QUOTE(RegentCid @ Mar 11 2015, 11:58 PM) Super weird route. I didn't notice Takayama until you pointed out. Should be Osaka > Nagoya(Takayama) > Odawara (Hakone) > Tokyo.   |

QUOTE(gid @ Mar 12 2015, 11:42 AM) Need to ask sifus here.. A week in Osaka? I think you can do Osaka in 2 or 3 days, you should spend time at Kyoto and Nara and other places in Kansai. If travelling around osaka for a week, is there any tourist offer for multiple train ride? I saw a lot of type of discount card for train but not sure are the separated by different company.  Take Kansai Thru Pass, I love this pass so much that I keep telling people to get this pass if they plan to travel Kansai region. |

QUOTE(myhn @ Mar 15 2015, 12:22 PM) wow expensive ... ok tq 4 d info Food, you can still sacrifice. Buy cheaper food from Family Mart or anything but transportation you cannot save.Well, as you know Japan transportation is very efficient and obviously that comes with a cost. I spent around 4.2k for my 9 days trip for food, transportation, souvenirs and gifts for the special one.  Souvenirs are not cheap in Japan. Also, I stayed at my friends' house so those costs didn't cover accommodation. This post has been edited by fruitie: Mar 15 2015, 12:37 PM |

QUOTE(alygonecrazy @ Mar 18 2015, 03:56 PM) is it better to change MYR to YEN in Japan or in Msia, in terms of better rate? Do they accept MYR? MYR is valueless for them, in fact MYR is not widely acceptable in money changers around the world. Just change everything here and if it is not enough, withdraw money from ATM but make sure you activate overseas withdrawal from your local bank first before you go. |

It's not available in any of the airports. 1. is iijmio available at kansai airport? i try to search from the point of sale on the website, but all in japan...  My current travel plan, 2. I planning to get Icoca & Haruka packages during my arrival at kansai international airport, but it seems it is not possible to use regular IC cards for riding the shinkansen and i am gonna traveling to Seta (Shiga) as my hotel locate there, so i have to buy regular ticket for shinkansen (tokaido, kyoto --> seta (shiga)? 3. and there is 2 card for Icoca & Haruka packages? 1 is for Haruka (Return Ticket to Kansai Airport) and 1 Icoca prepaid card.  My friend got for me when she was in Osaka and brought it back to KL for me. |

QUOTE(FatBoyDrifter @ Mar 31 2015, 12:52 PM) Guys.. need your opinion.. having this issue to decide on which service to go to for wifi rental... I heard that Pupuru has good repo.. but I found out the price is most expensive.. Found this company "Econnect Japan Inc" quoting good price.. but worried if signal is not so good. If you have the option to purchase SIM, then you can consider Iijmio SIM. It is by Docomo and I was using it for my Japan trip. Information on first post. |

It seems travelling in a group is more worth than alone huh?
I spent about the same amount for 9D8N too but excluding flights and accommodation. |

QUOTE(MoneyMaker prince @ Apr 7 2015, 10:14 AM) Dear all, This is the question will get sarcastic replies later. All my friends said that there are risk of radioactive in Japan. Can anyone verify this because I wish to go Japan one day too. Cheers! There are few of them in this thread live in Japan. So yeah, they will get that worse than you since you are going for a holiday only. Follow your heart and if everything is restricted, then there is no fun anymore. I went to Japan for 9D in Jan-Feb, I don't think of it so much and just went. I have so many friends now in Japan holidaying, I think the cherry blossoms view worth for it. |

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Apr 7 2015, 03:33 PM) So, good dslr is a must for travelling? I used to have Canon EOS 5D + L lenses with me. Brought the entire arsenal to Beijing trip and I gave up on them after that.Now I'm using Fujifilm X-T1 + few Fujifilm lenses. Quality is on par or even better than some DSLRs. Anyway, still skills are important before equipment. |
