Thank you so much for your info and advices.. maybe consider just kyoto and tokyo... :| just go for 2 places, Kyoto and Tokyo are good choice... Tips for moving around kyoto, bus is a better choice than JR and subway.. get a 500yen 1 day pass for unlimited bus ride (winthin kyoto city).. this is the best value for $$ transportation in Japan... http://www.kyotoguide.com/ver2/useful/useful-trans.htm Where as in tokyo, JR and subway are more convinient... |

Usually whats the price of cheap AA ticket to Osaka? All the price I check is still above RM1K
 Do I need to go Japanese Embassy in KL to apply for visa? I understand that I can do it online but do I need to go embassy to finalise it. |

Are you sure you can do online? In any case, I'd think you still need to go twice to embassy, no? Once to give documents and once to pick up passport. It's fast and efficient one, both times you go, it's like 15 minutes wait only. |

Last 2 months I went it was 10~15mins like you said. Holy crap market rate YEN to MYR is currently 4.183. I bet currency exchange store sells at 4.2x  This will be a pain in the butt |
