Yea I know about the adjustment in date. I allocated 3 days to shuffle around due to my limitations, cause only a one week trip, and they close on Tuesday. How many days your trip there?

Nevertheless, I enlisted the aid of bro sacwoc to be safe to avoid any disappointment. If all else fail, then I will do it own my own. Thank you on your info here though, I totally forgotten there is Lawson in airport too.
RegentCid Is it ok if I choose board the limousine bus at a hotel I am not staying? I mean I just walk in few days earlier to the hotel lobby to reserve a bus ticket from the hotel staff even though I am not staying there.

6 days a bit rush lah, but it's do-able.  your flight arrive at tokyo and leaving also tokyo?

Fron Sapporo no bullet train to Ueno.
You have to reach Shin-Aomori station first.

Going to Tokyo on 26March2015,reached at 10:30pm
Leaving on 31March at 11:45pm
Flight by AirAsia
Hopefully can catch the Sakura season

then it's not 6 days, only 5 days at the most because you "reach" Tokyo on 26th and "leaving" on 31st.  I wouldn't recommend u go Kyoto, it's just too rush and will ruin your trip.  5 days is just nice for Tokyo and side trips.  save Kyoto for your next trip, this time can include Osaka because they are quite near.

Yes you can for the limousine bus. I have done it quite often.

question on souvenirs

I'm planning to buy small souvenirs when in Tokyo. Is it generally cheaper in Oriental Bazaar or Ameyoko street? I'm only going to each place once so hope if I can get any feedback on this.

thanks!

Can have a look at sensoji temple as well. Don't expect the prices to be below RM10 per item though.

Im flying with AA arriving KIX at 10.30pm. Not sure if there is any lounge area that i can spend a night. Anyone tried before?

after some research on japan.. really pening  can't decide which is better..  plan to go 12 days (or lesser?) to japan but i'm not sure whether enough to cover those attractions or not

Tokyo + Osaka or Tokyo & it nearby surrounding only?

or should i focus on 1 place only and others on next trip?

i knew that the distance between Tokyo & Hokkaido is far apart but do anybody go to Tokyo + Hokkaido? money wise definitely not cheap 

Hokkaido is really depend on the season,
each attraction hv their own uniqueness depend on the season
mean, u hv to skip it if u go during the wrong season 

i went during autumn, i think i use 8days
can see mountain top cover with snow and below it is yellow autumn leaf (forest)... really stunning 
the oni regret didnt managed to see sunflower farm
