QUOTE(waeguk @ Jul 16 2015, 11:50 AM) Going to Osaka soon. You can try SO-NET PREPAID DATA SIM for only 3000yen Any advice on data sim card? Is it best to get from Kansai airport vending machine or cheaper elsewhere? Not sure about the train service if it will be closed at midnight, any idea or alternative options?  You can google it  |

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Aug 16 2015, 11:28 AM) By Law it will be 100% confiscated. What do you think if I throw away all the packaging and left the item only and pretend it is bought in Malaysia and bring along to Japan? LolBut Malaysia .....you know lah.....Custom sometimes are lazy.....you got 50 - 50 chances. If custom officer open your package to check content then bye bye . |

QUOTE(catsper @ Aug 21 2015, 01:46 PM) 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? Once you arrived Tokyo just head to BIC CAMERA (many places also have), they have metro pass and SIM Card for touristsOnline 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 http://www.tokyometro.jp/en/ticket/value/travel/ |

QUOTE(monev88 @ Aug 22 2015, 08:14 AM) Hi sifus Check the Tokyo Monorail to Tokyo last train schedule, if you are able to make it on the last train then OK one.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? |

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?

QUOTE(michlove @ Aug 26 2015, 05:15 PM) huh...i thought when you purchase something at a shop, the tax refund is done immediately at that shop.... The shop staff did ask me to go to airport to claim, that's the last message I was told. |

There are no tax refund counters. Purchases at duty free prices can be made at the duty free stores.
Please show your record of purchase along with your passport at the Customs counter when departing. MAP (The record of purchase will be collected at Customs.) Sources: http://www.haneda-airport.jp/inter/en/faq/...out_tax_refound |
