Lets say one family going for holiday in Japan, can just one representative go to embassy to submit visa application for the entire family or everyone who is going to Japan must be present to submit their respective documents ?

Hi, is free wifi easily available in Japan?
How much does it cost to purchase a 3G sim card in Japan in case I need to rely on internet to search for travel guides ?

Thank you Ah WanG.

Between Lake Kawaguchi (Five Lakes) and Hakone, which one is preferable ?
I will be travelling from Osaka and Lake Kawaguchi would be approximately 6 hours plus according to Google Maps.

Hakone's lake ashinoko and Lake kawaguchiko is not in the 5 lakes. 

If your interest is Fuji ONLY, then Lake kawaguchiko would be the one offer better and more stunning Mt Fuji view due to proximity. It is more commercialise, you can stay in the hotel beside the lake which all the hotel room come with stunning fuji view, one of that is Tominoko Hotel, reasonable price. From kawaguchiko, you can get up to 5th station of mt fuji or even hiking at mt fuji, different experience of Mt Fuji.

Hakone is more adventure & interesting. You could experience 7 different transportation around Hakone are, get a hakone free pass. Mountain-climbing railway, ropeway, pirate ship, and many more. From Owakudani, you can see the clearer view of mt fuji (depends on weather condition). Hakone is one of the famous onsen place.

If you have spare time, or 1 and half / 2 days there, you would have enuf time to visit both.

Thank you for your feedback. I did not have the intention of climbing Mt Fuji itself (or completely).
I do understand that both Lake Kawaguchi and Hakone (Lake Ashinoko) is two different locations, but I came across both names when I was thinking of somewhere scenic with Mt Fuji view.
