Guys.

I hv a situation here.

Am going to Japan, 7 days trip, will be staying at Shinjuku Washington.

But then travel agent gave me an option to extend our stay to up to 15 days (till visiting Visa ends).

I'm kinda keen to, since I dunno when will I ever visit Japan again (doesn't hav the luxury to travel abroad every now and then, and even for this time it's just a winning ticket).

But the problem is, where to stay after the 7th day? Any kind soul here willing to sort of temporarily rent a room for cheap? sad.gif

Go north or southwards, if you want to.

Japan's a big country, i'm sure even few years is not enough to explore its outer beauty. smile.gif

Ok guys, serious talk here. Don't know where to post this, so i just put it here. Check out the link below:

It's about an eating concept, a different one. I am really fascinated with this concept of cultural and social eat. I wonder in Japan, does such establishment exist?

If it's in KL, im going to patronize everyday.

Then I assume you are the one who just read a bit of news and don't understand it at all, so just ignore it and enjoy your travel kind!

Speaking of radiation knowledge, no one is absolutely certain that it's exceedingly hazardous or acceptably risky to travel to the affected areas. I guess the best way is, let people make their own choices.

After all, it's their hard-earned money (and life) they are spending for the travel, not yours tongue.gif

Owh my bad, sorry for that (and also for my 'lazy to Googler' attitude).

And thanks bro for pointing things out. Would really appreciate all informations I could get.

The truth regarding my trip is that the air tickets and the stay at Shinjuku Washington are covered up. But that's only for a 5 days stay. However, due to this super-rare opportunity of me being in Japan, I prefer to extend my stay a few days just to get to know them Japaneses (a little, if not much) better. The cultures, the places, the people, and all.

As excited as I am in looking forward to this trip end of this month, I couldn't help but be bothered with the expenses. If it were not for the sponsor, I may not be able to set my foot in Japan my whole life. Am not from affluent family. Hence the option for sleeping on streets while backpacking around tongue.gif

But maybe I could try discuss with the agent in regards of downgrading. Thanks for the insights!

Don't worry. As much as Tokyo being perceived as an expensive city to live in, there are many cheap lodgings around. Check for guesthouses like K House, Khaosan or Sakura; just RM100+ per night for single room all for yourself.

Worse come to worse, go find some capsules or internet cafes like some have mentioned. Personally, i wouldn't recommend them because i'm non-smoker and can't stand 変 'noises' tongue.gif

Hi guys, anyone here applied for Japanese Visa lately?
Anyone had any problem? My family is applying for Visa, which will take 2-3 days, but i worried that price of air tickets will increase meantime. Dont know whether should i take the risk to buy the tickets now while waiting for the Visa approval.

Planned travel date is end of June.


For the budget-conscious, it's safer to get the visa first before the air tickets. Later bought ticket but visa app get rejected, hangus your money laugh.gif

QUOTE(heterosapiens @ Jun 2 2011, 10:49 PM)
IMHO, it works the other way around, since you can only do your visa within 3 months before you departure date, ticket price would be exorbitant by then in most cases, as most airlines do promotion for early purchase only nowadays.

Thing that people do not know is that, if you application got rejected without strong reason (like being blacklisted in either Malaysia or Japanese institutions such as financial, telco and etc). Then, you can always reapply unlimitedly until your visa application is approved. This would typically be true if the reason your that application was rejected was because your documents is not convincing enough (like bank statement, company letter, and etc).

Not everyone is free to visit the embassy as they wish. Plus, you need those printed statements stamped by bank officers. I would prefer to get it done on first try; i don't know some people like to sit in embassy's lobby and enjoy their aircond tongue.gif

You can apply for visa with a stated intended travel date on the application. The visa will come in force once you pass through Japan's immigration and day 1 kicks in from then. I did mine 4 months before my travel date and bought the air ticket a week after i obtained the visa.

Not necessarily everyone should use my method; it's just an advice.

Ah, why want to do things like that.

Worst come to worst if they find out, upon check out, they will charge you the extra pax and not sure if they'll blacklist your name for doing such things or not.

Shazzac, it's common courtesy to declare the number of guests in Japan. Of course, you can choose not to heed them, but i believe one should respect their culture in their homeland.

Even at some eateries, you (couples) aren't supposed to share a set meal ! One person one set ! laugh.gif
