Hey guys, just looking for a suggestion, I'm planning for a 3 weeks to 1 month trip in Japan, trying to cover a few places.

Is it possible to cover say.. Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima in the first 2-3 weeks, then head to Hokkaido for the next half?

Will probably fly into Narito then back from Shin-Chitose via airasia.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Nice to know that it can be done.

Hmm actually I don't really have a plan in mind, just planning to visit Japan during Autumn and I guess the better idea would be to land in Hokkaido 1st then slowly move down to Miyajima. My interest would be to photograph the landscape and culture of Japan. I'm not much a eat and play person,but rather to experience Japan in a more... personal? way. Not sure if this is the correct expression. Don't mind eating food from convenience store and maybe enjoy an occasional good meal or drink. Might travel with a couple of friends, might do it alone. Preferable alone, unless they suddenly ajak me.

Anyway, after doing some research, seems like 3 weeks ordinary JR pass is around 60k yen, whihc is around RM2500. I'm putting a budget of RM100 per night for lodging, as some hostels and lodge I searched are around that price, and they even charge 300 yen more per night during peak season. Air ticket probably ~RM1000. Food...

Was actually planning to bike around Japan island,but never been there before so will do it once I'm older or when I get to know more people haha.

anyone going to japan next week or this weekend

if you already there than its ok

Waaaaa Japan earthquake.

"A 7.3 magnitude earthquake has shaken Tokyo after striking off the cost of Japan.

Early reports say a tsunami warning has been issued after the incident off the coast of Fukushima, the site of a major previous nuclear catastrophe.

United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the quake hit Namie, Futaba District, Fukushima.

The quake hit 67km northeast of Iwaki, south of the Hamadori coastal region of Fukushima, Japan, reports RT.

The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued tsunami advisories for much of the nation's northern Pacific coast.

A warning read: "Damage due to tsunami waves is expected. Evacuate immediately from coastal regions and riverside areas to a safer place such as high ground or an evacuation building."

Same here

Hello from Tokyo. Just a note. If you're Malaysian traveling alone, you'll be pulled over at Custom for full inspection. I asked why, he said single traveler. Fine. I asked why again, he said only Malaysian. I diam. And walked away. Gosh. Me face problem, or any others also kena like that?

Japanese highly concern about environmental radioactive..About Fukushima,Most farming area contaminated ,they will banned all product such rice grain . Heavy checked by local authority about this matter . Most of Salmon fish are imported from Scandinavian Country such Sweden . Lots of fish coming from Hokkaido ,Amori dan Nihon Kai.

If we talking about contaminated food myth In Japan,most Japanese people are more transparent compare Malaysian.

If you think Japan have bad environmental radioactive. Then you should travel other country. Much more safe and better long life..

5.  I want to buy tickets to norah jones concert in budokan.  There are japanese website to book like udo.jp but i dont know how to navigate and it requires a member account which i dont know how to register as well.  There's alternate ticket site like viagogo.  Is that website legit to secure concert ticket or should i try to use udo.jp?

Guys ... I have question about shinkansen

How to buy ticket for shinkansen? planning to take shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka.

1. Buy on travel date at station? Any chance ticket run out?
2. Buy few days before travel date?
3. Can purchase in advance i.e. thru online ticketing for the Nozomi shinkansen?

meet you in Tokyo yah

yes, to japanese num
---
u better secretly take the flight attendant photo
and pm me... i belanja u tea tarik

Not worth it taking 7days JR pass as I'll be going KL - Tokyo - Osaka - KL

I'm going end of March so it's going to be peak season, that's why need to make sure can get the tickets.
I know JR East have online purchase but JR Central also can buy online?

What about this "ticket shop"? How to buy from them?

WOW! that's like rm400++... i wonder if it's marked up because it's a tourist area or if it's the same everywhere...
