ok my mistake

the report must have been pure rubbish

thanks and everyone that goes to Japan is super healthy. Happy for you all GOOD

Airbnb should be OK, just ensure we read through the reviews. My friend stay with Airbnb accommodation before and her review is positive.

I have booked 5 nights accommodation through Airbnb in November too, cost are much much cheaper than staying in Hotel. And the apartment have washing machine and dryer so we can cut down on the luggage space.

Hotels are so expensive in November, might be due to the autumn season.

I dunno what kind of hotel you find. I always can get Rm 300 below hotel in city beside Train Station.
but booking time only allow 3 month advance.

I give you a clue. Dormy Inn
Got alot more....But I won't spoon feed directly.

I arrive Kansai Airport at 10.30pm too and have decided to overnight in Airport to save the hassle for rushing and also one night hotel cost.

Kansai airport have airport lounge, and I read that by applying as member, you get 50% discount. So staying in the airport lounge wasn't that expensive. But their website mentioned that kids below 18 are not allow to stay in the airport lounge from 22:00 to 05:00. Can consider this option if you travel without kids.

Rulez in Japan are extremely Strict. Such as hotel Room 2 people one room means 2 people one room. Don't ever think rent a room but stay 3 - 4 people like we usually do in Malaysia. They have right halau another 2 people out from hotel or total black list you plus penalty super heavy fine as cheating

I didn't cheat, all the accommodation I booked are for 3 adults though we are 2 adults + 1 kid.

Im happy oso
but need at least 5years to know the result
next year Mar11, u can ask RegentCid how is his health

oh it is pretty obviously YOUR MISTAKE

fyi nobody think the report is rubbish
it is just "U" who DONT UNDERSTAND the report/radiation

Thanks for the information and suggestions. I'll take them into consideration.

I did want a loose itinerary since I'd rather stick to Tokyo for my first visit. But more people means more demand. I myself aware of the serious repercussions of underestimating Japan. Easy to manage by myself or fewer party member with similar mindset.

Need to discuss again with my friends. My first concern is getting to hamamatsucho and get nearby airbnb around minato IF I can get one and host understanding that we'll arrive pretty late in the midnight. A good night landing and rest plus a secure place to store bags and luggage is a must for me since I'm thinking of getting full Sunday treat at yoyogi Park in the morning and akihabara walks in the afternoon.

I'm consider getting wifi service reading that free wifi might bit of hassle in much needed situation.

I'm also a bit concerned about viewing koyo since my date are rather early and need to go somewhere higher to experience full autumn leaves. From my comparison of koyo dates in Japan-guide over 3 years my chance might be in Nagano or Tateyama. Any other suggestions. Wouldn't mind going around a bit but no complicated route just simply go see and get back to Tokyo without much distractions.

However I might consider a strict itinerary if there's not much option.

thanks for the earlier answers..

another dumb question, do Japan immigration officers take your fingerprint and crosscheck with your passport before letting u pass?

check passport, finger print + picture.

what's the current weather situation in japan (kansai area)? will be going there tomorrow and was hoping to prepare the appropriate necessities.

You can check the weather information here http://www.jnto.go.jp/weather/eng/index.php

Your friends are probably just weak la.

Or body stressed up due to traveling.

Or ate something wrong.

Or sat beside some sick guy on the plane.

RegentCid so touching....manly tears come out edi

Haha... I travelling to jpn in oct also but is 20th till 29th.

1st timer to jpn indeed very difficult to catch the last train out of airport. I overnite at airport last time.

Airbnb u may need to see ppl review

Last time i travel alone to jpn n i cant read jpnese n chinese but no problem to me. Tokyo can consider one of the city that easy to travel around as long as u do ur study well b4 u go.

Ending part?
