Thanks zstan. Was 50/50 of paying too go up the Tower but from your recommendations and pics I'll probably skip.

Best view of tokyo SkyTree are not from Top. Are from Bottom to Up.
Best Location are

十間橋
&
妻橋

I like Yokohama's Landmark Tower cause 1 side can see the sea, 1 side Mt Fuji and 1 side the city

Already confirmed my stay with Best Western Shinjuku for 10 nights in mid of February, gonna use that as a base. Itinerary wise will be the usual tourist attraction and maybe two days trip to Yokohama and Hakone.

As this is a trip for relaxing therefore won't be packing tight schedule, free and easy tour around Tokyo for food and maybe some shopping. Hopefully won't be expecting a lot of rain during this period.

Anyone here heading Tokyo in February? I'm departing from 12th to 22nd.

I heading Tokyo every month. 1 year 12 to 14 times

December 25 X'mas day

That day will have one Special Tips for you guys.....Stay Tune.

So how much is the budget to travel to Japan for 1 person anyway ?

- Via Travel Agency package
- Self go.

Sit back and enjoy ANA B787-7
Flying to Matsuyama. Biggest City at Shikouku Island

Inside Video you will saw Tokyo Haneda International Airport Terminal 2 also knows as Haneda ANA Terminal.
JAL will using Terminal 1.

During Flying Time...You will saw some Japanese Information Guide. That was Jakarta International Soekarno-Hatta Airport guide. From the guide you will know how to get off the airport easily.

2nd Airport guide was Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport

Travel Agency will be RM3500 - 5500. I recommended Apple Tour Agency.

Self Tour. RM3000 Above depend how luxury you want to stay.

Overall .. the 5k tour seems good for a first timer since solo will get lost anyway. huhuhuhuhuhuuuu

you won't go lost if you have done your research properly

But they all speak Japs even you speak English for direction, you will get Japs answer .. so now need to learn Japs ler .. huhuhuhuhuhuhuh

nope.. if you have really done a really detailed research (up to the point of using Google Street View to get your directions), you won't really have to ask for directions.

I will research ... but i still think it won't be easy. huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu ~~

Bro... I went there solo hokkaido (sapporo n otaru) n tokyo on oct. I did study google map, street view, hyperdia.com n some books but I know u wil stil worry wil get lost cox I was thr same too but after u reach there u wil know is quite easy d. Trust me... I know u worry bout the trains map but the officer there is very friendly to help. example, just ask "sumimasen... Shibuya..." he wil point u which platform n train d. No worry bro...

Btw, I used up rm5700 including flight n hotel for 8 days.

Dont worryla. If you did your research, you will be okay. I hardly ask for direction and I am doing ok. Manage to enjoy Tokyo for 10 days without using travel agent.

Hi people I've been following this forum just in case I'll be going to Japan.I really enjoyed the senior members' explanation and answers throughout this forum.
This 30th Ill be heading out to Japan (from KL to KIX) for about a week.Since this is my first time going to Japan,I wanna go to the mainstream places first. The cities that I'll be visiting would be Osaka and Tokyo.I haven't done my itinerary yet,can any of the senior members suggest to me where and what are the best places that I should visit?
