Wow...never wonder there's such a lyn japan thread.

Since i'm in japan right now....shud join this thread.

Living in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Yoroshiku~

Hakone during the golden week....is it ok? Or any recommended place to relax....i don't want shopping

Dunno yet either can get room or not. Just thinking of booking hotel using booking.com

Nah, i think i don't want to go that far. Just want to stay around hakone ; relaxing and have a nice view of Mt. Fuji from Lake Ashi.

Thinking it would be a nice spot for a couple.

Is there any other places you want to recommend for such thing?

Japanese Golden Week for this year starting from 3rd May to 6th May only....not very golden this year.

I've booked my hotel in hakone using booking.com. If you want cheap one, go for ryokan (japanese style rest-house), don't go for western style hotel. There are still a number of places you can stay with a reasonable price, below 10000 yen for 1 night. For example B&B Pension Hakone, Pension Charlotte or Ryokan Masuya. Hope i help.

Owh, so it's like that. Quite don't know coz i'm just a university student, studying here. Don't know quite well about the working people. Coz i have to follow my university holiday calendar

I've just been to hakone during the golden week holiday.

Yes you can travel in reverse way....but do caution regarding the working hour.

As far as i know, most of the public transport there don't operate long enough, except for bus. Especially the cablecar, it only operates till 5 in the evening

It was AWESOME!!! But yeah, definitely there were a lot of people.

Quite troublesome when it comes to public trnsport especially when to ride the cable car all the way to togendai.
The line was soooo long. But hey....i still got the chance to stop by at owakudani to have a taste at the 黒ちゃん卵 (black egg).
& have a great 温泉 (public bath) at hakone-yumoto & at my hotel.

At hakone-yumoto, my friend guided me around there since he lived near the area.
So, he know where's the best spot for public bath with a reasonable price ; just 600￥
& having dinner at the shop...right after public bath.
It feels great!

You live here in Japan? Where are you? I'm in hadano....kind of searching new friends who live here too

Wow...you lived in shinjuku ma, for sure ur living cost there is much much much more expensive.

Sorry, i got a plan on this weekend. Gonna go to kamakura this saturday.

Yeah, i'm studying here....3rd year degree student

Any good place to recommend during this summer holiday?

Wow, another student gonna studying in Japan.
Great to find new friend. But sorry, i'm in kanto....not in kyoto.

Btw, what's ur university? Is it Ritsumeikan University? I have friends studying there now

Just ask which university you're going to enter....from there, can assume you're under which scholar.

MARA usually send to private Uni while JPA to govrnment Uni.

I'm under MARA.

I can only answer the 1st place as i never been to osaka yet. There's turkey restaurant (if i'm not mistaken) name's siddique restaurant in akihabara.
You don;t have to worry about food in Japan. There're a lot of halal food to eat here especially in turkish restaurant, indian restaurant (most indian restaurant served halal food) or you can even eat in japanese restaurant. Just order other than beef la, it's ok. If curious, you can ask either they put alcohol in it, that's enough.

*There are Malaysian restaurant here in Japan. I only know in ikebukuro & tokyo. The restaurant's name is Malay-chan.

Hey guys....i need opinions on sifu2 here.

Where is the best place to travel during this upcoming winter break? Around kantou region (i prefer near to tokyo, don't want too far away)

I prefer a natural-environment relax type of place. Does any sifu2 out there know some good places. Kind enough to share some infos?

Thanks in advance~

I have been quiet for a moment.

Hye Nasizwan, you're the ketua kg of this thread? haha...
Anyway, i'm a student & currently live in Kanagawa Prefecture.

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

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

Yeah, 9500yen is relatively expensive.
Anwyay, other than Fuji-Q Theme Park that has been suggested, i would like to suggest lake kawaguchiko (Kawaguchiko), 1 of the 5 holy lake that surround Mt. Fuji. I can guarantee you'll get a sceneric view from there, plus it's spring season right now. Will be a bunch of sakura & Mt. Fuji as background. You can visit here for Kawaguchiko : Kawaguchiko Travel Guide

Hope it helps.

Any nice island in Japan to recommend? Want to travel to island....tired of modern city, building & stuff
