Wrong place to ask. By the way,
Powerbank are not set by Country law, they are set by Airline Company it self. Most airline set 40,000mAh maximum per person. No airline in world allow Powerbank put in checked in luggage. Powerbank only allow handcarry luggage. Do not put ur powerbank in checked in luggage.

Sry nop.
Radioactive need 1000 years only can clean. There a town (Tomioka) near Fukushima Daichi already become ghost town like Chernobyl.

All fishing at Fukushima region sea are ban for 30 years by Govt. Water are seriously polluted.

If you look carefully, All Tokyo high rise and park have radioactive detector.

City can be rebuild, but pollution are seriously big lesson for Japanese. For those going Japan sure need bare your own risk. If scare then just dont go.

Those all tipu bullshit.
When media comes they sure show how good and clean or else no ppl will come visit Japan. The real fact are deep shit. Now they can do is keep monitoring, that why Tokyo city now full of that radiation detector. The sea part already leak, nothing you can do. What they doing are prevent more going into sea only. If water is clean govt wont ban fishing at fukushima sea for 30 years.
What you see is video which already edited by Govt. What I see is my own eye.

What they do is try best to keep it control. The effort they put into control part are best. That one no doubt, they even using their own life to keep control it. But want to keep it back to before 3.11 will be impossible. The Radiation will stay in Japan for 1000 Years and City of Tomioka will be 2nd Chernobyl City forever.

BTW, The topic have to put into Ends. It recall back all my sad memory only, I am one of Victim of 3.11.
From V4 to V8 anytime I see people post ; Japan save for going? I always put reply ''Just go don't care so much, If Scare then don't go" I never put Japan is clean, because from my 505th trip to Japan experience, It will never be clean again like before the disaster 3.11.

Restaurant was serving fusion type. Mixing French and Japanese Cuisine. I not really a fusion type fans.
I don't think I will go for this restraurant.

Kansai Area are even far away from Fukushima daici compare to Tokyo. Radiation will be even more less. Cannot say 0% It will be there...but more less.
Radiation always there. Even you using computer, hand phone also got radiation.
Almost dead because when Tsunami comes I was at Sendai near Airport area. One of deadliest zone.

Too rush. Tokyo most shop closed at 8pm, mall closed at 10pm. You start your trip at 6pm, one akibahara enough keep you stay until 10pm. Your plan are suitable for one whole day.
Unless you reach station take some picture then hop into another station.

6pm to 10pm only 4 hour.
Shinjuku , Shibuya are big area. One of this place enough let you spend 4 hour.

I suggest you go only Shinjuku, because Tokyo Metropolitan Building are nearby. 6 to 10 enjoy Shinjuku. 10 to 10:30 enjoy view on Tokyo Metropolitan Tower. 10:30 until 11:00 Tokyo Dome (your hotel nearby)b


For me I alone can spend 4 hour just inside Shinjuku Station. If want cover entire Shinjuku (my knowledge) need 30 hour

Enjoy. 2 more days will be mine.
Oshima....Discover new land. Hahaha

LOL. If you plan follow me to Izu Oshima. Your husband and cousin friend sure will killed you on spot.


As Pro, I will go Lake Kawaguchiko first.
Main purpose of going Lake Kawaguchiko are see & taking Mt Fuji picture.
Sure put at first. If unlucky, 1st day reaching are raining, foggy , Misty. 2nd day at Hakone still can slot a time back to Lake Kawaguchiko by bus again for snap the picture of Mt Fuji.
Since got the Pass, not need worry the transportation. If you put Lake Kawaguchiko at last. If the weather is fxxx up type then your only chances also no more.


1st thing, There are not such thing called Sagano Station.
For me, My Plan will be From JR Kyoto Station taking JR Sagano Line Line to JR Saga Arashiyama Station.
Then Switch to Sagano Scenic train from Torokko Saga Station to Torokko Arashiyama Station (Enjoy the Bamboo Groves)
Back to Torokko Arashiyama Station again continue by Sagano Scenic train to Torokko Kameoka Station. (Taking Bus to Hozugawa River Cruise Depature Point)
Enjoy the Hozugawa River Cruise to the End Point. (Arashiyama famous Togetsukyo Bridge will beside cruise ending point)
Enjoy Lunch at Page1 (My Arashiyama Tips of the months)
Enjoy Tenryuji Temple.
Back to Kyoto

Cycling around Lakeside at night
Go those local Izakaya. Enjoy food and beer.
Last was Onsen at Hotel // Ryokan enjoying view of Mt Fuji + Lake.

If want extreme then go Page 1 Tips of the Months section with that 1000 Yen bill.
Cycling + Do Camping.

Been there 5 times
Want get there. Do the homework. Come on now days technologies already so good still want spoon feeding.
I been there since 10 years ago. That time only have Paper Map.

Used the Common Sense.
You go there because you are Initial D fans and you going there by public transport?
Sure is Driving. Feel the power like Takumi already.
My latest going there was a Car I rented from ''Toyota Rent A Car'' . Driving Toyota 86GT 2014
https://rent.toyota.co.jp/eng/service/sports.html

Lake Kawaguchiko already so closed to Mt Fuji.
18-55mm on aps-c already suffice but if want bring more zoom as backup also can.
Always have backup plan then no regret.

This one very complicated like JR rail pass.
You have to buy exchange order at Malaysia. Then exchange it at Major Metro Station. Cannot get directly.

The easy one was one day pass.
1500yen per day. Need show passport only.

Tokyo Metro price are very cheap. Actually just need Suica or Pasmo. More worth the money.

No need any JR Rail Pass. If you traveling from Tokyo to Osaka one way only.
Want saving hotel money and JR Rail Pass money. Try the Willer Express (Info at Page1)
At Osaka taking that exclusive JR Yumesaki line from Osaka Station to USJ Station just around 200 Yen per way only. It can be done by Icoca card or Pasmo card or Suica card.
