I hope you have been successful with your job search and are all settled down in Tokyo.
My family goes back 2x a year but I malas nak ikut. Japan very stressful place - too many unwritten rules.

Besides summer in Tokyo hot giler sial (or raining) and winter (while not really super cold relative to north) in old house with no insulation is madness.
On the other hand, the recent yen-yasu is much welcome.

Take care.

Oh ye, i forgot to tell....i'm still in Malaysia right now & my flght back to Japan is on 1st April.
So, if the hanami is on 31st march, maybe i can't join

Yeah yen is badly dropping since earlier this year. It's great for Malaysian travelers but terrible for me as I still send back some money back home
Tokyo's summer is worse than KL I agree. It's too humid I sometimes feel like dumping myself in bath tub for the whole day!

hi all, i would like to ask.. is end of march (particularly 27mar) a good time to go mount fuji for a day tour? is mount fuji visible on that day or blur? hope somebody in this forum will answer thanks

Do you mean you want to go hike Mt. Fuji? Or you just want to go somewhere near there to have a nice view of Mt. Fuji?
Sorry but can't answer whether it will be visible or not on 27. Need to wait at least 20 march for 1 week weather forecast

I have 40k yen unused n now it worth a puny =___= back when i changed it, it was close to 3.95 =__=.
oh well, if i have a sudden urge to go jp, i do have yen in wallet at least www

I wanted to do a one day trip on that day... big possibility to take the tour bus for Yokoso Japan.. for YEN 9500
however, I went to matta yesterday they said all depends on my luck  and I check on the weather which has live view at Mt Fuji.... it was cloudy... 
So if I take the tour bus, but I cant see mt fuji.. I cant see any point going up for 2 hrs..

hello, i am a student, age 22, using own savings to go tokyo. is it hard to get visa? should i buy ticket first or apply the visa first. need some advise. thanks

Hi,

its not that hard to get visa, you need to fill up some forms from the japanese embassy in KL's website. Your bank account/ FD must have about RM6000, you will need to print statement and attach them together with the forms and passport to submit for the visa. It will be ready in 3 days time of submission but they have only certain time to collect your visa so don't do this last minute. You can buy your tickets first if you meet their requirements, i think its a strong case if you purchase return tickets. The Japanese welcome tourism so visa should be no problem.

you got too many scandals la tan sri hahaha
passport renewal takes less than 3 hrs nowadays if im not mistaken.. book your flight and come join hanami!
not really ketua but i'm just helping out to plan hanami gathering this year
