Golden week means the 1 full week, Japanese are having holiday.

Same story as if we have long holiday in Malaysia. Most places will be crowded. Even accomodation also hard to find.

Japanese are Holiday too.
Transportation will be fully booked. Almost impossible for you if plan to City Hopping.
Onsen Village area such as Hakone will be very crowded.
Hotel price will twice expensive.

Never used visondata. Currently, I have booked travelrecommends wifi since they are doing promotion at rm15/day on my trip to Japan next month. Will do a review posting once I have tested it. But judging from the screenshot and devices, it should be either au networks or y mobile

RM15/day nett? any hidden charges?

Yes, RM15/day nett.
No hidden charges, Unlimited data quota, but you will required to pay RM200 deposit  which will be refunded later and you can collect from KLIA terminal or they will send the device to your home few days before your departure.

one night??? Just forget about pass. Individual tickets give you more flexibility. You are taking 3 trains, which average is about 180yen.

ok. my plan for the night is:

from my hotel (nearby tokyo dome) -> akihabara -> shinjuku -> Tokyo Metropolitan Goverment Building -> Harajuku -> Shibuya -> tokyo dome -> back to hotel.

is it too rush for a trip from around 6-7pm?

any suggestions to improvise?

Too rush. Tokyo most shop closed at 8pm, mall closed at 10pm. You start your trip at 6pm, one akibahara enough keep you stay until 10pm. Your plan are suitable for one whole day.
Unless you reach station take some picture then hop into another station.

i see, thanks. maybe skip akihabara and harajuku.

or you have better suggestion? notworthy.gif
