If you're going in April and the passport's expiring in june, if you don't renew it, i dun think the embassy will approve your visa.

Yah, travel period must be >6 months from expiry. Applies to other countries also

Hi,

To get iphone data only sim card in Japan.
Is it better to rent the sim card in Japan or buy a visitor sim before going to Japan?

Wasabi Kit Kat?

Anyone went yoshino for sakura festival before
Read that, Kintetsu train will be very crowded during the festival, and sometimes need to even reserve for kintetsu limited express

Check Hyperdia
Oneway reserve fee cost 2,480yens, so one person = 5000yen

While Kintetsu rail pass cost only 3700yen per person, but the pass offer 3 limited express ticket, so it's cheaper?
Do my calculation correct? or the rail pass holder need to pay extra somemore?

Latest news,

Kansai region and Chubu area such as Gifu, Nagoya, etc etc . Sakura season start and est ends at early of April.

I'm not sure about sim. But in my case, I rent pocket wifi from GAC, 10 days for 6600yen with the speed of 48mbps unlimited.
I have 2 iPhones and 2 iPads to connect.. so it's actually kinda good deal.

i will get a Bmobile visitor sim card for my nexus7.. =/ may need lots of google map during the tour

anyone stay in Toyoko inn Haneda no.1 before, i couldn't find anyway to contacting the hotel except making a call =/ need to inform them that i have parcel sending to the hotel

according to the forecast here, most of sakura in kyoto haven bloom yet ... but soon on 25th march, will check few days later to see if it's correct. Haha.. just hope the forecast is inaccurate.

Worst come to worst, still have other alternatives like going to mt yoshino or mint osaka which according to the forecast, start bloom late.

LoL. I just back from Kansai 3 days ago. The Philoseher path already full of sakura bloom. Japanese already starting packing for picnic .

My friend had the same issue. Freelancer. He just went to apply on Friday, got no money in bank at all, because he withdrawn out to exchange yen already, before getting the statement. He could only give his fix deposit which is only RM10k. Now only hope for luck.. ='(
The person said if no one call him on Monday, then he can collect it on Tuesday.

Saw in Youtube people is still wearing jacket and long pants during hanami =/ wonder if only wear skirt/legging, will it too little?
