Day 3 Impossible. If you put Inari Shire at Middle. Because morning you already spent so much of energy on walking.
I always put Inari Shire at Morning. Less people , peaceful and alot energy to attk the Top of Hill.
After Inari Shire then Kiyomizu Temple because same. Need climbing. Put all Climbing stuff at morning before noon.
Higashiyama Area put behind after all climbing part. can slow slow walking.

ok sifu, thanks for the advice, will change it to morning

We just came back from Japan last year November. During our last visit, I have put Fushimi Inari early in the morning and we started to hike up to the peak of Mount Inari as early as 7am, no crowd and fresh air. It took about 2-3 hours to complete the course. We went to Nishiki market and Kodaiji after Fushimi Inari and already damn exhausted after all the walking, so have decided to drop the Kiyomizu-Dera night illumination.

Hence, I am just wondering the day 3 per Lee90's itinerary is it too much? We went 3 places also exhausted already, my smart phone shown that we have walked 28k steps and about 21km for that day.

i doubt too, might just skip some places i think, but i don think im going to hike the peak to top of inari, they say nth to see up there right?

what camera u're buying, i did some research for DSLR price b4,
Japan price is higher than MY even u have deduce the tax
the price would be Japan>MY>SG>HK>China
China is the cheapest.
*
i plan to buy Canon EOS kiss x7 aka EOS 100d in malaysia
yea, i heard China the cheapest
based on kakaku.com, the price is cheaper than Malaysia but if compare to yodobashi or bic camera website, its about the same price as Malaysia
unless like others said, bic camera can get 8% tax rebate + 8% visa rebate? not sure tho icon_question.gif

If you go to the shop, yes you can get the tax rebate. As for Visa I think its 5%....I cannot remember... I was there yesterday and saw the Visa rebate but cant remember the number. But its not always they have this Visa discount. Tax free they sure have.

oic, then should be cheaper i guess, about RM1800+ for 2 lens set
in MAlaysia its about rm2200 above for 2 lens set .. haha rclxms.gif

Most important stuff are your Camera Charger adapter are input 110V. Do not direct plug into Malaysia Socket.
Malaysia 240V will direct burn your camera charger adapter and burn your camera.

doh.gif , i thought mostly charger input 100-240v?

For those photographers, don't forget to visit "map camera" @ South western corner of shinjuku Station. This is a heaven for those seeking 2nd hand cameras & lenses. So many choices at reasonanle prices.

You can't find such a huge collection of 2nd hand cameras & lenses anywhere in msia. Within that area, there are also 2 more such establishment but smaller.

Yea, most likely.

What I can say is GAC standard wifi I used it for 2 weeks in Tokyo and the Hokkaido mountains and every day it surely tahan lasak from early morning to late night without worrying about carrying extra power bank.

wa, so tahan ah! geng wor!! but if econnect come wif powerbank then i don mind oso since its cheaper comparing to gac right? blush.gif

I juz booked my pocket wifi with e-connect. Will pick up at Osaka Airbnb. Reason for choosing econnect is that they answer all my question via email on time.

For GAC i email them for first time, they didn't want to answer my question instead ask me to book directly and fill the form at their website and tell me they will answer my question there. But after i submit the form, still they didnt answer my question and straight ask me to pay them. really disappointed with their service.

Those long Leg Crab sure very expensive.
Most Powerful are Alaska King Crab.  One leg need around 7000 Yen (Market Price) Restaurant Price around 10000Yen
2nd was Fukui Crab ((Echizen)). 3 Crab Leg around 6500 Yen (Market Price) Restaurant price around 8000 Yen
3rd will be Hairy Crab. Almost same as Chinese Mitten Crab. This one one whole crab course meal around 4500 - 7000Yen
That the Huge price gap diffrence.

Kanidoraku honten Osaka still the best but alot of people. Price most wise with most variety of crab meal.
One person around 5000 Yen.
Most people going Kandoraku eating thier set meal. Most price wise but comes with hairy crab. Still very delicious.

Compare to Echizen....still far off...LOL ~~~

ok! thanks sifu for the info rclxms.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
