You have quite some time to play around with. Yes, it's possible. Get JR Pass for shinkansen, it's very convenient to move from one city to the other. Plan out your itinerary and get back here to see if others can advice you on it. Do some research on what you want to see and stuffs so others can help you better. And when are you traveling.

The last time I spent 3.5 weeks there, I got quite fed up with Japanese food lol. Even though I'm a huge Japanese food lover.

Depends what kind of traveller you are lor. I think 6 days Tokyo is just nice. Any longer will be too much also.

Why don't you just search airbnb for 8 pax units?
Just make sure got some good reviews and contact the host beforehand.

and i guess you were hitting double black diamonds the same afternoon, and doing jumps on the terrain park on the 2nd day, amirite?!?

anyway good for you, but the majority of people will be still snowplowing on their first few days, and considering that this is on a beginner slope it's most certainly not "frowned upon."

Its the intermediates and Diamonds - otherwise its a waste of ski lift rides

needed some immediate help
i tried to purchase ticket for disneysea

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.

Snowboard is easier for me. I tried both on same day. Within minutes on snowboard i am cruising nicely.. Rusutsu charge some fees to change from ski to snowboard. Some tips for those who doing ski. If you are the not so good at balancing than ski would be easier as you can stand and got stick to support you. If you are good at balancing and played ice skating before, do try out snowboard. Snowboard disadvantages is no standing, so u need to brace urself to keep falling when stop. No problem to fall on snow in Hokkaido as the snow is just too damn powdery!!

Unker going to Nagoya for 10days, which telco to get, WiFi?

"握り１貫、巻物１本よりご注文を承ります"...saw it on a sushi website but google translate makes no sense

This one RM13/day not bad.

Hey Guys will be going to Japan next year. My schedule as follows :

March 28-30 Osaka
March 30 - April 1 Kyoto
April 1 - 4 Tokyo

We have pretty much paid for air tickets, and accommodation.

So I was wondering during the trip whether 55,000 yen cash is suffice to cover daily expenses such as transportation, food, mobile wifi. If there is any big purchases, I probably will cover it using credit card. But in the meantime, would you say 55,000 yen is sufficient to cover daily expenses as mentioned above.

Thanks guys appreciate all the help I can get

My Japanese isn't that good but I think the gist of it is 'please order more than 1 Onigiri/ 1 Sushi '

55K yen each day or for the whole period?


this is the result i got if i use google translate
"-grip 1 consistently, we accept your order from a single scroll. "
