Yahoo... Finally going to hokkaido next week.. Hope weather will be fine.. Anyone else going?

Just sharing-
I got a 15 day data sim (Docomo)during my Japan trip in dec from TaoBao, 500mb/day at lte speed. after 500mb, speed was still about 2-4mbitps, the cost was only about 70RM (130 yuan).

Both way also can.
From KIX to Shin-Osaka Station Or Kyoto Station are Using JR ''Haruka'' Limited Express.

Either you get down from Shin-Osaka Station or Kyoto Station you still have to Change to JR '' Thunderbird'' Limited Express to Komatsu Station.

JR ''Haruka'' Route:
Kansai International Airport - Shin-Osaka - Kyoto - Maibara

JR ''ThunderBird'' Route:
Osaka - Shin-Osaka - Kyoto - (Katata) - (Omi-Imazu) - (Tsuruga) - (Takefu) - (Sabae) - Fukui - (Awaraonsen) - (Kagaonsen) - (Komatsu) - (Matto) - Kanazawa

From my experience, just check what's your platform/train and follow the signboard accordingly. Signboard direction is quite clear and you won't get lost if follow correctly.

when are u travelling, maybe its too early and the flights are not opened for booking yet?

Check here:

I see got AirAsiaX

that's the only non-stop flight available

For ANA, did you select economy lowest price? If yes you need to change it to economy flexible.

Yes, so my suggestion is to buy return and forego the KUL-NRT. Thats what I normally do.

this should be very useful for many of us

if u have data
open/download google translate app
there is a voice translation part there
but will require data...accuracy of it though..i can't confirm since i can't speak japanese

what are u doing in japan?

u can switch though..press the japanese one
but u need to let the opposite talk to the phone
wow, so good
expenses self paid or?

i hate summer and winter vacations

summer always hot, rain then typhoon
winter worst, extreme snow cause flight cancellation, slippery road, super cold u don't even want to walk outside

yes their hv their own speciality but traveling in this conditions is totally waste of time, gud luck

Hi, i will be going to japan this september and i have question regarding withdrawing cash in japan. Which one is better? Withdraw money from japan or exchange all the money in msia? Kindly advice! Thank you.

Yep haha, changed my mind about withdrawing the money in japan. I do not want to have any risk in japan without cash...

Also is there any place to suggest for money exchange? I have euro and consider of changing at the airport but i think i can get better rate in tokyo.

what is the cheapest option to get mobile data in Tokyo?
I have U Mobile but that is Rm36 a day. What cheaper alternatives SIM card for data especially I can get in Japan. I read that you can even buy one at Yodabashi or Bic Camera.

Thanks in advance
