Why so harsh bro? Chillax. Just asking for recommendation. Got the time to type harsh comments but not a few names of hostels or places to stay?

*claps*=)

Tips: Google type Japan hotel Chain.

you find your answer.

I just came back from a business trip to Japan (went with wife)


I had a 3 year multiple entry visa that I applied for last year. At immigration, they asked me whether I want to use the multiple entry visa (max 15 days stay) or no need visa (max 90 days stay)

I was there only for a week so I told them it didn't matter, just use the multiple entry.

My wife didn't have the multiple-entry visa so she automatically got 90 days, no questions asked.

Wah 3 month stay. Perfect for very rich people or backpackers / couchsurfers

kyoto is Budget Inn/Backpacker Inn, another one is HanaHostel. if you pick shared bathroom is cheaper, if dun mind dorm, even cheaper.
Tokyo got a lot leh...

haha...
local shelter? as in friends? or home stay those kind? mind sharing? I'm planning a 2-3 weeks trip to Japan... Budget style

Was thinking to travel from Osaka to Hokkaido for few nights, but do not want to bring big luggages along.

1. Leaving it at a hotel, do they charge?
2. Or is there any alternative where we can store our big luggage by renting some luggage storage areas?

Won't give you direct answer...you have to do homework first...then only I will give you more detail


Emm...Overall you will still back to Osaka. Best still put it back at Hotel even they do charge.

Just exchanged some Yen yesterday. The rate I got was...
RM 332 = 10,000 Yen

Pretty good rate I guess?

Not really. I change some RM to Yen early July. For RM312 I got 10,000 yen.

How big is your luggage?? Yon can put your luggage at the train station luggage storage for a fee. But not for big luggage. Only for small & average size luggage.

Wah... that's a good rate u got there. Lucky you !
I've been asking around for the last couple days and RM 332 was the best rate I got in town.
