Omg looks sooooooo delicious. Must eat this when I go Japan next trip Tokyo got ah?

Go Japan bojio!!!

Most of the Airbnb units there provide free portable wifi egg.

Otherwise, you can also rent the wifi egg from airports when you arrive. If I recall correctly, was around RM20 a day or so. Depending on company.

Last time I help a friend to buy the travel sim also from Bic. But I can't remember how much already. It was this one: https://t.iijmio.jp/en/

Coming Tokyo trip, I'm just going for Airbnb units that provide wifi egg.

My past few trips to Japan I just survive on hotel free wifi. Download offline map maybe?

The last Seoul trip had wifi egg from the airbnb unit, I actually find it a real distraction. The whatsapp/FB/insta and also I realise I enjoy exploring more when I don't have internet connection to search around. Just walk in to any shop I see along the way haha.

Ohhh. I didn't know that. Good to know.
Do you know roughly how much is the daily quota? Looks like I'll have to ask the airbnb unit owner before I confirm any bookings then.

I'm not traveling with you, cannot afford to splurge.
RM100 for 14 days unlimited is a really cheap though.

I see. Hopefully the ones I ask will understand
1GB a day for me alone is good enough. But for 4 then a bit of a stretch.

Then again, mostly be using it for emails, whatsapp, getting around and some bragging on social media only.

January 18-23rd. Just gonna be around Tokyo this time covering what I've not covered
Basically one day DisneySea, another day Tsukiji and more sushi, also planning on day trip Nagano for snow monkeys and another day trip to Kamakura.

Thanks for the info. Good to know. Will try my luck
As I've never use wifi egg from airbnb units in Japan before. Friends didn't mention the quota to me also. The one I used in Seoul didn't have a quota either.

Haha. Which part you will be heading to this trip?

Haha. I love Nikko.
Just go there and whack more food, sure stress free.

Thanks. Based on what I find, I guess the IIJmio sim would be best if I can get the 1GB 30 days one. According to their website can get at Narita airport.

Edit: Just saw JTB Malaysia sells them as well. Maybe tomorrow go check out the JTB booth near my office.

Haha. I'll download offline map with wifi before using the data sim.

IIJmio is more straightforward data only. No throttle speed but 1GB finish then finish, can top up though. I'm quite sure it only starts when you activate it. It's slightly more expensive here in JTB compared to airport price, I'm sure BIC and Yodobashi will be cheaper that airport maybe. But nvm la.

For those interested in the IIJmio 1GB for 1 month simcard, JTB sells it at their KL and Shah Alam branches. Currently its RM122 based on current exchange rate.
The guy told me to activate it here in Malaysia with wifi connection, then can use it immediately once you touch down in Japan.

I usually fill in the address, sometimes simplified address like which area the unit will be at.
If I am staying in multiple places during my trip and there's a hotel, I'll just put the hotel name and location.

Otherwise, full addresses is fine.

I didn't even know the omamori is for a years usage.
I still have one hanging in my car.

I'll be most likely getting this. https://t.iijmio.jp/en/index.html#service_overview

And get it from JTB in Malaysia. http://jtbmalaysia.com/japantravelsim/
Which is most likely more expensive than getting it from Narita airport itself, but save some hassle.
