i read the visa application was eased, but do we still need to apply? can't seem to find news article saying otherwise

edit- found it:

"The visa issuance rules could be eased as early as July, NHK said."

hopefully will happen sooner rather than later.

As far as I know, Malaysia has never needed a visa since a few years ago.

However, it is still recommended to get a visa since whether or not you're allowed to enter Japan is up to the immigration officers.

My advice is still to get a visa. It's a better alternative to going there without one and getting deported.

Guys is there any reasonable price hotel near haneda to spend the night as I will be arriving around 11PM?

http://www.first-cabin.jp.e.jr.hp.transer.com/cabin/ that's about the cheapest one at haneda airport, but not cheap considering it's little better than a capsule hotel.

check these for list of hotels: http://www.booking.com or http://www.agoda.com

the last monorail out to tokyo station is at 12.10am http://world.jorudan.co.jp/norikae/cgi-bin...in.cgi#L_Kekka3

AA flights to haneda usually arrive earlier than 11pm, but it's the immigration and baggage that'll make u wait.

Thanks for the info. I have just book a business class cabin, since its cheaper that the hotel outside.
