If me, I pay for my gf if she cannot afford full amount. Ke ke... Maybe I am being too generous?

you never payed a whole vacation, bought a property to get married and buy a laptop for someone only to learn she cheated on you with a Singaporean after three years dating her man. so yeah lesson learnt

i had just return from my 2 weeks Tokyo-Kyoto trip. its was awesome, but few thing i would like to mentioned base on my journey.
alot of restoration happening around.
Asakusa Sensoji Pagoda has been encase (wrapped arround), Tokyo Tower top observation deck just got into renonvation, but mid one still available. Nikko Rennoji Temple has been encase as well, but u can pay to go in, n as bonus see their botak roof top on working stair case (no lift. 5th n 7th floor can be enter n observe their restoration works)
Nijo castle certain hall has been encase as well. some artwork (wall painting) has been moved for re-replication work.
Kyoto temple; Yasaka n Kiyomizu (temple hall) also suffer the same.

mostly all due for Tokyo Olympic.
for my 1st time, it was ok.

Anyone of you tried using WIYO in japan how was the speed and coverage in osaka and tokyo?

I am struggling about my journey..

I'm wondering in my trip within 7 days should I split staying in Kyoto for 3 days and 4 days in Osaka or all 7 days in Osaka and then I travel to Kyoto for the 3 days to visit Kyoto? I search the JR travel fees.. For per trip is about 900 yen on Mon-Thursday..
On weekends is 1,500 per trip..

Do they give out discounts on return tickets?

tired it at tokyo n hokkaido, both ok

There's a 14 days Kansai Itinerary in the 1st post, you may use that as guide? 7 days will be a little packed to hit all the areas but you may manage with proper scheduling.

Hi guys, is buying gshock at Japan worth? If it does, which store usually better price? Yodabashi umeda price ok? Thanks

Did the AAsia Haneda trip, delayed 20 mins and long immigration queue so out at 11:30. Decided bus (night charge, double) was the safer option . It got to Shibuya station 20 minutes before the next connection but there was a 40 minute jam right at the entrance so I missed the last bus and had to take a taxi for over 1000 yen :-(

My bad gamble cost 4x the train fare but it was also pouring rain so maybe worth it to be dropped at the doorstep.
The only reason to go by bus is it might spare you doing lots of stairs with your luggage.

Dec 16th seems a little too packed??

I am using it now, last 3 days in Kyoto only arashiyama intermittent low coverage. Now in Osaka looks pretty good so far. Speed is LTE

Hehehehe, personally speaking, Akihabara alone will occupy at least half a day if not a full day and night!

personally, i dnt know where to slot akihabara
u can see 17th also for akihabara at the back with a question mark since its on the way
i plan it based on train route
since u say half a day...17th and 18th surely cannot already
maybe slot to the last day 20th? and my list for akihabara isn't that long..got so many things to visit there?

I also said "personally", hehehe. I spent almost the entire day from day to night; girls, Gundam, anime, cameras, techs. Wow. Going there again pretty soon... Woot!

It's more of a question if you wanted to buy anything there. If you don't plan to buy anything. A few hours will be enough. But if you love anime and want to buy merchandise, 1 day at least.. heh

not a fan of anime or gundam so just normal sightseeing..thus list is quite short
thats why im in a dilemma which day and where to slot akihabara in because it seemed so packed
i think imma still put it at 18th 1st...if can't made it thn maybe slot it into the last day

You gotta slow down, and have a look around... Especially the neon lights all over, and the maids in skimpy dress even during winter... Awww, almost feel bad for them. Hehehe.

Hi, I will be travelling to Kyoto and Osaka from 29 Nov to 8th Dec. Can anyone help to advice the best and cheapest telephone card / sim card for making calls back to Malaysia - land line. Need to call back to check on my folks at home at least one or twice a day. Many thank in advance.

i'll sure be on the lookout
any place in akihabara that u can recommend?
