Day 3 Impossible. If you put Inari Shire at Middle. Because morning you already spent so much of energy on walking.
I always put Inari Shire at Morning. Less people , peaceful and alot energy to attk the Top of Hill.
After Inari Shire then Kiyomizu Temple because same. Need climbing. Put all Climbing stuff at morning before noon.
Higashiyama Area put behind after all climbing part. can slow slow walking.

O.o thanks for the info, i didnt know there is international warranty for camera purchased from Japan. Do i have to pay extra for the international warranty?

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.

Hi guys, need some advice here.

End of this year, my university has made it compulsory to make an international trip (visit a university of that country) for each class in my batch, it will be our final year project. So  my class has chosen Japan. I really need some help here, I would just like to know is it a good idea to travel to Japan? Our uni has given us a fund of only RM5000 for the whole class. Basically the other funds we have to come up with our own. We are planning to find for sponsors and in the meantime, fund raising. We have 20 people. We plan to go between Nov-Dec '16

Questions:-

1)Is RM3k per person enough for the trip? (Including hotel, air fee, transportation, etc.)
2)Could you guys please break down the estimated expenditure per day/person
3)Other country suggestion?

I'm basically in charge of the Logistic (transportation, hotels etc.) . We choose Japan because most of the other countries has been blocked by other classes.

Advice is needed guy, thanks in advance.

Japan so big , Which University in Japan you plan to Visit?
Each City have thier own expenses.
Tokyo will be the highest

Praise be to roushi RegentCid for recommending Saitou in Iriya, Tokyo.

Had a trip on early January and opted for this for brunch.

The closest station is the Hibiya Line Iriya station but you can take the Yamanote Line to Uguisudani Station and walk about 10 mins there.
(That's what I did)

I feel pleased.

Ginza are tokyo most high end area. Most expensive rental in whole Japan. All high end restaurant only able to rental that area. The food will be very expensive due to high rental and famous.

I got alot Tips on Ginza but with that 4000 Yen budget, Nothing fit into my Tips list.
Min 12000 - 27000 Yen Per Pax

4000 Yen Per pax only can eat curry rice + tonkatsu
