For cosplay event outings, you may need to pay and register urself as cosplayer/photographer for a special pass.
Over there, you cant simply snap models/cosers

Okonomi-yaki
Kitsune Udon
Udon-tsuki
Hakozushi
Me-oto Zenzai

I heard their street food are good and affordable.

i will be going to kyoto>kobe>osaka this coming may for a company trip.. may i know where is the best place for me to shop during evening till night in kyoto.. as i have searched.. i only got shinkyogoku and and nishiki market. I will be staying at the westin at kyoto. may someone recommend me where to shop as i will have 3 days to spend at kyoto. tq

Target of Spending?

Rosmah Level?
Rich level?
Normal Level?
Budget Level?

normal level

Not much thing to shop at kyoto...If want to Shopping better take a train to Osaka.

Kyoto ...You can focus on Shijo , Kyoto Station around ....mostly all are selling those traditional stuff.

I'm going to Tokyo this coming April 22th.

A friend of mine said that PS3 is only MYR400 there, is it true?

Another thing is, I am thinking of using credit card most of the time with hope the exchange rate will be cheaper than change money at money changer. Most shops there should able to accept credit card, right? Or is it better to topup alot of money into the suica card compared to bring cash or credit card?

Vandetta, not true. i just came back from Osaka and Kyoto. PS3 is slightly cheaper by RM100 ++. but then for region and warranty, you need to take note.

as for money changer in Osaka/Kyoto, the rates are very very bad. best to change to yen in Malaysia as first option. just my opinion

Impossible. not only for Japan but for practically everywhere you go, visa/mastercard & the bank will screw you on the credit card FX.

Give you one example the other day my colleague bought something about RM5,0000 in MY using SG credit card card, the effective rate he got was about 2.35. Reuters rate is hovering around 2.42-2.43!

April 22 until when?

Japan Golden Holiday also start at 23 Until May 6. If you plan only in Tokyo then ok...If plan travel cross City such as Tokyo to Kyoto // Osaka....I wish you luck. Nightmare just began.

22/4 until 29/4.. Tokyo only, except that my japanese friend said if want to see sakura then have to travel to the north for two hours because there's no sakura in Tokyo anymore.

Within Tokyo only then Ok. Plus you got Japanese friend bring you around...sure no problem..they sure know which part are the most jam at this momement.

OMG, i will be travelling between Osaka and Kyoto between 28 April and 30 April. Should i expect the worse?

=.=ll Have you do your Homework?

Osaka to Kyoto are like KL to Klang only....Even you take SUbway also can go from Osaka to Kyoto. Have you ever heard Subway will traffic jam? .

Volume of people taking train will be alot alot because is golden holiday.....alot people will came from Tokyo to Kyoto // Osaka. Just expecting the Subway station will alot people. If miss the 1st train due to overpack....then wait for 2nd train lor. ( PLEASE DO MIND, Japanese people are not like Malaysia KTM...EVen is alot ppl in Station waiting for Train....They still Q up. Not like Malaysia when train come all rush to the Door ) Please Q up and wait your turn into Train. You might miss 1 to 3 Train.

Osaka , Kyote , Kobe all are under one Kansai Lah.

My Prepare for the Worst are those from Kansai going to Tokyo. Regional to another Regional.
