Thanks! Require to do advance reservation?

I just want to confirm.
Malaysia phone most of the time due to the gsm stuff right? So even if I buy the tourist internet only sim card, I won't be able to use it, right?
Currently I not sure which to get; portable WiFi or the sim.

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

Hi quick question, anyone know if I can get away with renting a car without an International Driver's license, or I must have one before I can rent a car in Japan?

Dont think you can. If you did and involve in accident, you will be in big trouble as insurance will not pay and will cost much more than the cost of your international license.

Another typhonn approaching Japan on Monday......and I need to ensure all my operations and transportation not affected...

i'm a 30 year old travel noob...
(the futherest i go is to Indonesia.... but i guess that doesn't count... cause we share the same language {also english as backup}, ALMOST the same food....)

anybody planing to go japan, would really like to join....

No really. It was at Sannomiya Station nearby

100% sure you cannot get any rented Car. Japanese worker follow company rule completely & strictly

1st feb then 8th balik lo

staying in osaka by the way

not every part of japan need car...
most of the places is accessible by train... or legs

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!

just go jpj apply it, somebody say it cost RM150 and just fill up the form
because u just use it 1 time, no need go for the REAL international driver's license
and japan is right hand drive, so should not be a problem la

This mean your homework still not reach 100% yet.
Going Nikko not really need JR Rail Pass.
Please Refer to Page 1 Nikko Section.

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

What are you talking about ada kah such thing as "real" or "not real"? The rm150 at JPJ one IS the real international driver's permit.

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

2person per car, might not worth of it...

fully support this...
the other advantage... u able to travel very late in the night and very early in the morning...
fully taking advantage of car rental...

bullshit...
no need thos crap, now u just need a new version of license
our international licenses is just a translation paper
(fyi msian basic licenses cover alot of country)

i know coz going to US do not need any international license and US is left hand drive
no need INTERNATIONAL LICENSE/TEST to drive left hand car
