hi all, looks like the wifi eggs from KLIA ran out from travel recommend and wiyo, if i want to grab a sim card from 8 days in Narita, whats the steps and price?

thank you

what type of car you booked ? 660cc or 1300cc ?
As far as i know, i booked a 1300cc Honda FIT for 7 days in oct, total ~46980(with 1080/day insurance) without ETC+HEP.
extra ETC+HEP need 540+7700 , end up total ~55220.

i also booked Honda Fit. but not include ETC.

How come yours so cheap without ETC, but with HEP ?
and with pocket wifi some more, how to get this deal ?

Get ready to feel oven heat sensation.
Tokyo summer avg temperature are 34 -38 Celsius.
Must bring umbrella and UV protection stuff.

Must go Enoshima beach. Full of bikini girls now.
How to go Enoshima can refer to Page 1

Hi Sifu. Had to revise the route of my plan as much lesser hotel options during weekend at Sapporo (especially my favourite Mercure). Could you help to take a look and comment as needed?

7th Nov - Arrive CTS 8AM. Explore around the airport and pickup car at 11AM. Drive to Sapporo (~49KM) and spend 2 nights at Mercure Hotel (tentative)

8th Nov - Stay at Sapporo

9th Nov - Drive to Otaru (~38KM). Spend the night at Grand Park Otaru. Plan to visit Otaru Canal, Citi Museum, Railway Museum, Sakaimachi Street

10th Nov - Drive to Lake Toya (~115KM). Spend the night at Granvillage Toya Daiwa Ryokan Annex (tentative)

11th Nov - Drive to Hakodate (~164KM). Spend the night at either Hakodate Kokusai or Hakodate Grand. Plan to visit Mt. Hakodate at night, Fort Goryokaku, Red Brick Warehouses and Asaichi morning market. I think can just park at hotel and walk to these places

12th Nov - Drive to Muroran/Noboribetsu (~213KM). Plan to visit Jigokudani and Shiraoi Ainu Museum. Spend the night at Dormy Inn Higashi Muroran Natural Hot Spring or Hotel Route Inn Higashimuroran Ekimae (tentative)

13th Nov - Drive back to Chitose to return car and spend the night at airport hotel

14th Nov - 9AM flight home. Free shuttle from hotel to airport

SnoopyDevil a side note on grand park Otaru, when I stayed there last year the room was super smelly (smoke). Had to leave the windows open in order not to suffocate at night. I don't know if they offer non smoking rooms, but something for you to consider if they don't.

For Hakodate, Hakodate grand is a very tired and dated hotel. Also, red brick warehouse area and the cable car to mt Hakodate area are walkable. Asaichi morning market is barely just walkable (25-30mins?), fort goryukaku need to take tram. When I went I visited the morning market twice: once at night specifically for uni don, and the next morning again for more 'normal' kaisendon.

For noboribetsu, porotokotan was the most shittiest attraction I ever visited in Hokkaido. Unless you're really interested in learning about the Ainu, can consider to give it a miss. Also your choice of hotel is 👎🏿👎🏿, go noboribetsu must go to RegentCid approved dai ichi takimotokan!!!!

I see, sounds like a plan! haha. thanks Sifu! We arriving on 4/9 around 10.30pm (based on Air Asia schedule) should be stay at the airport till morning or we can make it to the hotel yea?

I'll be most likely getting this. https://t.iijmio.jp/en/index.html#service_overview

And get it from JTB in Malaysia. http://jtbmalaysia.com/japantravelsim/
Which is most likely more expensive than getting it from Narita airport itself, but save some hassle.

Sometimes its not just the temperature. Its the humidity. Everyday when I reach my office I am already sweating even though the walk from the train station to my office is only 5 mins.

TQ sir! will take note about Grand Park Otaru. haven't decided yet actually cause the reviews are nice. Any recommended place to stay at Otaru?

Thanks for the tips for Hakodate. I only went to Grand before so thinking of going back, but any other better place is welcome Will be driving to Goryukaku nevertheless.

Took a peek at dai ichi takimotokan... expensive wei nearly 1K per night and i need 2 rooms will break my budget trip planing

Is my overall route good to go?

dai ichi takimotokan have 3 type of room
2 Pax , 5 Pax , 8 Pax Room

Those City hotel can go cheap choice but when comes to Onsen Hotel must go luxury.

cant agree more with it.
City's hotel almost same everywhere unless there is something special about the hotel.
Pension house, Ryokan & Onsen Hotel are specially available at certain area only.

drive so far to Hakodate, only spent 1day there?
how bout sapporo > otaru > hakodate > lake toya > noboribetsu > chitose

@otaru dont miss the music box and they r famous for confectionery
