take note the visa application form has new format now.
If you are filling a form that has 'for office use' box on the 1st page middle and its a 2page form, you are filling the correct one.
If you are filling a 1paged form, that is an old form and wont be accepted anymore.

Mine rejected so i filled up the new form on the spot (i edited my old form from feb)
However some runner ended up kena take back the new form for their client to re-fill.
Other than that i prep 1 itinerary form, 1 passport pic, bank stat, letter from office, a copy of flight confirmation tix(not required, but ok to submit)

Thank you so much for your information, the golden temple is it near the mountain there which kinda far from Nijo-jo?
Kyoto is it full of blossom tree? I planned to visit during Autumn (after winter), wher can I see the blossom trees surrounding me?
What had you prepare, can list to me?

So do you prefer us go to the embassy get the form to fill up instead of download from official web site since the form is not updated.
the documents requirement is it still the same which are

itineary form x 1
passport pic x 1
Bank statement x 1
employment letter x 1

what else?

I applied before. Just print screen the balance then ask bank officer to stamp/chop on it.

When did u applied? Last year i applied i also did the same thing.

Just last week only send for another application.

Last year. So now they changed the rules?

Confirm flight itinerary
Itinerary in Japan
Accommodation booking in Japan

I went to MBB to get my e-account verified by the officer but then the officer say now need a 'letter' from the bank to say your a/c got how much etc. Paid about RM15 for that..... The officer mentioned that there was someone who wanted to apply for japan visa, ask them to stamp CTC the bank statement but they came back another time to ask for a 'letter'.

they changes the requirement earlier this year
