I saw someone recommended Jozankei onsen to you...honestly, for me, it was boring...nothing much to see there except going for the onsens. The bus journey for one way was about 1hour++. If you're not into onsen, maybe can skip this. Head to the nearest ski resort if you wanna see snow i.e. Kiroro Snow Resort. If you really want an onsen experience, then Noboribetsu would be a better alternative wink.gif

RC,

need your help blush.gif

Refer to below Pass :
The Marugoto Nikko Kinugawa Free Pass includes the round trip from Tokyo and unlimited travel on trains between Nikko and the Kinugawa and Yunishigawa area and on buses from central Nikko to Okunikko and in the Kinugawa and Yunishigawa area. The pass is valid on four consecutive days.

Just to double confirm, the above pass can take any bus company in Nikko? Or there is only one bus company in Nikko? Thanks!

Go Japan bojio!!!  vmad.gif

Most of the Airbnb units there provide free portable wifi egg.

Otherwise, you can also rent the wifi egg from airports when you arrive. If I recall correctly, was around RM20 a day or so. Depending on company.

Last time I help a friend to buy the travel sim also from Bic. But I can't remember how much already. It was this one: https://t.iijmio.jp/en/

Coming Tokyo trip, I'm just going for Airbnb units that provide wifi egg.

I'm not traveling with you, cannot afford to splurge. tongue.gif
RM100 for 14 days unlimited is a really cheap though.
I see. Hopefully the ones I ask will understand laugh.gif
1GB a day for me alone is good enough. But for 4 then a bit of a stretch.

Then again, mostly be using it for emails, whatsapp, getting around and some bragging on social media only.
January 18-23rd. Just gonna be around Tokyo this time covering what I've not covered tongue.gif
Basically one day DisneySea, another day Tsukiji and more sushi, also planning on day trip Nagano for snow monkeys and another day trip to Kamakura.

Thanks for the info. Good to know. Will try my luck laugh.gif
As I've never use wifi egg from airbnb units in Japan before. Friends didn't mention the quota to me also. The one I used in Seoul didn't have a quota either.
Haha. Which part you will be heading to this trip?

I plan go Tokyo and Nikko only. Need a free stress and relaxing trip........
