So my spending is considered OK because I thought mine is bad.
Around 4.2k (excludes flight and accommodation) for 9D8N at Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
Stayed at my friends' house in Tokyo and Kobe.

Get iijmio SIM card. Information I have shared before and already on first post.

Brastel is for calls option only. For data, I don't think it can be reloaded.

I was using it on my iPad Mini and it has LTE.

I love Kobe maybe because I stayed there and my friend is there, I feel carefree when I was there. She's always there to bring me everywhere and fluent in Japanese.

It's really a peaceful city and my friend said she makes the best decision ever for accepting the job position in Kobe rather than Tokyo. She was studying in Tokyo for 2 years and she dislikes that kind of hectic life. In Kobe, everything is slow and steady. Moreover, she's earning the same pay scale as Tokyo folks, so why not?

She brought me to a Sushi restaurant which is just opposite of her apartment and it only costs 1000 yen per plate for all choices. We ate our heart out.

100 yen.

I cannot recall but ate a lot.

That aside KLIA2 is still a much better airport compared to LCCT.

I had 8-piece sashimi for 1000 yen at Tsukiji Market. I don't know how to appreciate sashimi but since I thought I was in Japan should try once before I left.

I just simply walked into one of the stores, whichever I think that is good.

I went to Tsukiji but not like 3-4 a.m.
I went there around 10 a.m., walked around and had brunch there.

I don't know. I had 100 yen sushi in Kobe.

I went to Fujiko F Fujio Museum because I'm a huge fan of Doraemon.
I like the place but my opinion could be biased.

It has different companies, so you can Google and will show you different results.
I bought SIM card.

Not needed. Free and easy, once allowed to go in is 90 days.

My friend helped me to buy during her trip, from Umeda Osaka.
The bad thing is it cannot be bought from airports but it is sold in most of the BIC camera shops.
Around 4.5k yen if I'm not wrong, 2GB for 3 months validity.
Info on first post, Iimjio SIM card.

It is winter that time... So of course need to wear winter clothing.
I was in Osaka in early Feb this year, to me it wasn't as cold as in Tokyo probably the wind was stronger in Tokyo.

Mobile WiFi is basically for you to share data. However, these days MiFi comes with apps and you can use it to receive/send SMS.

If you want to make calls, then MiFi is not capable to do so. If you just want data, then MiFi is fine.
MiFi also accepts SIM cards that can make calls but it just locks to data and SMS (using apps for some MiFis) but cannot make outgoing calls.

No ah. Just show your passport and they will flip for few pages if they want and you will get those passes at discounted rate.

Kansai Thru Pass for the win! I love this pass so much and I was in Kansai for 5 days, so bought one 3-day and 2-day ticket.
