I picked mine up in KIX Osaka! haha actually that's bcos i'm a cheapskate
i took a late night flight & reached early the next morning, if u rent a pocket wifi you'll basically have to pay for the amount of days the device is in your hands, so i opted to pick up when i touch down in Japan to save paying for one day since i won't need it in Msia or on the flight anyway LOL
Got mine from www.klook.com. They have devices that you can pick up in KLIA2 also. Pick-up was really easy & connection not bad. Would recommend

Hi Guys, I will visit Japan for 16 days on March. So far do not have any itinerary. Which one should I do first? Plan for the place to visit or plan for the accommodation first? I will fly to Haneda and back from Kansai.

Huh? Why pray to that mountain ?

It is a boring mountain.

Just a point to note, when you buy the Osaka Amazing pass, it has lots of free entrance and Umeda sky building is one of it (original price is quite exp). Since on the 6th day you've no planned itinerary, why not take a day trip to Nara (ps: deer park)?.

Are you a coffee addict? Recommend to go Owl cafe in Osaka.

Cheena ah. Seeing the mountain is like divinity so they just put their hands together and pray for luck, striking lottery etc.

my method :
1) list all tourist attractions or places you want to visit
2) see their location on the map, and plan your route based on their locations.
3) From there, you can determine where you want to stay.

If you dont mind carrying your luggage everywhere, you can start visiting straight away... otherwise, find a place to drop your luggage first.

thanks =))

thanks =))
