I have just returned from Japan yesterday evening in one piece, although limping due to a pulled ligament in my knee from all the stair-climbing in the subway stations.

Japan is very seductive and addictive. Belum pergi belum tahu, sudah pergi lagi mahu.

Initially, after booking our flight tickets and hotel through Expedia, I was very apprehensive about the trip, especially because of the different train operators and lines which are very confusing. I had thought of seeking advice through this thread, but was wary of RegentCid’s admonishments - “Do your Homework! No spoon-feeding!”. So, I read through ALL the 5 versions of the Japan threads (starting from this one, V5, and working backwards). Then, I checked out all the places in our itinerary through Hyperdia, printed out the schedules/stations which are relevant as well as print out the Google maps for the routes where we need to walk. So, RegentCid, I did my homework and I’m really grateful to you for being such a strict sensei because it really helped to make our trip easier.

All in, it cost slightly over RM18,000 for our family of four. This includes:
- Return air tickets from Penang to Narita via Cathay Pacific transiting through Hongkong
- 6 nights in Chisun Hotel in Ueno (2 rooms, a bit small but comfy and clean, won’t hesitate to stay there again if we go to Tokyo)
- 4 Keisei Skyliner (return) + 3-day subway pass combo tickets (¥5,400 each). We maximised use of the subway pass for the first 3 days
- 2 tickets to Disneysea (bought from JTB before our departure) for my children
- 4 tickets to Ghibli museum
- 3 tickets to Sanrio Puroland
- 1 return Willer bus ticket from Tokyo to Kyoto (for my son)
- 1-day Kyoto bus pass
- Pasmo cards (used after the third day when the subway pass has expired)
- entrance fees to museums etc.
- 63 (yes, you read right) packets of Kitkat (different flavours). What to do, my children want 5 flavours each for some of their friends
- 6 packets of Tokyo Banana
- 6 packets of Shiroi Koibito
- umpteen Hello Kitty stuff (for daughter)
- loads and loads of other stuff (souvenirs, jeans, shoes etc.)

We had to buy a new 28-inch luggage bag there to carry all our shopping stuff back.

Now resting my leg and waiting for cheap tickets before going to Japan again.

You remember what is the price for 1 box of 10 pcs? I removed all price tags and forgotten how much it was. I got myself 5 boxes too 

We paid different prices for different flavours, mostly around ¥250 per pack on the average. The most expensive was ¥295. However, we noticed later that some packets had 10 pieces, some 12 and some 13, depending on the flavour. Since the price is around RM18 to RM21 per packet in Malaysia, we didn't bother to check the number of pieces and just grabbed whatever new flavour that we haven't bought yet.

All in, we bought six flavours - the ubiquitous green tea, strawberry, raspberry, dark chocolate and two baked varieties, i.e. baked chocolate and baked pumpkin/melon (not sure because we don't understand the Japanese words. Picture shows a melon, but it's a special Halloween edition with carved pumpkin theme).

So, Human Nature, if you're still in Japan, better go and buy more!

I am back home  Looks like you got more flavors. Mine is the sakura matcha, uji matcha, two flavors of strawberry and hokkaido red bean (this one is not nice  )

lol the hokkaido red bean is actually my favorite. Also dropped by the Kit Kat store to buy those special flavors and try out the Submlime flavor that cost about RM10 for just one stick, wasn't really worth it because it didn't taste that special or anything.

hmmm wasabi one...spicy? 

Wasabi mana ada spicy. It just instant kick only.

Hey guys, My flight gets into Haneda 9.30pm, that should give me plenty of time to catch the Limousine bus into Shinjuku right?

Extremly alot time.  Take Monorail even better

I have an experience using Keikyu bus to Kamata before. You need to go downstairs and out from the airport terminal. Try to find bus stop number 11, its at the very end. Other stops may have dispensers for you to buy ticket, but for your ride to Kamata you only pay to the driver when you board the bus. If I'm not mistaken only Yen 270 per person.
