Just want to be sure, I've got a 90 days visa. The start time only start counting once entered Japan right? Cause there is an expiration date, which is also 3 months from the time my visa got approved also.

Hmmm... I think the date of your departure should be before the expiration date of your visa but I'm not exactly sure about this. I think if it's important for you; best to do is to call the Japan Embassy and confirm with them.

Emmm....Got a bad news....emm emm Is quite hard to confirm or not....Air Asia X flying to Japan Haneda sucess % is low.  Those Airlines flying to Haneda new International Terminal is confirm by Haneda Airport Autorities have list out already....But no Air Asia X name inside the list.

Air China >> Beijing-Capital
American Airlines  >> New York-JFK [begins January 20]
Asiana Airlines >> Seoul-Gimpo
Cathay Pacific Airways >> Hong Kong [begins 31 October]
China Eastern Airlines >> Shanghai-Hongqiao
Delta Air Lines >> Detroit [begins 30 January] & Los Angeles [begins 31 January]
EVA Air Taipei >> Songshan [begins 31 October]
Hawaiian Airlines >> Honolulu [begins 31 October]
Korean Air >> Seoul-Gimpo
MIAT Mongolian Airlines >> Ulan Bator (charter)
Shanghai Airlines >> Shanghai-Hongqiao
Singapore Airlines >> Singapore [begins 31 October]
Thai Airways >> Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi [begins 31 October]
This is the List So far......no sign of Air Asia X
*
Hmmmm... from this list there's no Malaysia airlines at all but I think there's some slot reserved for Malaysia so perhaps our "beloved" Govt still dilly dally with which airlines to confirm? But then there's already some other news about AirAsia flying to LCCT and MAS to KK from Haneda (source from Wikipedia link posted by heterosapiens above).

Cool~ rclxms.gif Now time to wait for AirAsia to announce their air ticket pricing. I hope it'll be 50% of what the current rates are going for the full-service flights. ~RM700-800 for a return tix would be nice... hehe... thumbup.gif

Thanks for the website.
But I'm still not clear on a few things.
Is a deposit required?
Second is, can I get a simcard without booking?

Another question regarding train passes.
In tokyo, how much would a regular JR train ticket cost?
Do they use something similar to a Touch and go system?

I know about the youthful 18 ticket, but what if I don't plan to travel that extensively for that few days.
Say for example from Ueno to Roppongi ? How much would an non express average ticket cost?
*
I don't think a deposit is required if you just get the SIM card without the phone.
If you don't do prior booking; you can walk to the counter at the airport direct and ask but then it's a hit and miss I guess. If they don't have stock/only with phone rental; then you're kinda stuck.

Regular JR train starts around 130 yen and each station or two you're looking at additional 20-30 yen. You can get the SUICA card at the airport as well. Read this for more info - http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2359_002.html (The Japan-Guide website has a lot of other useful information so do spend some to to read it).

Ueno to Roppongi is very near so it's only 190 yen on the Hibiya line.
Here's a good site to find out on train travels and charges - http://www.hyperdia.com/

Thank you E-jump for your reply and info. I'm really looking forward to experience the festival (matsuri is it?) with fireworks, foods and kimono/yukata.

Forgot to introduce myself, i'm kamkamparadise. people usually call me kamkam for short.

I heard from a friend that this festival date differ between region. Since i'm planning to visit tokyo (akihabara,shibuya etc), can u tell me specific date when this festival will be held?

Thank you.

The fireworks festival that you're referring to is the hanabi taikai which is held during summer (usually span from July-Aug in Tokyo). If you're coming during spring; you'll be experiencing the hanami party where people get drunk at 8am in the morning chugging down cans of beers under the sakura tree. thumbup.gif

I didn't managed to play any games (minimum 120 minutes wait and some 140 minutes).
Also, didn't go to the cosplay section cause the queue is too long and full of oji-sans with expensive cameras. tongue.gif

hi guys,

planning to stay here... 2 persons @ 3700Yen per room in 1 small room...

any advices?

http://web.mytrip.net/portal/my/jyouhou_page.main?f_no=29338
*
Location wise it's pretty okay. Not on the central of Tokyo but it's near to a train station so you won't have to walk far from the station after a tiring day.

I don't see anywhere where it says "2 persons @ 3700 yen per room" but at 2700 yen per person per room it is pretty cheap. Actually, it's cheaper than some capsule hotel so it's a decent deal.

Hi Psy,

Yes, its 2700 yen per room per person, but if you wan to add 1 more person into the same room, then have to add another 1000 yen.

More info here:- http://www.spocom.net/pc/hoteiya_e.shtml

I've read a comment from a japanese lady staying there that she doesnt dare to go out at night because the neighborhood is not so good.. izzit like Puduraya in KL?  sweat.gif
*
I've not been to that part of Tokyo before (aside from Ueno) as I'm staying on the opposite end (west side) of Tokyo.

Having said that, I believe that it's quite safe in Tokyo overall. Moreover, since you're traveling with another person, then it should be fine.

Usual common sense applies, stick to the main roads; avoid traveling late into the night (you should be back by midnight anyway as most of the trains stop by then) and just be cautious on who you approach/talk to.

which the cheapest one cost RM14++

suggestion are appreciated.

I wish it was entry visa to Japan so everyone can go Jump Plane
lol biggrin.gif

Errmmm ... is this a serious question? hmm.gif
Anyway, there are many ways to cut down on cost while traveling in JP eg. buy day-pass for buses/Tokyo Metro, skimp of food by eating at soba outlets/McD, walk the distance if you can, research into attractions that doesn't require entrance fees.

it has been bugging me, what are the chances VISA didnt get approved?
know anyone w/ experience for application got rejected?

I think it's very rare that the visa will be rejected unless there's really a good reason to reject like documents not complete, no proof of itinerary/income etc... Plus, since you've been to Japan before and went back (didn't overstay), I think it's should be no problems at all. thumbup.gif

i am leaving tokyo the next sunday evening, so wondering which sunday should i visit yoyogi park.... or basically noon or evening time?

I believe by evening there isn't much to see at the parks anymore. Yoyogi Park will be interesting from mid morning till noon time. That's when you get the crowd and the park performers as well.
