Thanks. Never know there is alice in the wonderland too.

Will ask my gf choose 1. We also going to maid cafe and maybe one piece cafe as well

anyone can recommend me a nice hot spring that have a nice view like mt fuji view?

probably better that is a hotel with hot spring outside the room

Ok nice. So is it wrong to ask for the recommendation of the resort that some people might have been there before?

What is the point of this thread then? Just don't reply if you don't bother to help.

i booked MAS for RM1350 return Tokyo. AA will be slightly exp after included meals,luggage,etc. ANA 1.5x more exp but I nearly go for it because they are using Boeing 787

Most of them are using 787 but of course there will be 1 stop which is Singapore first. So it will be 333 fom KL to Sg then 787 to Narita

don't know about other date but 787 is operating on the date i want

You can use luggage forwarding service to send your luggage to other hotel without bringing it along

Which day you are in Osaka? I just booked 4 nights in Dotonbori Hotel, Osaka on 14 Oct and cost me USD$323.

14 Oct is public holiday in japan and many hotels were booked out in that long weekend

I just finished booking few days ago. Kyoto was the hardest one for 2 nights because of the long weekend so I split into two hotels for two nights. That weekend is also Suzuka F1 GP so it will be more expensive too.

i wondering what do you expect when you are travelling to other countries. don't expect other cultures will be the same as malaysian

i don't see any problem with chopstick only. if you need to use spoon for miso soup then you are wrong. you need to grap a bowl of it to drink it. same as ramen soup

2. again, they are japanese and they are not obligated to learn English anyway. i just came back from Japan today and I went to BBQ restaurant in SHinjuku and the waiter can't even speak 9pm in English but we roughly know what he trying to say and he thank got there is a clock near us and he just showed the time and ask us to wait

3. why would they speak to foreigner when they duno how to communicate with you?if you want them to speak with you, you can try the famous sushidai or daiwa sushi shop in tsukiji fish market. they will talk a little bit with you but prepare to wait few hours for the queue

i dono what kind of help you need but if you going there without a planned itinerary then a real good luck for you. i normally will put the popular venues into weekdays to avoid many crowds

personally, i find tokyo boring. i prefer kyoto or osaka. i also had one night ryokan in hakone which is the best. private session of ossen and good dinner and breakfast. good for a real leisure.

luckily there were 2 days of raining in my whole 2 weeks trip and today's rain is the heaviest and also my departure day

overall, the trip is good and also tiring. lots of walking and always get lost on the road coz the street name is confusing. the food is amazing and we just line up when we see the long queue. kinda adventure for me and my gf
