The Gundam Front Tokyo, which is the Gundam themed amusement park/ museum that is inside the mall, will be closing its doors on April 5th as well.

hey guys

for yen~ was planning to exchange Yen and USD for my trip
Question: should i exchange more USD and when i am short of yen i can do exchange there? how is the exchange rate compare using RM and USD to Yen?  better?

reason: smaller note easier to travel..
*
so far they won't complain if u give big note when paying for a small stuff...
the only thing to worry is coins....better to bring a coin pouch instead...
anything below 1000yen would be in coins, so you'll end up with a lot of coins laugh.gif

also not easy to find money changer if not wrong...

Hi. Need to ask some advice about traveling period. I'm still reading the whole tread now only at page 53 + the Japan guide.net
Its my FIRST time planning to Japan or oversea anyway for 4 person for 10 day
Which is the better travelling period/time
Option 1: 2018 April 30 -- 2018 MAY 10
Option 2: 2018 April 18 -- 2018 April 28

Reason: AIr ticket is getting expensive as we tried to keep on monitoring..

Activities: Not fully confirm ..but 3 things is a MUST : SAKURA + SHIRAKAWAGO village + MT FUJI (Still trying to plan a route..will ask advice later since currently its not a fully made plan yet)
*
Option 1 not recommended as it falls within the golden week...
everywhere will be packed with locals too...
