For those who are using meetup.com, try to look for Japanese International Meetup. They organized day tours and sometimes 1-two days tour in English. Been to a few meetup and its pretty fun with a mixture of international and japanese people.

last call for anyone that is going to tokyo during raya. if u wanna know all the nice local places to eat do hit me up/pm me, i will bring u go. some r hiding inside small alley so its not easy to find for normal tourists.

if u wanna experience real otaku stuff also hit me up, not those normal otaku stuff u find in akiba (example, live singing performance by cosplayers in those live house, weekly weekends cosplay event)

im arriving in tokyo on the 21st and coming bak malaysia on the 1st of july.

Yay! Then share how fun it was!

But oh, get your tickets on Ghibli site. Now they sell them online as well. Don't wait till you're in Japan to buy from Lawson, sure habis!!!

That's pretty interesting, shall explore when I have an upcoming trip!

if buy in lawson need buy one month ahead

1 month

yeap, the tickets are open up for sales one month ahead during every beginning of the month. n they often sold out quite fast. so u will definitely not b able to buy it if u reach japan then baru wan buy

Yeah I will! I'll have to replan everything again. Haha

When I am doing research and I came across a site that sells the ticket and it's almost rm200 per ticket.

That's crazy

sell on the 10th day of the month only if buy at lawson.
Heard JTB sell em as well.
fail to get tix, so i walk around Inoshira? (cant remember the name well) park instead. fame for Occult;Nine anime.

Sadly, JTB one - they don't have for Malaysia.

Lawson sells them online via Ghibli site these days:

Bought mine last year from the site, otherwise I'm pretty sure I'll have to miss again!

Guys, wanna ask. Im going to Tokyo on Raya time, 23/6 to 2/7. Im planning to go see Mount Fuji for 1 whole day. My question is, if I purchase 3days JR Wide Pass, is there anywhere worth to go using that pass for next 2 days? The place that a bit far from Tokyo if can. Or I shouldn't buy the pass? Thank you.

Sounds so fun! I will be in Tokyo for Raya! But bringing my parents too. So I dont think I can ditch them

U need my contact just in case? Like when got into trouble, got lost or anything.

Sure, u can pm me ur contact number. Thanks!

thanks for the info...

sounds like anytime within 1st - 2nd of april should be fine next year...hopefully

Amazing.. it's only 2 days after the tickets selling date (10th of each month for the next month) and it's already sold out for the whole of July...

Thanks. Can add "travel recommends" option if using pocket wifi? I found more cost saving compare to the rest.

Depends what you like and in the JR wide pass they have also give you some examples or where you can go with the pass. Just look and see what fancies you. If you like nature or shopping, you can go to Karuizawa, Izu is also nice as well.

Best to standby on the first day, at 9am when they open up for Sale. Friends were telling me there are scalpers and ticket hoarders as well. I was only 10min late to the site and all 10am entry tickets for first 2 weeks were sold off


PM the mod who opened up the first post loll.

Hi lucaswjk,

Do we really need international driving permit as converted at JPJ @ RM150 to drive in Japan? Can we use the latest driving license there?
