Apply Visa you need RM6k minimum in Bank...Per head...so 2 person at lease you got RM12k.......can slowly slowly plan.

Since you going Osaka then visit Kobe and Kyoto is MUST!!  Plan going to Tokyo too?  If not going Tokyo 6 day visit Osaka + Kobe + Kyoto are very enough

thanks for the advise..

Budget of Rm5k for 2 person mean RM2.5k per person? This is not enough to get to Tokyo for 6 days and you are going to miss a lot of nice attraction in OSaka, Kyoto and Kobe as well.

Per person, food will cost min RM100 per day (depends on what you eat but this is on budget level) and accomodation will cost abt RM100-150 per day (hosetl type). You can save more by staying at dorm if you don't mind sharing rooms with strangers (if you are lucky you can have the whole room to yourself).

Also, bear in mind that early of May is super "hot"month for travelling in Japan as there are lots of holidays and locals are making trip everywhere in Japan. Hotspot will be Kyoto and Osaka. So everything will be super expensive (including hotels and need advance bookings).

actually hotel i already book for 2 is rm1k for 6 day.
then 2k for each person not enough?
food rm100*6=RM600
RM1400 not enough ar to sightseeing?
hmm..i think have to increase my limit liao... hmm.gif

Why must be Shinjuku area? Actually it's cheaper to stay in Shitamachi area, and with the efficient public transport, you get around quite easily.
Not including flight tix? I would say doable; strictly no shopping, no restaurant, live from konbini, walk more laugh.gif Like Regentcid mentioned, maximize your schedule by traveling to nearby Kobe, Nara, Kyoto.

so cham ya...hmm need to increase my budget liao.. hmm.gif

chris0709 Why so worry?

Go Japan each head minimum bank statement need RM6k for get Visa...you now got 2 person going....Minimum you two already have RM12k in Bank already. Within this RM12k you just want to spent Rm5k.  don't forget you still got RM7k backup you if anything happen.

2nd is I travel to Japan more than 12 times and traveling around the world already 15 Years.  Every time before go traveling i also liek you...plan this plan that...limit self only can used this much.  I can tell you this all won't work!!!  Sure will over budget than what you expecting.  Japan is too much surprises thing make you spent. 

Now you set RM5k for 2 person....i can tell you after 6 day in Japan ....you sure will spent RM6-7k....Hahahaha

6k for visa..should be 10k per person right?

Kansai Airport very big......finding it without doing homework will waste few hour....then you have less few hour to spent in Japan.
Depent on you....... You want extra waste another few thousand yen....BTW if you don't want to buy Kansai Pass at Kansia Airport....You have to find on Kansai area big train station only.
*
I don get it by waste few thousand yen..
because i already purchase my kansai 4 day pass for my day two to day five trip.
If i using my 4 days pass at the first day where i arrive at Kansai is totally not worth it .
Because i arrive there at 10.30pm so with train to hotel already 11.30pm (Something like that) then left 1/2 and hour for the day one pass.. (If the pass is count as the time when you purchase)
Do you think is worth it??? hmm.gif
That is the reason i purchase normal JR's rapid trains (kaisoku) ticket towards Tennoji Station.
Correct me if i am wrong..
TQ
