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!

Im going japan end Nov and wanted to boom for pocket wifi first..

Anyone experience using Wiyo? Previous post ppl commented on traven recomment but it is quite troublesome for me to pick becauSe im flying from KLIA2 (their booth at KLIA & i want to avoid courier fee which is rm10/way!!)

Wiyo office is near to my office.. But i read their facebook comments.. Some said the connection is poor..
Need advices =)

Which part of Japan you going? If Tokyo there're shudn't be a problem..Unless u going some outskirt areas..

If you are not confident on WiYo u can use this..last time i use this, service is great..Request to send over to my hotel in Tokyo, and when i arrived in Tokyo, its already there for me to use. Return is easy too, just put it in any post box..Everything is FOC

Yoyogi Park - mostly cosplayers right? My gf and I don't really fancy cosplays so didn't want to go there.
Tokyo tower replaced with Tokyo Skytree. tongue.gif
Roppongi wanted to go during Ginza day, but my friend say is quite a distances so I decided to drop it. Still in my plans if we have time to spare.
Zojoji shrine? Never heard of it. Will look into it and see if is fits into which day.

Thanks! notworthy.gif
Wanted to go Yokohama but then my schedule seem too packed. LOL.
I did have Nikko in my plans, but my gf decided not to go cause it's gonna spend whole day there. Not many days we can spend there also. sad.gif

Do let me know how's the weather as I think you'll be back when I'm heading there. tongue.gif
Yes. But the itinerary is for reference. Can skip any of the location anytime. Created this itinerary just to make sure we don't wander when we have finished visiting places. Definitely won't have enough time to go all these places IMO. laugh.gif

Yoyogi park is not for cosplayers..last time i went during winter, snowing in the park..very nice..u can google the photos la..u can see during daytime, a lot of families were doing their family outing there..pretty nice place to chill..

Roppongi is not far la wei..

Zojoji temple is the Wolverine temple =)

Do you know a fast/convenient way to tokyo from haneda airport?
Thanks for the tips dude.
u can take the limousine bus to T-CAT (tokyo city air terminal)..last time i stay at Royal Park, just right beside TCAT..so its walking distance to my hotel..The limousine bus is super comfortable and affordable price.

Once u reached TCAT, u can take the subway to your place d..

Hi There

Got planning to visit to tokyo next year MAY. Travel with Me, Wife and a 5yrs old son. Staying at Shibuya Excel Hotel. The RM10k doesn't cover hotel, transportation (Jr Express From Narita Airport x 3 x round), Suica card x 3 . RM10k is just for spending, in Disneyland n Disneysea n Suica top-up, and others.
*

should be enough..lets allocate 2k for Disneyland and Disneysea..you left 8k for food and all the misc stuffs for 5 days..which around one day u have 1.6k to spend.

Looking for advise:

I'm going to Tokyo for 10 days.

But I'm not planning to go Kyoto/Osaka, would it be too "boring" if staying in Tokyo for that long?
*
do you mean just Tokyo city? if yes then it MIGHT be abit too long for 10 days in a row..

if tokyo in a whole definitely not..as there're lots of outskirt area where u can go visit..
