For those who bought KUL-NRT AirAsia ticket and is taking a reroute via DMK, purchase your luggage before you change your schedule, so you don't need to pay extra luggage fees. The person I spoke to was really nice, and he asked me to buy luggage first before he changed the itinerary for me so I don't have to pay extra.

I'm taking an early flight to DMK, spending a day in BKK before going to airport again for the night flight. Might as well, since I'm stuck with this itinerary.

Going back via Haneda Airport, so don't have to transit. So, play around with your options.

Hi sifus,

Is Harajuku and Shibuya worth going on 1st Jan? I know a lot of shops will be closed, but is it worth it to go walk around? What about at Ginza?

Or else, where else do you recommend to go during 1st Jan (other than temples)?

I'm planning to travel from Tokyo to Kyoto and Osaka and back to Tokyo. I'll buy a JR Pass as I'm going back to Tokyo. Am wondering, do I need to buy another pass for when I'm in Kyoto/Osaka area (if yes, which pass do you recommend), or pay per ride and use JR Pass whenever possible? Cause I'm aware that JR Pass will have little use in that area. Thanks.
