You have to buy at Malaysia using RM or CC only.
How can you using Yen at Malaysia?
JR rail Pass you brought at Malaysia just a Exchange Order. Later Reach Japan have to used this Exchange Order change it into JR Rail Pass at Japan Airport // Major JR Station at Travel Service Center.

You have to show them Passport + Exchange Order + Fill in a application form

This is the Exchange Order that buy at Authorize Travel Agency at Malaysia.

Regarding transportation, i would like to confirm.
My itinerary is as below:

2-Apr Travel around Kamakura
3-Apr Kamakura -> Hakone
4-Apr Hakone -> Tokyo

Thus for all modes of transportation we plan to take the train, is there any special passes that are recommended rather than just buying regular tickets?

im so excited now...looking fwd to jan16

About JR pass pricing, they are priced in yen, but you pay it in MYR (cash or credit card).

JTB and HIS both has weekly yen exchange rate figure to determine how much you pay for JR Pass in MYR.

Yes, that's the one

The one I tried was in Higashi Chaya area of Kanazawa.

Hokuriku area is beautiful, very beautiful. I would consider going back there again.

Higashi Chaya is a money sucking place, especially those souvenirs that is made out of real gold...

2-Apr Travel to Kamakura + Enoshima (Refer to Page 1) then back to Tokyo. You no need overnight at Kamakura
3-Apr From Shinjuku > Hakone

Apr 4 - 6 can used Metro-Pass (Refer to Page 1)

Thanks for your recommendations RegentCid.

I noticed the Hakone and Kamakura pass. (that one i'll decide how, since i already got our accomodation through airbnb in kamakura)

As for the metro-pass, is it referring to: JR Tokyo Wide Pass << Click Here ?

Nop

Tips of the Months Section.

hi,

is there any 1-day pass that covers the trains from haneda airport to narita airport + shinjiku / shibuya area?

cause i'll be arriving in haneda but my hotel is in narita. there's a shuttle provided to the hotel from narita airport, once i drop off my luggage then only i can start sightseeing.

thanks in advance.

No.

Because transport connect to Haneda Airport are Private line.

Tokyo sightseeing can used Metro daily Pass.

Tokyo city to Narita no pass. Have to used Pasmo or Suica.

Eh i thought the new tokyo wide pass cover narita as well?
but then 10k yen can't justify there

YER!!!!
i still worry about the schedule although you have teach me.
the price you write 7mins there for the taxi price per person?

Wide pass cover to Narita with JR Train.
NEX train cover by it
But not cover that Skyliner.
