Your friends should give back that 12k Yen. Shame on your friend.
Japanese won't steal anything even is very expensive thing. Their moral level was very high and well educated since pre-school. They been teach found anything not belong must return to lost and found section.

I been at Japan more than 12 years.  Lost 6 - 8 times Wallet , over 20 times on Phone. Always can get back.  So far lost rate 0%
Mall , Airport , Themepark , Restaurant , garden

i planning backpack to tokyo this coming november. wanna ask sifu here.. what is the average price for a meal in tokyo?

cos wanna calculate budget.  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

range from JPY500 to JPY1000

bfast: less than JPY500 u can get coffee n some bread at local convenient shop
lunch n dinner: less than JPY1000 u can get those rice/mee based stuff with chicken/meat/seafood n soup n free flow ais kosong

so it would be safe to budget around JPY1500 to JPY2000 per day for makan only
budget abit extra cuz sometimes street food n vending machine can be so tempting

Hello,

I am headed to JP end 19th Mar - flying into Centrair. I plan like below is it ok: I think mostly towards end of the trip only can see Sakura.

19-20 - Nagoya
21-23 - Takayama & Shirakawago
23-25 - Kanazawa & Toyama
26 - Nagashima Spaland + shopping at Nagoya
27 - return

But i have some ques:

Shirakawago and Gokayama is very similar, do you know which is preferable?

Anyone uses B-mobile before?

I will use JR Takayama Hokuriku pass (5days), those days in Nagoya is meguru or daypass. Is there any other pass that covers Centrair to Nagoya or only Meitetsu available

+ i think first few days coincide with spring equinox (public holiday) should i be worried of terrible congestion? Plan to reserve seats for Wide View Hida

Thanks alot
*
I believe gokayama should be similar as shirakawago, maybe michlove can share.
If hv another chance, would go for gokayama just to escape from the flock of tourist.

Me and my wife plan to travel to Osaka-Kyoto-FujiMt-Tokyo by next month

Hotel already booked. Our concern are should we buy the weekly train pass during our stay at Japan or should we buy individual ticket whenever need to use the train?

JR Pass only can buy outside of Japan. Exchange when arrive in Japan.
availability of exchange is 3 months after the date of your purchase. You can not change the date.

The location listed above are in Japan. Is there anyway to buy the 3-day subway pass for 1500Yen in Malaysia before going?

http://www.tokyometro.jp/en/ticket/value/travel/ <- from the link they say JTB can
so i think u can try JTB at KLCC or bukit bintang.

Hi everyone,

Having my second "trip" to Japan during end May as I am having a biz trip to Tokyo, but will extend for a few days to spend some time with my wife. I intend to visit Takayama and Alpine Route this time. Last year, I have already visited Osaka/Nara/Kyoto/Tokyo/Hakone on a personal trip.

Anyway, I haven't really planned the details/transportation etc, but this is the general flow that I have thought of so far, see if you guys have any feedback:

Friday: Check out from Tokyo hotel, half day in office, then go to Takayama
Saturday: Visit Shirakawa-go then to Toyama
Sunday: Toyama - Alpine Route - Omachi - Matsumoto
Monday: Matsumoto - Kamikochi - Hokuto - Tokyo
Tuesday: Tokyo Disneysea
Wednesday: Narita back to KL

Makes sense?

Muslim? I saw Day 7 , solat at KIX.
You can refer to Page1. Got a info for those muslim travel in Japan. Where to find mosque and halal food.

Oh...forgot u bought the JR Pass.
Anyway, u may want to consider 1 night as kyoto to limit the travelling time.
N u should try to cover on 1 day in kyoto (fushimi inari, kyomizu, philosopher path, kinkaku, gion)
Then 2 day arahishiyama (is huge n u need more than half day)

If go solo is doable, but not sure with parent can tahan all these jalan or not.
If penat then skip few places la, n the 500yen bus can cover most area in Kyoto FYI

Last year i went to kyoto, they have a lot of leaflet about halal food n mosque/praying area around Kyoto.
U can get it from kyoto tower tourist info center (opposite kyoto station), inside there got praying room already
