Anyone driving from Osaka to Tokyo in Oct.?

Hi,

It'll be my first time to travel to Japan. I'm staying in Osaka for maybe 8-9 days and plan to spend few days (maybe 5) in Tokyo. As I'm on a tight budget, what will be the best itinerary (places to visit, things to do, etc.), also cheap transpo from Osaka to Tokyo? Would be good to know also if there's some good people here who have plans to drive to Tokyo first week of Oct. How common is it to hitch hike in Japan? Cheers!

If you have a tight budget, overnight bus would be a common option for Osaka - Tokyo.

People usually do not drive from city to city. Driving is to enter the country side or even more rural areas like the mountains.
In Japan, the main mode of transport is the train.
The cheaper option to that is the bus. Overnight buses are best as they save on a night's accommodation.

Are you flying out of Tokyo or out of Osaka?
This makes a difference.

Why do you plan to spend 5 days in Tokyo? If you already have something you want to do to spend 5 days there, you need to inform so others can better help you.

Japan has tons to do. BUT what do YOU like to do?
