http://www.apple.com/jp/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-7/
this price tag is it exclusive their GST?
￥83,800 (税別)

do Japan Apple sell unlocked iPhones?

do tourists enjoy GST/VAT exemption?

Thanks for the map. Normal people allocate fullday for disney as they got ample time but I don't have enough time to cover all place 
For Disneysea, I will take after 6 passport for 4200yen. Need to calculate my time, if cannot reach disney around 6pm then i need to cut one place and put it to other days 
Edit : do i need to buy metro pass as well?

Hello all!

I'm planning for 11 days 10 nights trip! On November
From 7th-17th

There's a few questions wanna ask..

Do I need to carry thick shirts and umbrella? I'm not really sure would it be cold although according to the information I found it's around 15c-23c.
Need some good advice on this.
My flight is departing from KUL - OSAKA

7th-11th staying in OSAKA

Planning to take night bus to Tokyo on the 11th, so I should be arriving in Tokyo in the morning where I actually save cost for 1 night.

12th-14th staying in Tokyo

Leaving on the 14th from Tokyo to Kyoto

14th-17th

on the 17th I'll be going back to Osaka and back to Msia.

Should I get JR pass?

Any recommendation? Besides about my transports and which location is the best and the location I should be staying at.

Thanks!

I planning to overnight at Arima Onsen. I try to look around, most of the Ryokan Onsen cost a bomb.

Any recommendation with budget ~RM1000 (25k yen)/room for 2 pax included Kobe beef dinner?

And I did research and understand, those with tattoo are not allow in Onsen. Any onsen that you guys come across that allow?

Anyone in Tokyo today and for another week or so? How's the weather? I'm counting days for my flight now.

Currently at Japan. Typhoon won't be passing Tokyo. Yay.

Good news. I just changed my JR pass n also ask bout Tokyo Wide Pass. It can be bought at selected JR station. I'm at shinjuku  station now

honestly, eventhough we did get a good quality answer in the previous thread, but it was too strict..chit chat abit also cannot...what's the use to have a forum?
hey, i'm going same date as yours. maybe we can meet in Tokyo

haha...This next trip I come find you, ok?

ok lo
lets start chitchat...
offer for galz oni ka
hehe

btw can bring her to Yurakucho
nice place to hang out... plus drinking 👅

wat u think... married also can become frenz ma 
and if she bring her cousin out that is another story

i tot usually japanese ppl like after work drink
almost like daily gathering 

how u all pay? split AA or boss treat?

Japanese are very vulnerably to Cold. Cannot take their word as guide.  Tak bolek Pakai punya
Even on normal local train also got one coach are specially tune down air conditioning.
For them everything lower than 20 Celsius are consider cold.
15 Celsius I still wearing T-Shirt come to work and for them already wearing jacket already....wtf

No, You cannot make payment inside train to upgrade from Unreserve to reserve.
If you get caught by doing this (using Unreserve ticket but sit inside reserve coach, you will end up in police station)

I'm going for 10 days. 2 days would be the compulsory Mt Fuji and Hakkonne, one day at Roppongi / Odaiba , Disney Sea , I have a rough sketch on location and using Odaigo to route my way easier. Now we just can't decide to buy Metro or JR pass since JR are more on the bigger places while Metro covers more smaller places etc .

Now one worry is my flight arriving is night at 10.30pm and Air Asia famous for tunggu sedikit, etc etc would be done by 11.30pm minimum so pretty scared on train cause our Airbnb is at Shin-Ohkubu which needs intertrain keiku- shinjuku - shin Okubu, whereas the bus heck need to find out .

Any of you guys night flight like mine can share what transportation you think best to take incase the train station closes at midnight?

Thanks a lot!
Thanks for all the info!
If you did not mention, I wouldnt know suica have limited use in kansai. I guess I will just use cash while I am at Kansai area.

and also Malaysian holiday as flight out of Kuching will be expensive

Hi All,

I am planning to Odaiba.
I go through study, I found that there are no subway and no JR operating at the area... Odaiba area are operate by private railway..

May I know is that possible walk from toyosu station?

Malaysia ringgit depress , my salaries increase.
sacwoc
Now you also same, kaya already

dear Sifu Sifu sekalian,

Im travelling to Japan April 2017. As its my first time going to Japan i have some questions on the electrical appliances that I am bring.

well first and foremost would be my phone charger. I heard from some friends that charging the phone is  super sloooooow.

2. hair dryer, hair curlers etc would not be usable due to the voltage?
3. Alternatively, Im bringing a few power bank for the pocket wifi and phone but would charging the power bank itself take a long time as well?
4. I know what there are universal travel adapter available but would I still be unable to use the hair dryer i am bringing or even charge my phone at the normal pace?

I would appreciate a recommendation on a good travel adapter as well.

thank you. I'm all for travelling in Oct which she doesn't want. die die want the sakura season when it's a peak and many Travellers. besides the first few months of the yesr what is the best time to visit Japan.

June?

i have been trying to talk her out of seeing the sakura but she insist to be there and I don't want her to go there and there's no flowers and all this rushing will be for nothing.

I want October because we have more time to save up and we avoid the holidays and crowd and enjoy Japan to the fullest. I'm almost getting into an argument with her as we speak.
