Can you guys suggest any other site for book now pay later site? Other than booking.com.

i did booked with agoda and venere. see whichever is cheaper loh


You can go google Nagano/Northern alps and see which place you would like to go. I chosed Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Winter should see snow rite

u no need PAY Later feature, u need free cancellation!!!

agoda if u choose pay later, u will not have free cancellation
each cancellation will cost ~USD15 service fee

yea...i usually plan around taking photos currently kansai gets my vote...tohoku on winter problematic go the place i wanna visit due to heavy snow and limited access due to no or less bus to the places i wanna go.

actually you may try to contact the hotels directly and some provide such service too. read the terms properly on cancellation notice, etc.

pls use agoda.com,booking.com,japanican,jalan and hotel official website as well to do the prices comparison.

Not sure which online review you saw, but Airbnb is totally legit and safe.

Sometimes you just need to know, somewhere somebody just have to take the job to bash everything and getting paid.

Hi, i wanna ask how restriction to shoot photo at japan? i will plan go kyoto -> osaka during early march, my fren says some restaurant not allow your to take picture, and how about airport ( when you come out from the airplane ) ?? wanna know this part, any guide? thx

keep a look out if there is any 'no camera' signs. at airport, it is common that it is prohibited before custom.

I know this is a bit too early. But I want to ask if driving in Hokkaido during early April is ok and safe? I will go to Furano area from new chitose airport.

Guys I have a question here, I happen to buy a lot of doujin books in akuhabara. If I bring it back to Malaysia will it be confiscated? Anyone here with experience do share it with me

Hi sifus,

I'll be going to Tokyo for my very first Japan trip end of April.

Will be departing from kul to Narita airport, I have not yet done my itinerary yet. But there are places that I plan to visit like Disneyland, akihabara, Mt Fuji, and etc.

I'll be there for 9 days.

I have some questions regarding Accomodation, I have gone through booking com, Agoda, japanica, tripadvisor, but still did not manage to get the right hotel with the right budget.

I know about the rooms are very small there, and the beds too. Me and my partner are quite BIG in size. Its impossible to fit into one single bed.

Could anyone recommend me any hotel which have:

King or Queen size bed
walking distance to train station (less than 500m)
budget RM 300~350 per night, RM3000 for 9 days.

I'm currently looking at Pearl hotel Yeasu near Tokyo station.

Thanks.
