Hey everyone! I could use some advice on a travel logistics question.
I already have a roundtrip flight booked from Home Airport → Tokyo (Haneda). But now I’m thinking of ending my trip in Osaka and booking a separate one-way flight from Osaka → Tokyo on my last day to catch my international flight home.
My questions:
If I book that Osaka → Tokyo flight separately, will the airline be able to check my luggage all the way through to my international flight, or will I have to pick it up and re-check it?
Will I need to go through security and immigration again in Tokyo before my flight back to the U.S.?
How much time would you recommend leaving between the two flights to be safe?
Is this even worth it, or would taking the Shinkansen back to Tokyo be a better option?
My current route is looking like:
Day 1: Tokyo
Day 2: Tokyo
Day 3: Tokyo
Day 4: Kamakura (day trip)
Day 5: Kawaguchiko (day trip)
Day 6: Tokyo
Day 7: Nagano City (shinkansen)
Day 8: Hakuba
Day 9: Hakuba
Day 10: (back to tokyo, friend is leaving)
Day 11: Kyoto (shinkansen)
Day 12: Kyoto
Day 13: Nara
Day 14: Osaka (friends leave)
Day 15: ??
Day 16: ?? and flight home from Haneda @ 8pm
Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences, thank you!!
