Damm........300 yen for that much of Champagne grape!!

At Isten same amount that much need Rm120.

yeah man. i told my friends to sapu also.. bought like 4 bunch each person 1

Premium base camera is always expensive or same price. Although at 1 point I found Sony RX100II was RM500 cheaper (when it was launch during the point I was at JP) but too bad is all Jap. The last trip Canon M3 was just launch also, and the price is more expensive than MY price.

DSLR prices are cheaper than MY, but you dont buy DSLR everytime than compact / mirrorless.

Yes, Gundam is damn cheap is like 30% cheaper than MY price, but the boxes do take alot of space although is not heavy.

you can kakaku.com is like amazon, they will tell you what item is the cheaper from which online shop or physical shop. all this thanks to my wife and JP friend, that able to get things for me (my jap is near to zero, when reading it)

as for lenses, survey 3rd party lenses, like Sigma are cheaper you can get there (compare to Canon / Nikon), dont know why. maybe really made in japan. example, I got sigma 17-50mm f2.8 with kenko 77mm filter (japanese hoya) at RM934 after conversation of 3.15. even 2nd hand in MY cant get that price (without filter)

+9000

My first Tokyo trip was in summer and me and my (that time was gf) wife ate SO MANY peaches.

Come back to KL/SG damn disappoint. Isetan / Meidi-ya / Taka here will also import some peaches from Japan every summer but we try few times liao always not sweet, too mushy, not juicy one

yes, waste a lot of space
tat y i oni start shopping on last day

good things is our baggage is calculated based on weight, not volume/space


heheh u should see how i bring back...
everytime my PG rolling on the baggage belt... it attracts alot of envy eyes

yeah man. peach has to be eaten fresh. i tried to smuggle back one box of peaches from Taiwan last time. reach home that time the texture also changed d

bonus: if cannot find peach, must try their peach ice cream as well! damn gooding and got real peach inside. but this is not cheap la

I'm a fruits lovers too... Wonder how much we can buy and bring back Malaysia? Any restriction?

Planned to sapu a lot ... but going March to Sapporo... wonder what fruits can I get beside strawberries...

LOL, wanted to bring back Unicorn PG and sell, but then lazy to go through that as that particular box is crazy big, but not as big as Neo Zeong.

Anyway how do you bring back, as pack as another box for check in ?

Can. Small amout only as personal used. Cannot bring in one whole box.

Btw, Japan fruit have to eat on spot. You bring back to Malaysia already no more juicy.

I think March is only strawberries. Big, juicy and yummy!
oh, and oranges too I plucked freshly from the trees

Hi, any recommendation on ryokan at lake kawaguchi?
Planning to head there during early november. Preferable it come with breakfast and dinner. Also private bath.

it's illegal to bring fruits.. but i've managed to smuggle one whole box of peach and two packs of grapes through taiwan immigration (on separate occasions) but didn't get caught upon arrival in Malaysia.

I'm used to bring fruits into Malaysia such as grapes, oranges, strawberries etc from Taiwan, HK, China etc...

But I will go CRAZY if I see any good juicy fruits with cheaper rate (comparing with Malaysia)...

Thinking to bring back A LOT... maybe not a box la... juz a small box that able to fit in 40L backpack...

I know mango is restricted from oversea... wonder why was tat!?

Actually cannot...But our Custom are too lazy to check. If that day, you are unlucky, All your fruit will be confiscated.

mango inside got a bug call mango seed weevil

Whiskey are aloow bring in Malaysia. Max 1 liters per head only. But Airline regulation 750ml maximum.
That why all whiskey are 750ml

Good Day,

I want to ask, if I go to Hokkaido on the first week of may, will it be good for sakura and pink moss sightseeing? I looked at the hokkaido calendar, it's around that time, just want to double confirm with those who have been there... thanks!

Hmm, I brought more than that (2 bottles more than 1 liter) back MY, but put in checkin bag, as JP Airport dont have stocks and not selling anymore (as this mostly will be hand carry)

Wonder is this consider illegal ?

Yes. Illegal.

Malaysia custom website state very clearly. Malaysia only allow bring in 1 liters of Alcohol per head

And AirAsia website on check in cargo also stated cannot more than 2L of flammable liquid which means High % alcohol.

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.
