Summer time. That is why I don't travel to 4 season countries during summer

I went to the Japan Embassy last month, they said for non embedded chip passport still need visa but they don't need company letter etc. Just prepare your flight ticket, itinerary, hotel booking. Just give them a call to double chk.

I am going to Japan in October & I don't care about the radiation stuff. People worry so much about dying because of radiation. We will die eventually so who care?? Just go and enjoy yourself. If is my fate to die because of radiation so be it.

Think about it. If people claimed the radiation is so bad, don't you think the first one to be in trouble will be the Japanese?? It means the whole population will be wipe out.

you can actually chk with the hotel review for feedback. It helps you to decide weather or not to book the accommodation of your choice.

I hope it won't spread to Kansai area. I want to eat seafood as much as possible.

how many months already pregnancy?? How sure the doctor her baby is abnormal?? did she mentioned she went to Japan & probably the doctor assumed the baby is abnormal?

I will be in Japan from 18/10-31/10. Hopefully nothing major nature disaster happen during my trip.

My dear, JR Pass is for tourist only. Japanese staying in Japan are not entitle for this pass. You can't book or buy JR Pass in Japan. You need to buy in the country you are residing. They have many agent selling JR Pass all over the world. In Malaysia, you can buy from JTB (Japan Travel Bureau). I bought it during MATTA Fair for RM962 for 7 days pass. Since you are going from Tokyo to Hiroshima, Kyoto then Osaka you must buy the same JR Pass that I bought. Why are you spending most of your time in Kyoto?? No Osaka??

This is my programme

Day 1
2330hrs KUL to Tokyo

Day 2
Arrive Tokyo at 0640hrs. Drop luggage and visit the Imperial Palace.

Day 3
Tokyo perhaps roaming around at the Shinjuku, shibuya, Tokyo Tower & Roppongi.

Day 4
Tokyo (Doraemon museum & Nippori textiles street)

Day 5
Disneyland & Asakusa

Day 6
Going to Toyota plant in Nagoya

Day 7
Hakone

Day 8
Tokyo to Hiroshima. Visit the ground zero & peace memorial museum

Day 9
Going to Miyajima

Day 10
Hiroshima to Kyoto. Visit Gingakuji & GION upon arrival.

Day 11
Arasiyama & Kyoto Studio Park

Day 12
Kyoto to Osaka. Visit Osaka Castle & museum

Day 13
Osaka Aquarium and going around in Namba area

Day 14
Osaka to KUL

Why are going to Hakone after you arrive Kyoto?? You should do it when you are in Tokyo.

When you buy the JR Pass in KL, they will give you some sort of a voucher. When you arrive Japan, you must exchange this voucher with the pass at the counter. They will you give the list of the JR station where you can exchange the voucher to pass. At the same time, you can book your seat for all the sector for your oncoming journey.

I am so lazy to carry around the luggage bro. So that is the reason why we return to Tokyo & want to spend our last nite in Tokyo for visit to Cat Cafes since we are cat crazy couple. If possible we want to go every cat cafes

Why?? u mean the journey from Tokyo to Hiroshima?

You see, the Toyota Plant tour is at 1030hr. I will take the 1st train from Tokyo to Nagoya & it takes about 2 hours. Another 1 hour 30 minutes from Nagoya Station to the plant. We can't walk around with our luggage in tow. We do not have enough time to drop the luggage.

Like this waste alot of time when you going Hiroshima.

Thank you bro. I may have to reconsider that & start looking for place to stay in Nagoya instead of going back to Tokyo.

Bro, all the station your mentioned is in Nagoya right?? I can store the luggage there without dragging it to Toyota Plant.

Bro, me and hubby bring only 1 big bag & small hand carry. The big bag size is 70cm long & 50cm width. Is the locker can fit in that big bag? I read somewhere (can't remember where) the storage can only store small & medium size luggage.

Aiyaa... The Link I give you was Nagoya Station. Inside that Map you can found all the Locker position at Nagoya Station.

OK, noted bro. I already have Nagoya train map from MATTA Fair early this month.

Can fit in 1 big bag?? The size is 70cm height & 50cm width.

For a visitor like me, those maps are good plus some goggle here n there

Bro, change already. My Toyota Plant visit already amend to 24/10 instead of 23/10. I reserved a room in Nagoya. Meitetsu Inn Nagoya Nishiki.

Yup. So no need to worry about dragging my luggage. We may arrive Nagoya later at nite but better than dragging the bag.

Ooo... So after visit Hakone , From Odawara Station direct to Nagoya ?

I suggest you wear wool such as wool socks, wool sweater/jacket. Wool can keep your warm better than cotton in cold weather like winter.

Yeah, I know. Of course you need double layer on top of that. I bought merino wool jacket in New Zealand and it works wonderfully. It cost me NZD90 but I don't mind paying for good quality stuff.

My trip is in October & I booked my ticket in July. I did my research & goggle here n there only after finalize I posted it here. What makes you think you can do otherwise?? You must be the Y Generation need spoon fed all the time. This is your trip, you organize it & decide what you want to do. We can't speak and choose for you. We can give opinion only. Things that I like might not be your cup of tea, things you like might not my thing. That is the reason why you must do your research.
