come to think of it... rerouting to kul-dmk-nrt is a better option than kul-haneda.. no need to spend another night unnecessarily.

your flight to dmk, did you choose the 5pm flight or 6.45pm flight? 6.45pm arrive 7.50pm. Need to check out, collect bags and recheck in right?

chose the 6.45pm...

which is why I still cant make my decision which route to take!  rclxub.gif

@limchee: have you bought your luggage? need to buy for both kul-dmk then dmk-nrt? or AA will waive the kul-dmk & dmk-kul luggage? unsure.gif

i bought before the flight cancellation. no i no need to pay anything. not sure for those who havent buy though.

Hi Guys, semi-related to topic, but if you are travelling to Japan in the near future and wanna stay connect with NTT DoCoMo, you can get your SIM locally in Malaysia.

I never been oedo onsen monogatari. I won't do onsen at Tokyo City. Because it doesn't give me ''feel'' that I can get from Onsen Village.
At Tokyo I prefer those small local bath House.

Teppanyaki I would recommended 鉄板焼さと . Around 赤坂駅 (Akasaka Station) [[Tokyo Subway Chiyoda Line]]

Sushi? Emm....Tsukiji  that most famous one. But long Q.  Sushi very hard to get non Q up.
I got one recommended but also need Q......This shop called 波やし . Around 高円寺駅 (Koenji Station) [[ JR Chuo Line]]

Unagi will be 登亭  They got 4 branch. http://www.noboritei.co.jp/
Cheap , and excellent taste
This can make 3 Month punya Tips of the month already............. cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

鉄板焼さとう or 鉄板焼さと?
i cant seem to find 鉄板焼さと on google. got 鉄板焼さとう as result instead.
edit: nvm found it. icon_idea.gif

seems like 波やし need to do advance booking... @@

Recommend this app if you wanna check for rail route and time. A great alternative to Hyperdia. But it's in Japanese only.

TADAIMA!!! I'M BACK FROM A 16 DAYS TRIP IN JAPAN!!!!
16 days is never enough for Japan.

We went to Osaka, Takayama, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Toyama, Kurobe Gorge, Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Matsumoto, Kawaguchiko, Tokyo, Nikko, Karuizawa, Enoshima, Kamakura...

What I hate about Japan? sky gets dark too early, as early as 5pm, so what we can do during the day is very limited.

Fortunately, during my stay, most of the days are clear with blue sky. Only one day at Fuji 5th station with heavy fog, cant see the fuji mountain peak. But we got to see it again at Hangetsusan, Nikko 300km away the following week.

Time to plan for my next trip!~
