you should rent from Malaysia then you have wifi all the way until you are back home safely. besides its easier to rent the pocket wifi when the person speaks english haha. somemore we are so unfamiliar with the directions overseas. try the travel website Klook. my mum rents her pocket wifi from them everytime we travel. so far got no problem. can set pickup at KL airport.

Depends on how many people are going together. If there's only 2-3 of you, I'll suggest SIM card instead of pocket Wifi.

You can get your SIM here: https://hello1010.my/country/asia/japan.html

Issues with pocket WIFI:
- Someone has to carry the WIFI with him/ her all the time.
- Have to ensure it doesn't run out of battery (power bank is definitely needed).
- It's hard to split up. When you do, only the person holding the WIFI router has connection.

As such, i prefer SIM; unless you don't mind the above and there's 4-5 of you travelling together and want to budget.

Just an additional option for you to consider.

So little in the itinerary yet it's pricey. Won't recommend that.

The 2-days Hakone Pass costs you 5,000+ yen which is approximately RM200 or less (due to drop in exchange rate).
Get your own pass and explore without the tour. The pass in inclusive of the train ride from Shinjuku to Hakone Yumoto station. If you want to arrive earlier/ faster, top up a little to ride the romancecar which can get you there in a little more than 1hr from Shinjuku.

Hmm i guess it depends on what kind of traveller you are. Tours are great since they come with guides that will share more about the culture & history of places. You also don't need to worry much about transportation and the itinerary since everything is planned out for you. Less effort required for planning, more convenience & 'educational' - so i guess the higher price is somewhat justifiable since you literally won't need to worry much about anything. They even pick you up & drop you back in Tokyo. Would be good for if you're not much of a 'planner' or if you're travelling with family/elderly etc.

But if you value flexibility and enjoy taking your time exploring places and things that interest you more, i would suggest you to plan your own trip. I purchased a Hakone Free Pass from Klook the last time i was there and it was pretty good value for money imo. It covers unlimited transport on the local buses & railway - you can also ride the cable car, ropeway & sightseeing cruise (which are also included in the tour package you shared). Hakone is a really beautiful place and i enjoyed exploring it at my own pace, which is a plus point when you plan your own itinerary smile.gif i bought a 3 day pass and just chilled there hahaha

https://www.klook.com/activity/821-hakone-t...day-pass-tokyo/ - i think there's a year-end promo code also but i don't really rmbr, you can check out their fb page/website

In a nutshell i guess it depends on what kind of experience you're looking for and the amount of time you're planning to spend there (day tour vs a 2day/3day pass). Pros & cons for both. Hope you have a good trip to Japan soon!

hey bro, what is the year end promo code and where to get it?

hey hey. There's one code YESALE10 that gives you a 10% discount - this one doesn't have minimum spending but i think there's a maximum amount of discount you can get.

Alternatively you can use another code YES300 which i used, this one has minimum spending & you'll needa split your purchase into 2 bookings (RM150+RM150 discount). If you're getting high-value products like more than one JR pass / a few diff tickets together (I got 2 JR Passes, a pocket wifi & Disneyland tickets), you can use this and get a RM300 discount.
