Holy shit. I just did the calculations for a 21 day trip from Osaka-kyoto-tokyo

2100 for rail pass.
200 per pax for accommodation air bnb (2 of us. 200 myr per night)
flight from Kuching to KL (round) 500
flight from kl to Osaka (round) 1800
250 myr per day per pax = 5000

total up spending 11k for 21 days itinerary.

am planning a proposal there. she can't afford it. I can't pay for her

If both of you cannot pay......why didn't change to shorter trip? hmm.gif

the best advise 💪💪💪

what is the reason to propose? syiok sendiri lar

If I want to propose my wife again......I will suggest go to Hokkaido during autumn (early to mid October)

Take Thai Airway, two ways RM1020 (from KUL to BKK to CTS).
Stay at Toyoko Inn/Super Hotel, RM300/night
For 6-7days shorter trip....... eat dessert/ice cream at Otaru and make the propose there. biggrin.gif

If I have extra budget, find an onsen ryokan with half board, stay one night, syiok sendiri.

I'll just head back to Malaysia and renew it before I go to Japan. Better safe than sorry lol
Was studying in the US since 2014 and have not went back or out of US since.

It is better for you come back to renew at Malaysia instead of inquiry at Malaysia Embassy at US. My friend kena one time, his passport was more than 180 days validity when he entered to US.

Before he came back here, just realized that his passport validity less than 180 days. He "kepok" went to embassy to check with the embassy staff.....end up with his passport was "detained” and he cannot return to Malaysia. Luckily he was on business trip, company did use a lot of resources to solve his problem and bring him back. puke.gif

What is the best and easier route from Toyama to Kyoto Station?

Coz coming down from Tateyama edy. Planning to rest in Toyama first. Next day only go Kyoto. Or should I go direct to Tokyo first from Toyama instead?
*

sorry for not giving more details.

Osaka, Nara, Kobe (may be only), Kyoto then Osaka fly back. 9D8N.

Yes, plan to rent the wagon (Serena). Just came across few rental website like Toyota rent, Nippon Rent Car and also tocoo. Not sure if this Tocoo website is reliable or not that's why thought of seeking advice here.
*
U only focus on few Kansai cities, public transport is better than self drive.......as parking fee at big cities liked Osaka, Kyoto is very high, sometimes hard to find parking at tourist spots.

Yes, Tocoo is trusted.

ok sure bro. i will share the review later if i decided to rent from them.
notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif Thanks bro. Totally understand about the parking fees and also challenges in finding car park. Actually I am also in dilemma until now. But the reason for us to go towards renting a car is because we have 6 adults (among 4 are senior citizen) and 2 toddlers (1.5 y/o and 3.5y/o).  And also my mother in law is not very fit walking too much.

To be honest, i am still in dilemma until today whether to take public transport or renting a car sad.gif

I will recommend you to take taxi inside the cities such as Kyoto and Osaka. The reasons are:
1. The parking near tourist spot may far away from tourist spot, they still need to walk some distance. If you use taxi, taxi may just drop u all in front of the tourist spot. Your trip may just focus one or two tourist spots per day, and you have 6 adults, the fare is divided and may cheaper than you rent a car.
2. Osaka is a big city, once your miss a junction, you may need to make a big round.......may waste your time. smile.gif

Bought another flight ticket to Tokyo return for RM1,172 on this raya week but 1 stop using Vietnam Airlines.

Anyone had experience using Vietnam Airlines? KL-HoChiMin-Tokyo & Tokyo-HCM-KL

Just came back from JPN last golden week and it was awesome! This time I'm going alone without my partner.
*
Last year , I did use Vietnam airlines for Japan (multi cities, Tokyo in, Fukuoka out) and Taiwan trips. Their service is good, high CP value for the ticket price.

Thanks for your advice, I will consider all the possibilities. Even renting a car is a challenge now as we need to book 1 baby seat and 1 booster seat. That already occupy 2 spaces in the car + 6 adults. Normal MPV might not be sufficient either.
*
U can try to book "Alphard" type of vehicles, but the cost will be much much higher as compare to use taxi.
