also, staying in Yokohama is nice - look in the Minato Mirai area.
In Yokohama for semi's. Get in late on Friday at Haneda. Then heading to Tokyo on Monday.
Shinjuku looks a good option and plenty to do round there, but will head to Palace gardens at some stage and maybe train to Kanazawa. Point being need to take get a grip on transport around the City. Assuming trains?
Have you sorted @canefan ?

Buy a JR pass online before you leave for Japan. You validate it at the airport when you arrive. Depending on the trip duration and the pass type you should get one or both trips from airport to Tokyo inclusive, plus any inter city travel as well. The tokyo train system is unusual, the city is covered by 3 overlapping networks; JR, the metro underground, and a third private company. You can get most places on the JR network and pay per trip on the others

Looks good!
Yeah, you’ll be training about - and it might be in your interest to get the rail pass, depending on how many places out of town you’ll go to.

Probably only one excursion?

If you are definitely going to Kanazawa, then the 7 day pass is probably worth it (about 12000 yen one way I think) as you can use it to get around on JR trains. Having said that, it’s probably not much difference.

@canefan as against the convenience point I was at Tokyo station on Monday and there was a two hour queue to pick up your JR pass. I’d have paid big bucks to avoid that nightmare

Price internal flights, you'd be surprised how much cheaper they can be.

I'm barely leaving Tokyo, I got advice from the NZ agents for JR. He said I was better off getting a suica card at the airport, so that's what I'm going to do

Agree with that advice. If you're basically staying in Tokyo then a JR pass is a gigantic waste of money.

Anybody know of tickets available for ABs semi (whispers it...) and Final?
Official website lists Cat A tickets available for semi, but when I try to add just 1 to “basket”... it claims I've asked for more than what's available.
Presumably resale tickets have to be the entire set of tickets the original holder had? -

@canefan Yeah, they're available on the official site, it just won't let me buy any of them.
Maybe I should get a short contract working for World Rugby IT department... give true credence to the “NZ overly influences World Rugby conspiracies”.@Kruse said in Japan RWC2019 - Tickets and Info:

I have a mate in our party who has had to pull the pin at the last minute due to a bereavement. He is looking at his options, so we may have a spare ticket to the NZ SF
