QUOTE(juniorkeat @ Aug 25 2016, 07:44 PM) 1. Is that subway and train is the same in Japan? I go through the map, they look differ... 2. I will travel from tokyo to osaka, as well kyoto, is the worth to buy JR rail pass? 1. Too lazy to type a lot, go and read yourself: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2017.html2. Generally if you do return trip then buy JR pass, otherwise just buy single one-way ticket.

found out that the USJ advance tickets can only be purchased through agencies https://www.usj.co.jp/e/ticket/I have asked Apple Holiday regarding this in FB, but all they did were giving some non-related promos instead if wanted to buy walk-in, will the queue be very long?

Sorry hope i can busybody and answer. For me i use just the international adapter for charger mainly for laptop and phones. All still alive. I believe only if you want to bring back japanaese appliances to use in malaysia then you need tgose converters. And those got different types but thats another thread

Without providing a date its difficult to judge. If its a working day, will be packed with people going to work. As for disney (s), same question as well? When are you going? During holiday season in Japan? Raining season? Hot summer??

QUOTE(ClericKilla @ Aug 19 2016, 06:00 PM) Guys who've been to Arashiyama the Bamboo forest scenery is the must but I do know its congested with tourist. Anybody has met "special time" of the day to go without tourist? Is it early in the morning or late towards evening? Hope to hear some advise here. We went with family and rented bicycles (non-motor powered because motor not available) it made that trip much pleasant. I still have my notes somewhere if you interested. Full of tourist. Lots of china tourist dress in kimono so mistaken for japanese. So sien when i realised. Lol. And very difficult to take nice family photo of the forest without other tourist photobomb. I went first thing in the morning.

No need any voltage converter. Only need was socket Head plug converter only. Malaysia electronic device adapter are 230 Voltage design while Japan only used 110V. But if you buy Japan electronic back to Malaysia then you need converter + Step down adapter. Japan Adapter only 110V. If plug into Malaysia socket. with 1 sec Malaysia 230V will ''goreng'' the adapter + electronic device. This post has been edited by RegentCid: Aug 29 2016, 10:46 AM

Btw, I want to go Mount Fuji and Hakone from Tokyo in one day. Do I have sufficient time? Or should I do it in two days? My second plan is, if tak sempat go there (Fujit and Hakone) in one day, I want to divide it and go to Hakone and Enoshima beach instead in one day, as I see Hakone and Enoshima just beside each other. Do I have sufficient time to do it in one day (Hakone + Enoshima beach)?

Enoshima + Kamakura are one full day Lake Kawaguchi + Gotemba are one full day.
