My mom says if if the custom checks my luggage and found alot of bought items from japan, they will charge taxes on us? Is it true?
If so, how is it calculated? Thanks guys!
*
u mean malaysia custom? most of the time nobody is checking nothing, in my last 10 trips in and out of malaysia (within a 3 months period), i never saw ANYBODY checking luggage being in LCCT or KLIA...

if u worried they charge tax, just open the bought items, separate the box from the item itself (with a different bag) and u will be ok.

U got plan to go alone? I spend less then rm 2k include food. I was there around 8 days. Photo maybe later. Working now. Haha

Again I think up to ur priority. If u are there for the food, of course u need bigger budget.
*
wow so cheap only 2k? notworthy.gif

i was planning on a budget of maybe 5k total (per person), that's because i really like to eat, lol

we will be staying in apartments, 6 pax, averaging RM100 / person / night in accommodations, 10 days 9 nights. Osaka - Tokyo - Osaka.

JR pass + accommodations already close to 2k. I'm preparing to spend RM150 per day on food alone, that means almost 1.5k on food for the entire trip. Misc cost like taxi / bus tickets etc RM500, RM200 for Disney ticket. still got few hundred spare as standby.

since you are heading to osaka as well, why not pick universal studio over disneysea? i suppose it has more thrill rides.
*
we want to visit Tokyo Disney because it's considered the best Disney in the world. It will be a waste not to visit there at least once in a lifetime. also, Universal Studio Singapore also got, although quite different, but it's nothing special. Disney is special to most of us who grows up in the 80s

About eat I thought very expensive before I when to Tokyo and Osaka. I prepare 1000 yen for each meal but actually used 500 - 700 yen for each meal. But some meal can go for expensive too  smile.gif
*
i know got a lot of affordable food, but it's best to just prepare more budget, since i'm a super foodie

You have to decide whether you want thrill rides or relive your childhood memories. Many (me included) choose Disneysea because it is the only Disneysea in the world. However, has less Disney theme compared to Disneyland itself. In other words, no magic. Forget Cinderella, Snow White, etc

If you have been to other Disneylands, then probably you might wanna try Disneysea this time

will discuss with my other members of my group, since more than half of them are girls...

Asking this kind of question here won't get a answer. Specially from the pro.
Tools and guide all at page 1 already.  Do the work.

yup, better do some research online yourself, since different ppl have different priorities. like me, i based my trip totally on food, so everywhere i go i search for best food first, then only the actual location for the tour.

Japan hotel avg need RM200 per night...6 day mean 1.2k already

Rm 300 for 6 day food and transportation....you think possible?
*
backpackers hostel only around RM70-90 per person per night. but even if u stay there cheap cheap, u will also need to prepare extra budget just in case. 1.5k might last u 6 days, but if there's an emergency and u need to use extra $ u won't have any $ left...

Hello guys, I'm planning for a trip to Japan

Just want to ask, will RM5k of expenses be a bit of a stretch for a 2 weeks trip? Or it's safe to up the budget a bit.

I've not decided where or when to go yet, but I'm planning to go do some sight seeing, taking photographs and such. Living and eating won't be a major concern, so I'll be okay with staying in budget hotels and such.

Oh and I'm planning for a solo trip.

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Feb 9 2014, 10:41 PM)
Very broad question. Where and when are two very vital components in travel cost estimation.

Plan your itinerary and add up all the estimated cost and you will get your answer.

QUOTE(deodorant @ Feb 10 2014, 12:09 AM)
This is like asking 'guys I wanna buy a car but haven't decided. Will 40k be enough to buy the car I want?'

How do we know whether 40k is enough if we don't know what cat you want?

take overnight coach, save hotel + time + $$$
estimate your budget/time here >> https://willerexpress.com/en/

the price for overnight bus is almost same as renting an apartment for 1 night (per person, that is...)

if don't have JR pass then it's very affordable, but if traveling to more than 1 place (e.g. Osaka - Kyoto - Osaka - Tokyo - Osaka) just can't beat JR pass.

personally, i can't sleep on a moving vehicle, so overnight bus is not for me.

there are so many websites selling JR pass, which one is best? or we can just buy from Malaysia travel agent / distributor?
