QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Jan 14 2016, 01:15 PM) no..based on what i checked...it's landing at Narita...then transit to Haneda...from there fly to Kansai ANA also flies from NRT direct to Kansai (ITM, not KIX) leh. Just that possibly there are issues with pricing (more expensive) or timing. Example ANA 816 (KUL-NRT) reach Tokyo 3pm Then ANA 2177 (NRT-ITM) reach Osaka 6.15pm

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jan 14 2016, 11:57 AM) michlove Virgin trip in Hokkaido? Sapporo if you want to do window shopping or normal shopping got Pole Town (underground shopping area from odori to susukino station) and tanukikoji. But most interesting shopping place for me in Sapporo is Mitsukoshi, the depachika two floors, super super nice. Dunno issit correct season or not but buy shine Muscat grape, super sweet plus juicy plus gotch some flowery aroma that other grape don't have. If go pole town look for kinotoya bake, the cheese tart super gooding. I'm going with 6ppl! Thanks for the tips!

QUOTE(zeronuker @ Jan 14 2016, 08:42 AM) Hello all! I'll be travelling to Tokyo, Japan in February. I wanna ask your opinion on rental of portable wifi. I've read the one recommended in this forum, the Puru Wifi Rental. Anybody got any experience with it? Anybody here would recommend any other brand? I'm looking to rent for 10 days and to pick up and drop off at Narita. I'll be using it mainly to not get lost in Tokyo and Youtube for my children. There are free wifi hotspot via wi premium. U can scan ur passport at their kiosk. Not sure where is the location in narita but @ haneda, it is beside the keihin line station opposite of JR monorail. Otherwise, just for location, open ur googlemaps in msia & view all the location detail that u want to go. DO not clear any historical data or cache. Once u're in Japan, just open the googlemap and your free gps will pinpoint to ur current location and u able to view the maps in detail without any data. For youtube, just use the hotel free wifi lah

As for Visa I think its 5%....I cannot remember... I was there yesterday and saw the Visa rebate but cant remember the number. But its not always they have this Visa discount. Tax free they sure have.

Most important stuff are your Camera Charger adapter are input 110V. Do not direct plug into Malaysia Socket. Malaysia 240V will direct burn your camera charger adapter and burn your camera.

I've rented from Global Advanced Communications on both trips to Tokyo and can confirm they work fine at Enoshima, Kamakura, Hakone as well. If you're not getting the unlimited one, try to stay off YouTube or you'll be sorry. Don't get the eco/slim types unless you've got an extra power bank around to resuscitate it by afternoon.
