*clap hand* you go Tokyo only too?

Sakura forecast first blooming on 26March oh

Try Sedunia. But, yeah....why not DIY? Japan is not really that hard to travel ownself

I'm going with my parents . I rather get a tour ...I don't wanna exhaust them through out the journey

yes, compare to tour... diy in tokyo consist a lot of walking
walk all day and nite... no joke

but since u r going to hokkaido...
u situation is much better now.... rent a car
this is super relaxing
... except for the driver

and the major different between diy vs tour
- tour oni bring u to standard place, diy u can go to small2 place
- tour eat hotel food, diy can eat all the special thing... king crab anyone? or mos burger??
- tour u hv standard rules and limited amount of time, diy u can stay as long as u want and free to do wat ever u like

this is jus small example... there r many more...

Thanks Lucas ! I Might consider driving , sounds better .. I will
Look into it !

28 march - 5 april in tokyo and 6 april -13 april in kyoto.
in tokyo, apart from the city, i will also cover hakone nikko and kamakura.

so whats ur plan?

It's not that hard to plan the trp. With websites like http://www.japan-guide.com/ you can easily search for places of attractions and detailed information about the places you would like to visit. And it's fun to plan the trip too.

Your parents won't get exhausted if you're the one doing all the planning.
Hokkaido would be nice if you rent a car to drive around. I plan to do that in the future too.

Back from Japan.
Back on Services.

Driving at Hokkaido during winter time was extremely hard. Diving on icing road was no kidding.
Extremely stressful and exhausted

Thanks for the suggestions guy ! Yeah maybe I should DIY..cheaper

Should I book flight first before study about where am I going?

Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Tokyo - Narita (NRT)
Depart and Return = RM964.00
19 May - 26 May

About the date, is it ok to go?

im pretty sure he mention July...
and July is SUMMER in Hokkaido too

and better if u can go on August...
Noboribetsu and Lake Toya have Summer Festival

I'll stay in Tokyo only until 31st March

I will be in Japan on August, any summer festival that are recommended to join? ;D
