i doubt you will have issues
most people know china chinese != other place chinese.
however its best to start googling just in case someone blog it out bout this issue

Just submitted my visa application just now..haha. Apparently there will be a protest at the Japan embassy regarding the islands dispute of course. Not sure who are the ones protesting.

But seems the embassy road was closed 1 hr yesterday due to protest..


I will know on Friday if visa approved or not..haha. UN reported in 1970 or 1971 nearby the island got oil or gas deposit.

I'm in Kyoto now and I don feel any stress as Chinese
Even china people don have problem I think

Luckily i back from Japan last week. The island issue is getting worst. Dont know what will happen in the future. Those China's chinese just cant let go of their past where the Japanese Occupation happens.

Well, i think most chinese that generations hate the Japs really really bad. Cant really blame them.

My boss lost more than 20 million on china side. Our company got doing biz with china tycoon. They came to Malaysia with our jets. Now the deal all cancel.

Deal cancel, there goes ur bonus for this year?

after freaking 40years then they started to rampas the island.

Haha.. One of the salegirl saw me from far in one of akihabara electronic stores and straight away wish me "Selamat Datang"

I'm in Tokyo right now. Few days ago was in osaka and kyoto, Saw a lot of china and taipei tours in 1 whole group, Never seems to be in any trouble at all, i guess?

Seeing this thread really makes me want to go to Japan all of sudden..even right now I'm on holiday from college for 3-4 weeks before the next semester starts..and I don't even have proper plan yet, but the feeling to visit Japan is way too strong...d:

Maybe someday will go to Japan with my friends..For now, I just keep visiting the thread to check any suggestion for plan trip and places to visit..So far, it helps me out a bit..Who knows, probably next week I am already in Japan due to this thread helping me a bit..d:

On the tsukiji fish market, I dont think I am capable of grabbing the limited visitor pass for the tuna auction. What else can I do over there, any stalls, apart from sushi restaurants? The market closes at noon?

buy tickets 1st, think later
thats what i always do..

but yeah, fortunately i'm already working n can afford to do some crazy shite like goin japan twice a year

putting that aside, IF you happen to come across rountrip tix circa rm500 n lower, grab it.. no think twice YO

Anyone here in Tokyo who wanna meet up this Sat or Sun? Sunday I plan to go Yoyogi park, Harajuku, Shibuya, Tokyu Hands etc. Saturday noon, gonna go to Ome, and free during night time. PM me~

--------------

Human nature, I just did Tsukiji this morning... shared a cab with fellow hostelmates to go there. We reached the Fish Information Centre at 4.40, and we are in the second group d. But depends on ur luck also, because my friend told me that he got a place even though he came after 5am.

For things to do around... go to a station and watch the rush hour crowd XD. Didnt know what to do that early, because the museums and what not wasnt opened yet. Also, for those interested, Sushi Daiwo had a super long line that curved around the corner by around 6.20am. So if you plan to do that, maybe come on non fish market days, or very early. For things to do in the area, check out Ginza attractions. Takashimaya is a station or two away, and riding their lifts is an experience by itself.

^ oh ok, thanks. you were able to able, cool much!

If I want to travel within Osaka, (shin osaka, Umeda, Minami, dotonbori, Kita. etc), which train do you suggest and is there a week pass for that?

According to hyperdia, each ride at least 350 - 600 Yen, and if I want to commute within osaka, station to station, that would cost me a bomb.


I will be staying somewhere in Fukushima .

Edit: JR Line is good, yes?

Fukushima as in Sendai Fukushima?
Then its the 7day JR-pass what u wanna get(28300yen) as it covers the Shinkansen from Tohoku to Kansai and local Kansai JR. It however does not cover osaka subways.
But you can get to most part of osaka via JR lines

Missed the AA big sale for early April sale . Im targetting this period for cherry blossom . Last year went during May , so haven't experience it yet .

Reckon any more flight ticket sales ?
