TAR 20 Contestant Speculation and Spoilers
apskip:
Could the Osaka sighting be decoys to throw spectators off the scent of the F3 teams heading for Honolulu most likely from Narita if flight arrival correlations with spottings in Honolulu are accurate?

Well, there is a pitstop picture with Phil. Don't know if they would go that far for a decoy?

LucyBell,
How do you get teams to Honolulu in time? There is a way, but I doubt that World Race Productions used it. The famous Shinkansen bullet train from Osaka connecting in either Shinagawa or Tokyo and on to Narita could get teams there in time. The 3 flights that arrive Honolulu in time depart Narita in the evening. The total train time Osaka to Narita at minimum is 3.5 to 4 hours, so there would be ample time to get there IF F3 teams were released from a pit stop in Osaka no later than early afternoon December 19. Waiting at Kansai Airport Osaka for flights from there does not fit the available information.

apskip, don't shoot the messenger! I am just telling you what I saw in the pictures that are posted in sightings! If teams were running decoy in Japan to throw people off the final 3 heading to Honolulu, why would they go so far as to set up a pitstop with Phil and the whole 9 yards? Obviously they would have had to get Phil to Honolulu to do his stand up's etc. so why couldn't they get the F3 teams there as well?

apskip, why wouldn't TPTB use the bullet train if it made their planned route work? It's not like the show hasn't used the bullet train in Japan before, and there's nothing that disqualifies it from being used.
