Can afford and willing to pay is a different story.
My record is still same as you 30k yen/pax and that only once! My average meal for whole day is now about 2000 yen if I were to eat out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I think most mall close at 9pm and not 10PM

I dont think there are such website. If you want cheaper ticket you might get it in some shops in Tokyo that buy and sell tickets.

PS: Do you need to use CAPS??

Where are you going with Tokaido shinkansen????

For ANA, did you select economy lowest price? If yes you need to change it to economy flexible.

Yes, so my suggestion is to buy return and forego the KUL-NRT. Thats what I normally do.

You can find the info here.

Go to Jackroad in nakano broadway. Nice place to get your watches that is cheaper in the market. And you get tax free!

They watches you find in Jackroad, dont think you can find it at premium outlet. They sell mostly luxury watches and used one too.

Another 5.0 earthquake this morning. Third one in the last 5 days...

Its about right if in Tokyo. For me normally I just have a tshirt and a jacket that is not too heavy.
This is simply because if you get indoor (including public transport) its damn hot! Example today in Tokyo its about 24C and they turn off the aircon in the bus!! Its like an oven inside....

Thats the Obon period in Japan, and most tourist place will be full of people

I have climb Mt Fuji a few during my younger days and actually its not that difficult. Now of course will definitely be a big ask! Of the many times I did there was one time I fail to reach the top due to typhoon. I reached the 8 station in the middle of the night and suddenly it started to rain heavily with strong wind. Stuck outside of the small hut a few hours with lots of people for a few hours. Once the storm die down I quickly cabut. Hence before you climb you really have to check the weather.....though it might not be accurate as you are "high up there". Besides that you will also encounter "traffic jam". Lots of people especially senior citizen will be making their way up.

Travel to HK from Tokyo very often. If you look sometimes Cathay and ANA prices are about the same as Vanilla Air especially if you plan your trip early.

Sleeping on the tatami is just one part of the experience. Most ryokan are small and you can enjoy the onsen more as there are less people. Some you can even booked it all to yourself and family or if willing to pay you have an onsen in your room. Besides that you will also be able to enjoy the food they serve. If you just plan to stay in ryokan without the dinner/breakfast, I suggest you just find a normal hotel that has tatami room.

Unfortunately dont know much about ryokan in Osaka. Normally those I go to are quite kampung and on a discount. There is a TV show with website that shows a bargain but mostly on weekdays. Once a while will take a day of work to enjoy with my wife. As for ryokan with private onsen, you might get it with RM1K...but that only per person. If two for two person, its difficult

Nothing special. Malaysia chicken are much better especially kampung chicken. Here most chicken are processed chicken and you cannot find those "live chicken" like we do in a wet market in Malaysia. Hence not good in making soup. Specialty in Japan is still beef if you are talking about meat.

Then just plan your budget like you would do now. Add maybe 10% to inflation, another 50% to accommodation and maybe 50,000yen for the tickets for opening/closing. All is just a guess as its 4 years away. And I think you will be very lucky if you manage to buy the tickets

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.

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??
