Airasia insure doesn't cover route cancellation. They will just offer you either refund or choose another route

I will be in tokyo for 10 days. I will be using metro 3 day ticket, but the ticket is only valid for 3 days. After 3 days, can I purchase another metro 3 day ticket to be used for next 3 days ?

Nope
Advise u oni start to use it when u really start heavy travelling
Such as long distance, alot of interchange and going to area is not cover by metro

Metro not cover eg JR train... Odaiba... othet forget

I will be only travel within the kanto area. For nikko, kusatsu onsen area and hakone, is it advisable to use kanto area pass ?

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Sep 3 2015, 12:19 AM)
I think a few of us here agree that for tokyo, pasmo/suica is a better deal
*
I see the subway map of tokyo city, metropass cover almost 80%, why go for pasmo/suica ?

Hakone are own by Odakyu Company.
Odakyu are Private line which Kanto Pass are useless here.
Subway pass are 1500 Yen for 3 days means one day 500Yen. You can used up that much or not? Means you have to travel around tokyo by metro alot alot per daily only worth it.  Otherwise just get a Pasmo / Suica.
Plus Pasmo card can used on any 7-11 / Dawson / Family Mart too.

Kanto area pass did stop at odawara station right? From odawara I can purchase Hakone pass

Kanto pass cannot used on Kawaguchi / fuji Because this area transport are Private company Fujikyo Monopoly. Going Disney are Metro so Kanto pass are useless. Tobu pass are much useful at Nikko.
Basically Kanto pass useless.
Why waste money? I rather buy Odakyu Hakone pass direct from Shinjuku to Hakone.

Thanks for your feedback. Because I plan to go to minakami and kusatsu onsen area. I check from Japan - guide Web page, the round trip from Tokyo to kusatsu onsen already cost 1000 0 yen. Is there any cheapest alternative ways to go there?

You dont get my meaning.
Buying Rate are Shop buying the Yen from your hand.
Every 1000 yen on your hand ...the shop just give you back Rm23.

Selling Rate are shop selling you Every 1000yen with Rm33 cost.

Dont get confuse.  Btw, refer to previous Page. There is a risk. Willing to take then you can exchange yen at Japan.
Yes. Not only Japan....the whole world are same.
The currency with no quota are USD only because world reconize.

How about haneda airport? Is the rate same with Kansai airport?
