i hope u didnt plan wrongly
coz the hotel checkin time is 3pm and the checkout time is 10am
u will waste alot of time in between this

my advise, dont do double backing
it is very important to rent locker!!!
this u can continue shop and save time from traveling back

in gora, hakone, the last tram is 7pm
if possible dont stay in gora, very inconvenient
and check owakudani is it still close due to volcano activity

haha those r budget traveller

u didnt see how those kuailow travel long term meh
super budget planning
never eat at hotel! no coffee (beer is okay )
never take tour, all using bike/bicycle/or hiking on their own (no 4x4)
most of the time the food is from convenient shop

im not surprised if they told me RM10k can travel whole asia

in japan the food from convenient shop is also part of the culture
most of them u cannot find in msia

ohh FYI Michelin 1star is only 800yen

Fuji Subaru 5th Station, pls book the ticket 1day before

the station staff is not friendly
sometime the staff told u the bus is not going to 5th station,
but they never tell u... u can actually go half way

fyi sometime the bus operate when the weather is right without telling anyone
u can still try ur luck... go queue at the ticket counter very early in the morning

i bought alot of thing there
i think half of 7-11 i taupau back home

jus wan to try alot of stuff
seriously... i did tat

wah got ranking

now im interested

Disney Sea for adult
Disneyland for kids

end of story
---
some believe soy sauce / wasabi mask the fish freshness
the correct way is to mix it as minimal as possible, this is the correct way to eat regardless

and i dip the soy on the rice most of the time
-> coz rice is tasteless by itself
haha

Universal Studio JAPAN

in tokyo no need change hotel!!!
remember... in japan check in is after 3pm, checkout is before 10pm
u will waste alot of time here
just stay in shinjuku

---

almost... lunch ‎¥‎800, dinner ‎¥‎8000
my tips:
-> pls queue at least 45mins before it open
-> dont order raw sardine i love sushi, but not this
---

unless u hv special reason to change hotel... like test on all the hotel, u do it lo
like sacwoc said jus prepare to pack/unpack and drag around ur baggage

at first i tot ur itinerary feel like stamping trip
but since this is solo trip, i think ur whole trip is achievable since u can control ur own timing
enjoy
---

RM3.5k is very hard for me
coz on everytrip i will at least try one of the best food around
usually this course set cost me RM600 - RM1.2K per meal

i went to SBF b4, but not asahi...

SBF got bus to transport u to their "demo" factory,
they got guide for english/japanese (cant remember clearly)

they hv game in between the history and manufacturing process tour,
jus a random question, u can win Beer Can Coin Bank... of coz it is a sapporo beer can

after all finish, they will let u try 3 different draft beers
(cant remember how many can drink, FREE )

to conclude the tour, u can start your SHOPPING TIME mode
Sapporo Beer Classic (limited edition, not sold outside)!!!~
Choco, all non halal alcohol based choco
Wine... (forget)

Most of ppl goto Lake Toya and Nororibetsu at the same time
especially during the summer

@Lake Toya, they hv firework event during the whole summer
and the firework start at 7/8pm nite
a disappointment for a firework...

but the mini town is not bad for holiday
a true place to relax... WITHOUT doing anything
nice scenery, walking park, boat ride and ONSEN!!!~

use google maps to plan ur itinerary

it show route to take, train type, train/bus fare, train schedule, first/last train...

and u can even bookmarked it n sync to ur phone, so u wont miss it

no need etc, jus pay cash
not many highway required etc

ohhh just to inform u
since u r going on Nov, that mean Winter is Coming...
-> depend on your luck... if it snow on tat day, the second part of cable car might be close for the day

this is really bad if u planned to hike to mount top (really nice view, and freezing cold )
but dont be disappointed, u can be a little bit adventurous
-> u just need to hike it...
abit dangerous la... few ppl told me they to do it anyway
