Just wondering anyone has any recommendation on maid cafes in akiharabara?
Are photos allowed in the cafe?

Generally speaking maid cafe don't allow (free) photos, if want photo with maid need to pay extra. Even those maid standing on the streets handing out flyers oso a lot of them will kpkb if u take their photo.

do you know any places in tokyo that sells yukata that is "yasui" and good in quality?

Well I can tell you where not to buy yukata. Me and waifu bought cheap sets at Nakamise (the shopping street leading up to Sensojii temple at Asakusa), end up was Made in Indonesia and super fragile / low quality.

However when it came to paying, it redirected me to the my bank OTP page. I was shocked to see the amount became USD22,000 instead of 22,000YEN  shocking.gif  obviously I didn't proceed with the transaction sweat.gif. Was wondering anyone encountered this before ?

Well ... do you have rm72k credit limit on your card? If no then when you try to proceed if it's really usd22k it should reject tongue.gif

i've never been to japan, so do you think it's easy to find our way without any google map?

If your budget allows and if you are doing free & easy I would say it's better to take pocket wifi. It's not necessary but it allows you to do research 'in the field' when your plans need changing.

Anyway regardles of whether you pocket wifi or no pocket wifi do your planning as detail as possible before flying. My first trip in Japan I planned everything down to which trains to take, what time, what platforms to go to etc etc.

which is the best wifi rental company?

Every time I go Japan I use http://www.globaladvancedcomm.com/pocketwifi.html ... I have zero idea how this compares to the other providers but it's good enough for me so never bothered switching providers.

hotel mystays ok ke? Very tempted only 150 per night at Nagoya but saw some disgusting picture on tripadvisor

mystays is a big hotel chain so each location will be different. but for me i stayed a few nights at the asakusa-bashi location a while back, no complaints for the cheap price except maybe the mattress a bit hard.

As I  try promoting more info about Shikoku here.  Most Malaysian goes Japan only choose Kansai / Tokyo / Hokkaido. Very less going Okinawa , Kyushu , Shikoku. 

Haha, I guess it's cos most of us only get to go japan once or twice so naturally need to cover the "more popular" area first biggrin.gif
