QUOTE(stimix @ Jul 23 2013, 11:34 AM) OK, human nature clarified earlier. However, the info counter in Shijuku stn kenot speak England wan.. He will point-point a piece of paper map leading to another counter inside Odaiba Mall where you can buy the freepass.  Well, I did but the mall still close at 8:30am and only open at 9:30am.. So no choice using my pasmo prepaid card going all the way to Hakone & up to the black egg volcano. - Total return cost per pass without the free pass & using the pasmo card ~ Y6300 /pax..sumore on super slow train esp after Odawara stn all the way to the ropeway  I bought my Hakone Free Pass at Odakyu Center, Shinjuku station and the staff spoke English Odakyu Sightseeing Service Center

QUOTE(Listiani @ Jul 25 2013, 10:46 PM) Do you know if Harajuku Girls come out on Sunday only or both Saturday & Sunday?? I want to take pictures of Harajuku Girls. I was told they will only coming out Sunday but some said both Saturday & Sundah. QUOTE(Human Nature @ Jul 25 2013, 11:41 PM) Not really sure. I went on Sunday but there were only 1-2 at the bridge, maybe I was late or didn't go to the correct location. U mean the cosplay ppl? Its sunday but nowadays they are getting less of them dressing up in cosplay. U are right its at the bridge between the station and the park/shrine

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Jul 27 2013, 11:40 PM) Airdo calls themselves LCC but its air fare isn't LCC. The air fare is about the same as ANA and JAL. Airdo is also partly owned by ANA. Skymark and Airdo about same price. Sightly more than 10,000 yen. Higher than Jetstar cause fly from Haneda. But Skymark luggage cheaper if u over limit and it has English website.

QUOTE(dexnox @ Aug 7 2013, 10:54 AM) Hi, yes I know no more visa. I am asking if they will still ask you anything at the airport. Like in UK, visa free but still ask for a lot of documents and proof. Sorry, misunderstood ur question. Just bring along to be safe. Don't take for granted. I have heard ppl getting deported in the past even with visa. Dono what reason This post has been edited by estcin: Aug 7 2013, 10:59 AM

QUOTE(shinchan99 @ Aug 16 2013, 11:49 AM) Regent: Thanks.. Still planning around that's why need information on the luggage, as i will be travelling to few places.. Anyway found some information on the luggage storage.. Thanks ! I am still thinking about my itenary for 11nights.. bought MAS KUL-KIX for 2014 trip. 1. Osaka (1n) - tokyo (2n) - mt fuji (2n) - Hokkaido (5n) flight back to Osaka (1n) 2. Osaka straight flight to Hokkaido (5n) - mt fuji (2n) - tokyo (2n) - Osaka (2n) Any other suggestions? Which way should be better? From the way I look at it, seems like option 2 more smooth? Either way, ur arrangement of Tokyo and Mt Fuji terbalik. Cos Mt Fuji located between Osaka and Tokyo

Just mapped through my itenary, i should actually take the 1st option, because of my travel date 26Apr-8may 2014, the sakura on hokkaido starts early may, so i should actually take Hokkaido as my last travel destination.. Hope you can catch shibazakura too in early May

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Aug 16 2013, 10:57 PM) Queue time 2 hours haha, you follow sifu RC style edy  QUOTE(Listiani @ Aug 16 2013, 11:09 PM) Not follow sifu lah!! I always do research before I post anything. Any information that I cannot find or ask for opinion only I post it here. Sometimes ppl just come here ask questions and expected to be spoon-fed when they never even do the simplest step - which is Google. The first page of the thread already got all the basic info and they never go through it. That's why kena told to do homework by sifu RC
