Are you sure? How much is enough? 1k for 1 week?

The cheaper the food, the happier I am So bread/onigiri it is then

Recommended to bring Malaysia Local Dry foods during your trips to Japan such Maggi Cup Noodle..Bread..you will save lots of money  . Based currency exchange now with RM3.50 for ￥100　。

For Transport,you bring fold  bicycle ...sure save lots of Money...

Bring your own tent and sleeping beg. . I assume 3K to 4K are plenty enough for you at least 2 weeks in Japan.

many shops selling a complete meal at 500-600 yen if you are a bit hardworking to find. breakfast eat onigiri good enough.

Last 2 month ago ,landed at Kansai International Airport with luggage 50 kilogram. Full with dry foods..spice .curry powder,maggi,Milo,Basmathi Rice 10kg and other . All  stock until next year 2016. 

Bento set ,Sushi and other food ready made will sell at 50% off discount after 19.30pm...and all item will sold out before 20.00pm before they close at 22.00pm .

Normally available at supermarket such EON and other.

Thank you for the heads up. it's a solo trip.
I don't crave for luxurious stay, more into otaku culture. Most of the souvenirs shall be games and small items. Clothing, depends...

Because you shopping many many

Usually when my family travels, we have 1 check in for 2 person. 1 roller bag for me and my mom, 1 roller bag for my bro and my dad. Each of us will have our backpack and if really needed, 1 extra hand carry roller. One person max one roller, easy to move around.

If backpacking then diff la. My dad is almost 80 years old, so he wants comfort over budget. Hence, not backpacking trip la.

If I go backpacking with my sis then we don't use check in also. 55L can masuk cabin meh?

Real men bring 2x suitcase to Japan, then curse and swear when the escalators from train station to hotel under maintenance and need to lug 20kg each hand down 4 or 5 flights of stairs 😜

Is it true that Malaysian can visit Japan without visa since 2013?

If we r first time visit Japan this mid December, which part of Japan we should go?

2 be truthful, am interested to experience the porn av, do they actually have live preview or a place where these av star jam up/hang out? or studio kind of place where all these porn av are filmed?, can see see see llike visit TVB in HK?? go seoul see K-pop leng lui/cai... my wifey oso interested neh

My Okinawa trip come and go. It was a free and easy trip so only skeletal itinerary and spent most of the time lazying around. Didnt do any island hopping this time. Maybe reserve for future.

Drizzled on and off but still okay. Overall impression, people is friendlier but the local cuisine is really out. The tempura at Ou jima Island is worth a mention. Tried Blue Seal ice cream, recommended by sifus, twice

Speed limit is only 40-50 on non tolled road, so that kinda take the fun out of the driving. Special lanes and the right turn rules are quite confusing too.

Overspent at Kokusai Dori as there are so many things! The okinawa theme shirts are expensive but I still grabbed few pieces as they are too pretty to miss

So you like the Ice Cream? 

RC, can I change MYR to Yen at Kansai airport?

nah.....my Takayama's photo

hi guys,

just wondering if anyone knows what other alternative budget airline to take from KUL to KIX, besides AirAsiaX ... or is that the only option? don't mind exploring connecting flights as well (if there is any).

You only can get ticket at Lawson Convinience Store when you at Japan. Buy few day advance from day you plan to visit.

As a single female traveller, i find pocket wifi good to have. Eliminates some of the stress in case sometimes directions we got earlier are not as clear as i thought, then again maybe i hv lousy sense of direction. But for me its just useful. Since no one to discuss if unsure, it helps to be able to look things up immediately. Also sometimes want to look stuff up that may not have been covered during preparation.

That's just my 2 cents worth.
