I live in Penang but study in Shah Alam, therefore I have to apply visa in KL..this is so troublesome, why don't just let me apply in Penang because right now is holiday and I'm doing internship in Penang. One more thing, do they required official confirmation status from university stating that I'm a student in KL embassy?

Not very sure about the confirmation status from the Uni.

However, you DON"T need to get it done yourself. You could appoint a travel agent to do it for you. The travel agent will be able to advise you further on the requirement for students travelling to Japan.

As even if you sending the application to the embassy yourself, you still need to wait 3 days for it to be approved.

Hi Guys,

Need some help on travelling to Japan. I am travelling to Haneda on AA this 28th and the flight was delayed as per AA notice recently. It is scheduled to only arrive at Haneda at 2230. As I understand the trains would be closed and not sure if I can make it out of the customs in time for the Airport limo bus which is the last one at 2310.

Would like to ask if there are any other ways out of Haneda to Tokyo apart from the taxi as I know it is very expensive for Taxi service in Japan. I will be staying at Shinjuku Washington which is on the Airport limo bus route but with AA screwing up my schedule I am now not too sure of how to get there.

Some help from experienced travellers would be appreciated.....

Yea my flight also got delayed from 8.30 to 10.30pm.

I've checked and Tokyo Monorail's last train out is 12.15am so hopefully can make it.

Thanks for the reply but dun think its possible as I am travelling in a group of 4. Checked from some of my other friends who have been to Japan and they were saying that the cab cost is about 2-3 times what I would spend for the bus....

Use this website:

http://www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae/

But u must know which train station u depart from and arriving at.

Pricing included. If there is a down arrow it means the fare stated above it is inclusive.

I reckon your friend said from taxi cost from Narita not from Haneda. If you're traveling alone yes its gonna cost 4 times more but four of you all together its going to be the same as limo bus ride. The price is within JPY8000~9000 (depends on which taxi company) and the price is fixed. Limo bust would cost you JPY2000 per person.

You can refer here and here

hi Nasizwan

based on the chart the taxi fare to Shinjuku would be about JPY 6,000- 8,000 whereas the airport bus limo is at JPY 1200 per adult and JPY 600 for child..Anyway am trying to make a comparison on all options now. Thanks for the assist and link. Very much helpful.

From my understanding, any travel agents can do Japan visa for you with a service charge.
