only 3-4 days in sapporo....hhhmmm

I guess most airbnb do provide rice cooker.. If you actually staying in one.. If you're staying in hotel then oyu gotta bring your own..
But why not buy one in Tokyo..? Everyone keep telling me the Japanese has the best electronics gadgets on earth. Their rice cooker can cook you PERFECT rice, you want it to be hard as rock is possible, and soft as tofu is possible too.

BNB that we'll stay do not have rice cooker...
both of them..tokyo and sapporo..
I've read somewhere that without transformer, it would take forever to cook rice, because of the voltage different.

if we buy the cooker there, then it's just for 110v country only lah...japan..usa...
unless i have the transformer...

and initially we plan to stay 5 days...3 days in hakodate...but then, have to change because wanna go to tokyo...should be ok laa...

few question
1. anyone been to Ito-Yokado at kiba station?...seems alot of choices
2. when u want tax refund, is it that they will packed all your stuff into a box and seal it?

Rice cooker?? You can actually buy plain white rice in most convenience store.

I also using vanilla air from Hokkaido to Tokyo, make sure u going to terminal 2 of Narita airport to onboard flight. The service is quite good and on time flight.

btw, 3 days in Sapporo kinda tight. Suggest u to take day trip to Otaru and 2 days in Sapporo is enough.

any good experiences on airbnb rentals in Kyoto and Osaka to recommend? looking for one for 6 pax next year april

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/9241878

this is quite good, except the bath tub will flood out, but its cheap, if divided by 6, its around 50 per pax.
very strategic location I would say, since its in center of america village.

You also have free pocket wifi, though most likely it will be restricted speed, since the last people using the router might finish up the quota ady. Better get your own pocket wifi.

DarkWRC what sacwoc said. airbnb might not have rice cooker (mine in tokyo didn't have), but if it got microwave, you can buy ¥100 packs of already cooked rice in konbinis and just warm it up in the microwave.

referring to this bus schedule
https://www.nouhibus.co.jp/english/highwayb...shirakawago.pdf

I'm not to understand on this

eg. does that only mean there's only ONE bus arrive at 13.50 at Takayama? and if we missed it or due to over-capacity, then have to wait for the next round which is at 14.50?

BTW, if it matters... Lonely Planet e-Book going at $8.99 to $9.99

Hi I currently owned a Maybank 2 Gold Card and I was wondering how much are the fees if I were to withdraw Japanese yen at say, Japan Post bank using the card?

EDIT: I also owned a Public Bank ATM/Debit card, just wondering what is the cheapest way to obtain yens while in Japan.

Thanks!

Anybody has a link / itinerary purely in Tokyo?
Just wanna compare, buying ticket for first week of March 2017. About 8 nights just to walk and shop.

Cherry blossom visit in 2018.

or read first page of the thread

No need to bring a rice cooker.

Just go 7-11 there. They do sell pre-cooked rice.

Just pour hot water and let it steam and WALLA! rdy to serve.

Btw,4 days at Sapporo really cant do much. Suggest you whack all the days in Hokkaido first. Next trip go Tokyo.
