No idea about your budget, but a cab from Narita to Shibuya will cost a few hundred ringgit. And plenty! Shibuya is awesome. Think they open till 1am or 2am the last time I was there.

Depends where do you stay for the night or you did not get any hotel booked? Shibuya and Shinjuku have lots of yakitori/izakaya that opens till quite late. Or you can think of spending a night in an onsen like Heiwajima (http://www.heiwajima-onsen.jp/en/index.html). I was there last week as I arrived at 4am in the morning. Free shuttle bus and I managed to catch some sleep as well.

I'm staying near shibuya, but I haven't book for the night of arrival. I just check the schedule I think I still can catch a train or bus to shibuya.

Hi, i read that Kyoto can be very crowded during Koyo season. so taking bus will be very cramped especially i am travelling with toddler and kid.

if i want to visit Kiyomizudera, Tofukuji, Fushimi Inari and maybe throw in Gion and Uji, is it worth to take the Keihan 2 day pass? I can also use it when I transfer to Osaka from Kyoto as my hotel is around Yodoyabashi area..

Thanks!

Beside very hardworking, Main reason was house loan.

In Malaysia house loan maximum 40 years. In Japan house loan can go up to 2 Generation. This one have to work until cannot work anymore than son/daugther take over and continue paying house loan or Bank will take over and sales as auction.

One more thing was Japan are earthquake country, every times earthquake strike, hosue will damage. Need to work to get money for repair house/ buy new furniture / new electronics ...etc etc....

Earthquake was natural disaster. Insurance will not cover it. So your car / house damage in earthquake wlll not be cover.

20 Years, eatquake damage my car 6 times. 4 times are total lost. I have to buy new car again without insurance claim....no work how to get money buy car?

Not only that. Their house is so small, alot of them dont want to go back. They rather work or go izakaya. If they retire, they dont know what to do at home and the wife also not use to seeing their husband at home. So its common for then to get a divorce as the wife cannot stand the husband at home and their kids all grown up.

Another reason is that retirement age have been raised due to Pension System. Its sort of a legalized Ponzi system. The younger generations are suppose to pay for it why the retiree enjoy their pension. However population are shrinking, while people are living longer. Furthermore alot of youngster now work as freeter (partime) where they do not need to pay pension.

trains do get crowded during peak hours too so try to avoid taking train during that time if possible.. but at least more better than taking the bus. if you have strollers, bus is really inconvenience especially when it's crowded. however i saw there are some tourists conquer part of the bus with their strollers. not only 1 but is 2 or 3 that is not folded up at all whistling.gif

Japan house is not that expensive if it not in tokyo.

My teacher built his own house the size of 1500sqft only cost RM600k with the land on top the mountain.

My colleague redo his house double storey on his farther land in fukushima is only RM360k.

What is expensive is the house tax. Even you have to pay the parking space in your home in tokyo area.

What area you are in till damage 6x your car ?

One total lost at Sendai Tohoku earthquake. The rest are 6 - 7 magnitude earthquake at Tokyo / Chiba / Saitama and car was parked at those automatic system carpark. Quake so strong until car fall off from car holder inside the car parked system.

I also total lost a car while driving on slippery winter road. It almost kill me. Since this accident, I no longer driving when winter time.


I got a house which is 1 hour away from Tokyo City but address still Tokyo. House installment was Rm16000 per month (convert Yen to RM) X 40 Years installment
House size similar to sinchan ...double story houses with car park.
