Since I am only staying in Tokyo area. What kind of transportation pass should I get?
Day pass more worth it?

I got question here did we need valid visa to head to Japan? Because from what I heard from a friend of mine u didn't need visa just Malaysian passport will be enough. How about budget how much should I bring will 2k++ will be sufficient? Cause we're only travel backpacker style.

You may find a lot of info about Japan in this thread. If there's a small chip sign in front of your passport cover then you are not required to have Visa.

hmmm.. i was using Visa and Master cards all along

I see so if your passport doesn't have one basically you have to apply visa at japanese embassy is it? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Renew your passport. easier than applying Visa

No worries, glad to be of help!

Thanks will do that. How about budget how much should I bring to Japan?

Anyone tried NTT East Free Wifi for tourist before?
Getting my preparation taking off...

It wont works and you will never found it

I survived one week in Japan with only RM1.5K, but I could manage only because my accommodation was free. Food and transportation in Japan is expensive so make sure you plan your budget properly.

mind to tell me how ur accommodation is free? find couchsurfing?

My colleague was working there for a few months so I got to stay for free

Where will this check take place? Japan or Malaysia custom? They check everyone or random? Then like fridge magnets how, buying as souvenirs for people

Anyone staying in capsule in japan before? how's the experience

Malaysian Customs had scan all bags at KLIA2 except my shopping bag
They are there to create a queue for no reason

when you make your payment using amex, is there any OTP or straight away purchase successful after clicking next?

Malaysia Custom ...start at April 2015. Will charge you GST if you spent Rm400 above on souvenir.

Buy at JTB Malaysia. Simple. Or buy at Disney spot. I like to Q at Disney...alot pretty girl cuci mata one

no OTP.. if u read the purchase by CC t&c other then amex. both visa and master requires OTP. so mine was straight transacted thn the sms frm the bank came and its in JPY. not USD...

maybe u find a fren who uses amex lo.. thn u pay him/her back in cash.... i rather buy online thn waste time queuing la.. IMO

Very blood sucking one. Not enough of taking income tax, this one also wanna tax! Okay, I will just remove all those tag and say i I brought from malaysia and then bring back

Not in KL for JTB. Not economical buying cash due to high local changer rate. Use cc can get some cash back also. Need to squeeze money whenever possible Can cuci mata during the 2 hours queue for the rides
