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??

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

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.

Disney has something called FastPass for certain ride, which is not for sale. You need to collect them at the FastPass kiosk for free, but first come first serve basis. The pass will specify what time range (example :10am - 10.30am) where you can just go straight into the ride.

There are some other restriction as well on this (can't hold multiple ride pass at same time , fastpass cooldown etc.). Do google for more info on this if you want to arrange your time to ride all the ride there.

And there's a Disneysea app as well in Google Store Japan that allow you to see the status of ride, waiting time and even the fastpass status of those ride. recommend to download that.

Thank you very much !

Hi,

Planning to visit Osaka + kyoto on late December. Currently shortlisted airline MAS (Direct flight) VS ANA (1 Transit), Any other options?

ANA or JAL ftw

For accommodation, do you guys use Airbnb service? If yes, do you encounter any issue?

airbnb shouldn't be an issue...

Thanks in advance

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.

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 ANA got the right time for you then pick ANA

JAL not really recommended because some flight schedule is operated by MAS

For ANA, are they using Boeing 787 for Kul-Osaka? always wanted to try that airplane BUT 1 stop is kinda turn off for me

Guardian Lake Akan really far. For first timer to Hokkaido 7-ish days IMO not worth it to go there.

I guess you could add one more area in your planning - Daisetsuzan mountains (either kurodake/sounkyou onsen or asahidake), or hakodate could be good also depending what you want to see.

My hakodate blog here if you interested. The town itself so-so only but the seafood market there is superb, especially the うに丼 ie sea urchin rice bowl: http://look-see-eat.blogspot.sg/2015/11/ho...et-seafood.html

Guys,need your help flying  to japan next week, any money exchanger that provide good rates?

No good rates, but the lowest among all. You can go Midvalley or Pavilion.

Midvalley B1 car park south court I think, there's a money changer with blue signboard. The rate there quite competitive for JPN Yen.

If you from KL, can check out Vital Rate @ Pavilion. Both sharing the same rate now, RM39.30 for 1000YEN
