hi guys, was wondering if anyone have experience of using Yokoso Sim ?
Im travelling for a month so internet sim seems more affordable than a wifi router. Buying from SG for the 91 days sim, and it's less than RM200. |

Has anyone been to the chichibu festival? Keep missing out dates where they have large fireworks festival and this is the only one during my travel date on 2nd/3rd December.

QUOTE(buffa @ Oct 19 2016, 08:00 PM) Too bad I am flying from Singapore Buffa when are you going? I bought the yokoso sim as well. However I contacted the SG company instead since they offer the 91 day card.  I will buy yokoso sim for my coming trip, hope everything is fine  try google lazada yokoso sim.   and shipping was 5 SGD QUOTE(domo_kun @ Oct 19 2016, 06:09 PM) A dilemma. I'll be in Japan for one week, and another week in HK, then only I'll head home. In HK, I can buy and use a prepaid SIM worth less than $40 for 1GB lasting for a month; definite choice. In Japan, if I'm to get the WiFi rental from Malaysia, I'll ahve to pay for the 2 weeks duration even though I'm only using it in Japan for a week because I'm only returning the device 2 weeks later. If I'm getting the WiFi rental from Japan, instead, I'll be paying twice the amount of money offered locally in KL. Any suggestions how I may turn around with this? 2 years ago when I went Japan, I rented a wifi through pupuru. Can return through any postbox in Japan (they include an envelope which has been paid already). Quite reasonable and good coverage too. I just checked and it's around 400yen per day now. Maybe you can check and consider? This post has been edited by Yenjo: Oct 19 2016, 09:11 PM |

QUOTE(buffa @ Oct 20 2016, 05:42 PM) 9th Nov. 3 weeks more Ohhh close to mine! I leave on the 6th hehe! and hahaha omg I don't wanna relive that experience at tokyo station (my first time there 2 years ago). I basically ran from platforms to platforms xD and was stopped by the stationmaster not to run hahahaha. I was pretty frantic at that time but all is good if you identify properly which route you're supposed to be, and the exits. Finished my itinerary, but now I scared the station is too complicated will get lost, especially tokyo station |

By the way, if anyone is going Kenrokuen for Night Illumination
Just take note that you need to leave the park before 5pm (they close at 5pm) and you can only re-enter at 5.30pm. Or if you just want to go for illumination, just wait for the queue at 5.30pm (it's free for night viewing!) the queue was kinda long initiallly but not as bad as the one at Kiyomizudera last week haha |

Managed to try Sunrise izumo yesterday-today morning. Quite interesting experience ! Most likely because it's weekday it was quite empty from Tokyo onwards. Left at Himeji cause it was a long journey from sapporo hahahahah.
Sapporo - Hakodate - Tokyo - Himeji - Osaka (where I stay ) This post has been edited by Yenjo: Dec 7 2016, 06:44 AM Attached thumbnail(s)
