Got, inside the tv one. lol.. But there is nude doll, virgina, xxxxx... obps! not suppose to mention it.

the first 2 floors are open for all, when you try to go up to third floor, you will see some notice on the floor and above your head saying ladies are not permitted to enter.

I would say no. Their prices are standard one, wherever you go, their price is the same. Based on my experience, for your case Hakone item, I saw a box of biscuit selling 1050 yen at Yumoto, then when i reach hakone-machi, owakudani, odawara, or even tokyo shinjuku, asakusa and tokyo skytree, price is same.
The only 1 place where their price is cheaper about 100 yen is at Kansai Airport's waiting hall.
For souvenirs i suggest you buy at Harajuku's Takeshi-dori or Asakusa's Nakamise-dori and since you go Ueno, Ameyoko as well.
You also can buy a small vibrator for only 500yen at Akihabara for your friend.

for guys lo.. It's Jepun, fren. It is so common in Japan. Only our local ppl here are shine to enter those adult toy shop and it's expensive!

oh.. I see. I think yes, the one I mentioned is well-packed one and good looking. If you buying biscuit/cake as souvenir, pls check the expiry date, it's short.

At Disney, i ate the Burger set (similar to McChicken), 750yen only.

I queue 30mins only on a weekday. I went at evening, so I can enjoy evening sunset view n night view. If you dun care the fare, go galleria, tempo deck is very crowded, especially during night. If it is full, try to wait behind Japanese ppl, dun queue behind china tourist, they will Base there for long time, no courtesy at all.
Or you may go down one level, view point also, with testing area and table.

haha.. cannot. Galleria ticket only available at tempo deck and you have to buy from there.
Try to go around 1 and half hour before sunset as u need time to queue. Actually, if u wan to take nice pic, bring a small tripod/monopod, dun worry the staffs there are very busy and they wont see u when crowded.

Actually, if you have 2d1n, both ways are fine. Maybe you should google the hotel first then make you decision. If you stay at Lake kawaguchiko, omg, excellent view of Mt Fuji from your room and onsen room. One of the decent hotel is Tominoko Hotel, or you may choose other hotel around that area. You can also take cable car to Mt Tenjo to have a clear view of mt fuji.
If you go Fuji first, then be sure you start your next day journey early as you need 2-3 hours to Gora by Bus. If you go back to shinjuku after fuji, dont bring too much baggage. You can leave it at your hotel if you extend your stay with them after you come back from fuji.
If you go on weekday, should be ok as there will be less tourist, so you can place your baggage next to your seat. Weekend, no.

yes, sunset at 4 something...

Huh? after 2pm head to lake kawaguchiko already dark. My suggest is if you really want to enjoy the Fuji scene, just pick one of them. If you try to squeeze them into a tight schedule, you are troubling your goodself. Let's say u reach kawaguchi at 5pm, stay a night, next morning enjoy Fuji View, then move to Hakone. Just overnight at kawaguchiko such a waste. From there move to Hakone need 2-3 hours. Reach Hakone in the afternoon, says 1pm, then you only have 3 hour to spend before the sky turns dark.

haha.... your duration same as my past visit. Yes, it is doable. I only spent about RM4k per pax (exclude shopping)
Meal is not that expensive la.. and hotel, RM400 is quite ok. Pls buy JR Pass & SUICA for tokyo and please do consider some local day pass as supplement.

haha... i got myself a Fujisan Sake at Hakone. wrap nicely and cover with clothes, put in check in luggage. gaodim!
together with my members, we brought back 3 sake and some other Only-in-japan alcohol.

you should know better when you did more research, maybe you may consider kansai thru pass.
for kyoto, dont only depends on bus, best combine with 1 or 2 train/subway travel if possible, to save time.

your flight is to and fro Kansai? if yes, just do kansai trip lor. More to see ma...
Kyoto need more days, but it is near to osaka. So, you may choose a base. Nara, as mentioned above, a day trip will do. Kobe if you wan to see more, you can do 2 days trip. You can go Koyasan as well. Then the rest at Osaka. 9 days should covered Kansai area well if you plan well.

I see. Then u just spare some times in kansai lo. You can do Kyoto 3 full days, Nara a day trip, Osaka 1 full day plus evening time after Nara. The rest Tokyo.

Diver City got o! I bought 2 blue label there..

very cheap oh even before tax. That series I bought I couldnt find here. Ask local staff say it could be selling at Rm2.5k, but i bought at RM1.3k(after conversion). now even cheaper (about RM1k). Blue Label's BluEberry ~~

should go on late autumn, end of Nov. Tofukuji and Arashiyama is awesome!!

beware of strong wind there. if you wan to take nice photo at Odaiba seaside park, remember to bring your tripod. You'll see a lot of photographer shooting at there too, especially during sunset. The view is superb!
