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.

bring up the map in the booking website such as agoda, then start looking from the location of the train station
tokyo station area is typically more expensive, you may want to try other areas such as Ueno, Ikebukuro, etc

You know Malaysia la...Due to starting everything was hot. Those customs sure will do thier job....wait until July , Sep , Oct......heat was low...lazyniess kick in....then u got chances slip away.

RM400 u spent on oversea must kena Tax GST....
Baju cannot buy more than 3


Those GST stuff only tax u when you coming back to Malaysia. So normally it won't affected your boarding Plane time. But COming back malaysia after passport check......claim lugggae......then will be extremely long Q at custom luggage check area.

That depends on what kind of doujinshi you buy. Adult comics sure kena tahan punya. But if you buy literature, music or games with SFW artwork then it is fine.
