Going there in march nxt yr? Tokyo temp during mar at 8-14c is just nice. However, down jacket is still advisable incase temp drop below 5c. I went to hakone with just sweater.. I did not expect that place will be so high till 1000m. Imagine temp dropped to 4-5c and I was shivering like hell..

You sure haven't meet those old man racist one...they dun care u from Malaysia or Taiwan or Singapore. As long u are Chinese.

Japanese very racist one.... 6 years in Japan work + study...I see until sienz already.

BTW, This new crisis also got Taiwan flag too.....

Really? hmm I haven't face those kind b4
Then Next time pretend korean

Korean lagi hate Nippon so expecting Japanese racist against Korean too. Japanese were the one destroying joseon empire and burnt down lotsa Korean past heritage including destroying lotsa buiildings inside gyeongbokgung and even building Japanese imperial building in front of the palace compound blocking the palace behind the building. They also destroyed one of the four major gates in Seoul I.e the western gate. Now only the eastern gate or dongdaemun and southern gate or namdaemun still stand. The west great gate or seodaemun already destroyed long time ago by Japanese

Do watch the latest kdrama . Bridal mast or gaksital to understand more how Japanese ptreat Korean during the colonial time

Hi guys, which is the best spot for mt fuji? Lake kawaguchiko or Lake yamanakako? or Lake Ashi will do.
Further, is hakone a must visit place since i travel for mt fuji?
FYI, im heading from Kyoto to Tokyo, will stop at hakone/kawaguchi for mt fuji then continue to Tokyo, targeting arrival in tokyo around evening time. But, after I checked the distance and time to travel, im afraid i couldnt make it within 1 day. Any idea, suggestion or experiences?

Also, anything is interesting in kobe? I'm thinking to skip this for additional 1 day at hakone & kawaguchi for mt fuji.

Tq~

Here is my simplified itinerary.

day 00 Midnight flight to osaka
day 01 osaka (arrival early in the morning)
day 02 osaka
day 03 kyoto
day 04 kyoto
day 05 mt fuji/hakone/lake kawaguchi
day 06 lake kawaguchi & tokyo
day 07 tokyo
day 08 tokyo
day 09 tokyo (to osaka at night)
day 10 morning flight to KL

appreciate comment from you all..
