thanks for sharing the info. the price seems quite reasonable.

comparing these 2 Travel Recommends and Wiyo, which one is better in term of internet speed?
any problems?

i'm not sure which one to get... so getting some feedback from you guys would be very helpful to me.
thank you in advance.

i'm going to japan 14/1 until 21/1 next year. i plan to go tokyo + kyoto. is it enough time? should i get jr pass as my flight will be at haneda arrival/depart.

One week better focus at Tokyo only
Forget about Kyoto

but my wife want to go kyoto badly . thinking to do 4 days tokyo and 3 days kyoto. but my concern is the travelling from tokyo to kyoto vice versa.

Can anyone suggest me 9 days 8 night itenary with 18 months toddler?
Purely Tokyo

Minus 3 days in disneyland and 1 day in lake kawaguchiko

since now wiyo increase price/remove promo already
technically u got no choice to go for travel recommends already

have used travelrecommend portable wifi before for my tokyo trip last month..speed wise is okay around 30mbps... the service provider is softbank but once in a while have to restart the portable modem because the connection seems lost. i give rating 8/10 for the price i pay.. easy pickup and drop off.. the booth at klia open 24 hours.

waste of money if u ask me
time too short to spend on each city(cannot see much)
thn the shinkansen from tokyo to kyoto also not cheap at all...can buy a flight tix to another country already

Have been using Yokoso sim for a week now so far so good. Fast and coverage is great. So far only been to Osaka and Nagoya though haha.

Is it truly unlimited data?

not sure as i did not download anything..just navigate and upload pictures..never notice any slow down in internet speed..

Noted that

Anyone been to Niseko Grand Hirafu before? I have gone through their website and the lift prices and I was so confused which ticket should I go for.

I'm going with my family so there will be me and some elderly, they won't go for ski for sure but I like to go for snowboarding for maybe like half day at least, so can anyone advice me what kind of tickets should I purchase for myself and my family members?

Is it your first time? For first timer go ski/snowboard should be at bare minimum one full day, otherwise you might as well don't bother and just go build snowman in the corner.

Anyway this one kua. http://www.grand-hirafu.jp/winter/en/gelande/lift.html ... 5hr pass ¥4,200 1 day pass ¥5,500. Note that jacket, pants, snowboard rental etc will cost you another ¥4-5k per day.

[edit] On an unrelated note ... #throwback to last year Feb moi wife ski'ing in nozawa onsen

planning my trip to japan for 1 and half week (10-12 days). (2 person total)

any hostel/hotel recommended in Tokyo and Osaka?

how much should I budget? is RM5k enough?

Hi all,
I'm going to Tokyo in Dec and manage to find these 2 places that have crab legs buffet -
a) Shinjuku Prince Hotel - Prince Viking (abt Jpy2800)
b) Tokyo Station Buffet Chisozammai, Daimaru Tokyo (abt Jpy2200)

Any comment on which is better or any other places with similar price. Appreciate your comments. Thanks.

Who knows? We don't know your travel style. Check out Japan Guide for estimate: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2410.html


My comment is don't bother with those ¥2k-ish buffets you listed. At most they give you snow crab legs? Want to eat crab then go all the way and find somewhere that gives you king crab or hairy crab, otherwise don't bother.

May i know, if i am going to japan, which data sim card is more suitable? and also where can i buy those japan sim card?TQ

With this price, you only can get hairy crab. which is similar to Shanghai ''大闸蟹''
Hairy Carb are lowest class crab in Japan Crab list

thanks..
