is the same as other food in japan.
> kebab with rice is about 700Yen
> just kebab is about 500Yen
> curry chicken w/ rice (pakistan) 800Yen

What?! CAN DO THAT?!!! Omg i'm gonna be a meanie and make fun of a friend who spent around RM100 playing. He said it looked easy but each time also fail

I'm going in a few days time. Will be renting a car. Dangerous? If you're a noob driver. Ever driven in Malaysia during heavy thunderstorm? Exercise same caution. You can't speed on Japanese road anyway.

My ride comes with AWD & winter tyres. And it's cheaper than usual now

Looking at my itinerary, Kyoto will require me to take lot of buses. Do think it's good to rent a bicycle? Foldable bike is allow in train isn't it?

yeap u can do tht, i do tht all the times after 1-2 tries. then they will come move the prize n giv me tips on wat to do next.

bus is cheaper n faster, some places r quite far apart. they hv daily bus pass.

I am going to hokkaido end of June, but read that the gov is going against airbnb now, is it true? Is anyone here still using airbnb service in Japan or it's safer for me to go for proper hotel instead? Thanks

Sorry are you referring to airbnbs being ban in japan ? I booked airbnb for my japan trip earlier last month. Not a problem at all.

Alamak too last minute book pocket wifi, no stock for TravelRecommend
So i booked Samurai Wifi, hopefully is good, 2 units unlimited @ RM360

Wiyo at KLIA2, hassle to go over

tomorrow flight 8am.

I booked 8 days through airbnb wor.

I noticed some of them rent from landlord/owner, then post on airbnd to earn extra $$$

I'd suggest you get DisneySea tickets here before you go. I reach DisneySea 8.15am and the queue to buy ticket is long! Few websites to buy tickets actually.

The extra few minutes for you saved from buying ticket over the counter can save you alot of time for the game queues.

I rent my place last year Oct or Nov, just came back last week, no problem whatsoever. If you are really worried, can always go for the recommendations on first page.

Btw, I'm very much hooked to the culture there! I miss Japan! Anyone wants to go to Tokyo with strangers for a new experience, do let me know! I'm looking for people to go along!

My initial date is 31st August until 4th of September.

if you are girl..surely here will have kakis raising their hands

Too bad I'm not.. well just want make friends and have people to go with. Is hard to find people who share the same hobby..

During my first trip there, i went Sega in Akihabara, so that time i already spent like around 1400 yen then the worker is standing beside me. So i tell that guy, muzukashi desu neee, then he open the lock and put it in a super easy position. It works at most big arcade franchise. I get 4 prizes with average of 1k - 1.5k yen during my last month trip. GL !

oh which part of Japan you're going? And can you share how much is your car rental? Thanks!

Sapporo..6 days rental 50k (Subaru Levorg)

Since this is related, I would like to ask you guys..

The currency now is pretty bad. Any idea or insight news that the currency would go RM38.90 or below?

I booked from store in Tokyo who will send it to chitose airport. 6 days rental about RM195. SoftBank pocket wifi.

Woahhh nice car man!

Eh wanna ask, I know Universal Studio has Express Pass - does Disney offer them as well?

And I agree on the AirBnB part. I came back in Jan (this year) from Nagoya and there was no issue.

I can understand. I went for the first time in March last year but it was such a short trip that I came home feeling very dissatisfied. Flew there again in Nov for autumn. And then an adhoc trip end of Dec-Jan '17 HAHAHA everyone said i overdid it but I find that people who has been to Japan will... understand the feeling of wanting to return again and again.

Going with strangers? Even sometimes going with friends could result in disagreement hahahaha isn't it worse with strangers??

LOLLL!!!! Or if the one asking is good looking

Yes indeed, I understand. The only place I will ever visit from now on (out of Malaysia) will be Japan my goal - 1 Japan trip each year! But perhaps have to skip this year.

Omg how one phrase makes wonder. Such a good idea! Will get one of my friend to try this next time hahahaha

4 prizes though? but its not possible to keep saying "muzukashi desu nee" in 4 different machines loll!

My sensei said not within the short term. In fact, its better you buy the currency now (its relatively cheap, RM39.45) and keep it if you're going for trip in the upcoming few months. Yen might keep going up because of our weak currency.

Optionally, stay in airBnB that offers free pocket wifi! did that in March and Nov trip, saved on that ^___^

Or, for those who stays in Hotel and need to rent a pocket Wifi, try Klook. Download the app KLOOK and look under the Travel & WIFI category. Saw one that costs 500yen per day (RM20 per day). Try to check if there's any cheaper alternative/ options.
