i don't think we should disallowed/limited topics related travel japan, it's suppose to be fun and joy. why taking it so seriously like someone acting himself as a boss here. we shouldn't control ppl mindset sharing info, it will stop if no one reply into it. I like ppl sharing their grandmother stories here, even though it suppose to be share in kopitiam.

Ya, plus those shop only can sit 8 ppl. Night time whole area will full of people. Everyone will come here lepak for beer and snack. 15 years ago same, 15 years later also same.

Hi, I'm going end of Nov too in a group of 8. We will be entering from Kansai, then Tokyo. Does anyone knows if I can buy the Tokyo metro 3-day pass (1,500yen) before arriving Tokyo?

Online sources mentioned there are travel agencies who sell them only if buying with travel packages. Anyone knows if I can buy from JR West office? TQ

Hi sifus

I booked my tickets to Tokyo narita airport for Oct but I just received email from airasia saying flights to narita will be discontinued and now have the option of arriving at haneda. However the arrival time at tokyo is at 10.30pm. Will this be too tight to catch the train to shinjuku area since the last train stops at 12am?

Alternatively what are the other cheapest options to get to shinjuku area from haneda airport at such late hours?

Once you arrived Tokyo just head to BIC CAMERA (many places also have), they have metro pass and SIM Card for tourists

Check the Tokyo Monorail to Tokyo last train schedule, if you are able to make it on the last train then OK one.

Msia got law personal use is not crime?

I tried to claim back tax refund at Haneda airport somehow it failed as the immigration officer removed my purchase receipt clipped with the passport. Also I couldn't find any tax refund counter at departure hall. Anyone having the same problem too?
