now i need to arrange where should i go since i will arrive at nagoya31jan and depart from osaka 6th feb

hooray, end of the year, i will going to japan again
this time i try new thing!
Rent a car at japan!! it might save cost when you need go some place like 1 or 2 hour to reach and because the jr pass was expensive and you just need use it for 1 day

yes, we plan go nikko, that need use jr pass, which 8000 yen x 2
and need follow the train/bus schedule, so i try to rent a car for 12 hours, it only cost 8000 yen +-
and yes, we need petrol and toll fee, but we can follow our schedule, no need worry the bus/train schedule

japan is the nice place to visit, this is my third time! 

i know there are so many way can go there
but if drive car, i can go even far, and stop by anywhere i like, no need worry the bus/train schedule
and i planing go far a little bit like okunikkou, they recommend me this place

The REAL one mean u need to take the test with left and right side drive, once you get it
you can go overseas and driving anytime you want

while this only just a permit you can use at some period of time only

Regarding the driving license, here have some explanation

So I can start to rent out my Nissan Leaf.        Side income hahaa

City drive max 90km. Because of traffic Jam. But Japan Petrol station and car park all got charging station
Expensive.  It dont have engine. So no petrol needed. Need pay electrical bill.  That car I brought at 4.2 million Yen.  Car installment was part of burden.

I only used car when needed only. Taking Train still more best...alot pretty girl yo

I always do Tips of the Month

i checked their website ...
how is the charges count ? if 1am to 5am only .. man and female must be seperated ?

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

In Japan. Customers is God
They never say no to customers. Customers always right.

Aiyaa....For me will be....What? Japan again?  Seriously? 
Boring la

Obviously are Akibahara.
Don't buy handphone because it won't works in Malaysia.
Any electronic stuff you buy make sure you buy the converter also.

Japan electronic stuff charger only can withstand 110V.  Witout converter plug in Malaysia 230V ...Your electronic stuff will fries

[email=RegentCid]RegentCid[/email], do you think it's better that I use credit card to pay my hotels when i'm in Japan rather than using cash in terms that the currency rate used by bank will be lower than money exchanger rates, right?

i will use cc whenever possible but first ask your hotel whether they accept cc or not

I have a very *weird* question that hasn't been satisfactorily answered by Google... yet.

Can you actually buy things from Amazon JP, address it to the Narita Terminal 2 Post Office for delivery now, and pick it up next week when you arrive?

Is this possible? I know you can do it with sim cards and MIFIs (GAC does this) but what about normal parcels?

I *could* just send it to my hotel (in Fukouka) though I would arrive later in the evening. Maybe I should shoot them an email and see if they can hold my parcel for me, though it's one of those "business hotel" type places so I'I'm not sure.

For reference, what I plan to buy is this: http://amzn.to/14F9yHn (The Tamrac/Kenko zipshot).

Or if anybody saw it being sold cheaper over at any Bic or Yodobashi, that would be equally helpful.
