I take it this is not your finalized itineraries especially 4th, 5th and 6th coz it looks dull and there are more to tokyo than just ginza and akiba, but to each his own.

If you are not extravagant, you can get by easily with 5,000 Yen in food, 1,000 Yen in transportation, plus whatever expenses you wish to spend. I brought only 2.500MYR for 3 weeks and spent about 5,000 Yen a day for food/transport and still have alot. (I couchsurfed for couple of days and go touring with the locals.)

oh... any suggestion on where should i visit?my budget is 3.5k for everything

my budget for 6 days exclude arrival is rm3.5k
and suggestion for my 4,5,6 ?
im staying at Toco Tokyo hostel

Does anyone knows if it's possible to go on this trip without joining a tour? :

Fuji Visitor Center (20 min) 􀂹 Mt. Fuji 5th Station (30 min) 􀂹 Enjoy a
Japanese-style meal 􀂹􀀁 LakeAshi cruise (15 min) 􀂹 Mt. Komagatake
Ropeway (50 min) 􀂹 Return to Tokyo by motorcoach.

I just did the math 3 weeks each day 5000 yen = RM3465....

dont mind me... researching forums and planning my trips to Japan next year..

Then Hardworking doing Job then go. Now no need Visa anymore.


For me, I go Japan until boring already. Now I prefer China more

damn... so cocky meh...
is ur next trip is africa, antarctica & arctic?

I will have 14 hrs layover at narita from LAX. Arriving 9pm n flight next morning 11am

I hv checked narita airport website. Can go out coz we dun need visa anymore. Website something nearby temple n narita city

Anyone had similar experience of long layover or suggestions for things to do ?

I go Japan 3 times a month. 36 times a year.
You say boring or not?
I more targeting China for my Vacation.


Take NEX train to Tokyo. But you need fill in entrance form.

Spent whole morning reading about NEX + SUICA

How far can I go with preloaded 1500yen in SUICA?

Reach at 2105 after 14hrs flight. Unless I dun sleep, else might not have time to go Tokyo.

Maybe just narita city.

Narita City nth to see...it just like Sepang only...full of forest. 1500 Yen Suica quite enough for using inside Tokyo metro.


If you like fashion then can take the NEX to Shinjuku. Shop at Shinjuku for the rest of hour.....then take NEX back to Narita. NO Suica require. If you want to used Suica then can take Metro [[Yamanote line]] to Harajuku continue shopping after done at Shinjuku.

Ok I understand now. Just buy NEX to either one station then go back to narita.

70 minutes journey one way. That is 2.5hrs just for return journey. Right?

Need to wake up early to go shopping lol (shops open on 1st Jan morning?)

1st of Jan? man that day alot shop not opening except mall only. that was suck day for shopping.!!!


bad luck man....like this better take NEX + Suica together to Tokyo Station. at Tokyo Station used your Suica to Asakusa Station by Asakusa Line. At Asakusa then go Tokyo Sky Tree much better. after Skytree then below of Sky tree are Shopping mall.

Ok thanks

Actually shopping is not my priority coz already shop enough at US. Just to look around

bro, my expenses last year around 3.5k, covering osaka, nara, kyoto, hakone, tokyo. for 10days. all in more than enuf.
bear in mind last year exchange rate.

Just to thank you guys at the forum for all the discussions and information given. From middle June, we have been going around trying to get info to plan our itinerary as we are going on our own.

Our group of 6 from Melaka, will be going soon during Raya, and hope we will have a good time. Only thing is we did not know at this time it is Obon festival, and thus Onsen at Hakone is very expensive to stay.

We hope to pay hotel bills by Credit card and allocate around 60,000 Yen for food and transportation as we have already bought JR Pass and will try to use JR line as much as possible. To make the pass worth it, will go to Hiroshima, from Osaka.

We would appreciate it if those well versed with Japan can at least try to help with whatever info that they know. Most of us are first timers going to Japan and there is a limit to what we can find from the Web. It is better getting some direct advice and help from those who have experienced it before. For example, during weekends, better to tour City, and go to Hakone, etc during weekdays to avoid the crowd.

Booking thru Air Asia, we feel it is better to go in thru Osaka and exit thru Tokyo as we can avoid problem of most trains stopping service after midnight since AAX flights to Haneda will arrive around 11pm and earliest can arrive at Hotel in Shinjuku is around 1am, using Hiperdia guide.

Thanks, all your info has in one way or other helped us to get a clearer picture of what we will be going through. After this trip, will be glad to offer helpful info to those going on their own to places we have been.

hmm this hasnt really been asked before... in terms of ... getting a prepaid sim card with data ...
