Are you going to stay somewhere near Kamata after you landed in Haneda ?
I was thinking of booking a hotel near Shinjuku, but got worried that any delay might burn a big hole in my budget by paying midnight surcharge for taxi

Did anyone mention to get a Suica pass? It's basically like touch and go where you can top up. You can use it in both Kansai area and Kanto, quite useful for us.

Kansai people (Kyoto, Osaka) are generally more helpful and warm people compared to Tokyo folks. You know la, Tokyo big city, some people rather hide behind their face masks and headphones and pretend to not see you when you ask them questions.

Travelling alone is so awesome but a bit intimidating for me, good luck!

few questions i wanna ask:

1. should i buy the disneyland tickets, rail passes, book hotels online before going? i'm going in early may and read that time is Japanese holiday and tourist season. is it possible to buy on the spot?

2. the branded things in ginza are they cheaper compared to Msia? Is there limit on things that we can bring out of the country?

3. i buy the electronics such as hp, lappy, can use in Msia?

Thanks!
