Time is running up and I just exchanged 100k yen today. Hopefully it is enough for me to cover all my expenses in Japan.

Worried and excited at the same time. Not sure what will happen to me.

Now I'm thinking to skip Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka and take a bus instead. For the cheaper alternative.

Not sure if this has been posted before.

On March 14, 2015, the NEX Tokyo Direct Ticket will be discontinued and replaced by the NEX Tokyo Round Trip Ticket. The new ticket will provide a round trip from the airport into Tokyo/Yokohama and back to the airport within a 14 day period. Unfortunately, the cost will increase to 4000 yen, effectively reducing the discount over regular tickets to "only" 33-55 percent. A one way option will not be available.

Flight is cheap but you have to take train from City to Narita Airport first.  NEX already cost u 3000 Yen per way
From Kansai Airport to Osaka by Haruka Express another 3000 Yen

Flight is cheap but you forget Transportation hidding fees from Airport to City...
So Bus still wiser choice

u oni need to reach the location rite?
yes u can do it and it wont be brutal...

and u forget to squeeze in hakone and gotemba oso

my alternative suggestion,
when u reach osaka... the first place u can go is nagasaki, then hiroshima, nagoya, yokohama, then aomori, sendai and finally tokyo... 5days definaltely more than enuf...
oh if possible pls squeeze in either sapporo or naha

tat is how ppl able to do whole europe tour in 11days
fyi japan is oni 1country and u got 5days... THAT IS A LOT
   

Guys, From what i see from the net, Osaka sakura full blown around Apr 05. If i going to Osaka on Apr 11, still possible to see Sakura?

anyone here managed to change their Nagoya flight?

My flying date is 2 months away, have not received anything from AAX since they announce cancellation of route.

I tried the online chat (1 hour wait), gave me an invalid email to enquire

Go to their sales office in KL sentral to amend. It will be faster. I did that too the last time i forgot to add my baby in the flight

Pocket wifi got =D. 6627yen for 10 days, shared by 4 people. Under Misc category

Gotten from here: http://www.rentalwifi.com/ I took with insurance.
Once reached Narita, pick up package from Post Office. Before departure, dropped it into a post box in Kansai Airport

Edit: On food, we didn't overly splurge on food as we tried many budget food too like Sukiya/Yoshinoya/Mos Burger/100 yen sushi/convenience store food. But RM90/day is inclusive of many kinds of snacks and instant noodles too. I believe if you want to experience more expensive food, you can budget for higher.
