ah okok i get wat u mean d lol

You guys are splitting up is it? If that's the case then yes, more convenient to use SIM.

http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Japan

FREETEL is cheaper than U-Mobile and you can find it in Yodobashi and BIC, scroll down link to check it out:

Data rates
The SIM is either valid for 7 or 30 days according to package and not extendable in time, only expandable in volume:
1 GB for 7 days: ¥1,780 plus tax (Amazon.jp/Yodobashi: ¥1,922; Amazon.com: US$12.99)
2 GB for 30 days: ¥2,780 plus tax (Amazon.jp/Yodobashi: ¥3,000; Amazon.com: US$24.99)
When you have used up your data allowance, speed will be reduced to 150 Kbps for the rest of the validity. The only add-on option is 500 MB for ¥980 to be bought on their website. Social media of Facebook, WeChat, WhatsApp, Kakaotalk and Line is not debited from the data allowance and is free of charge.

close your google history. i think that's what sipping off all your data. by right just google maps and browsing and whatsapp that would not cost 7gb.

can just go to yodobashi or bic and slowly choose from there, the staff will help set it up as well to make sure its running

haha no worries, i know how to increase the portable wifi limit for free

thanks but it is not cheaper
freetel - 1gb for 7 days - ¥2460 at Yodobashi. ¥2280 at dunno where. Wiki's info could be old. But good news is whatapp and some other apps are free to use. No count towards your quota !
umobile - 1.4gb for 7 days - ¥2000

ok thanks will look into this alternative as well

btw sifu - can Suica be use in Osaka and Kyoto?

Boleh

Take the train/subway. Still got time.

Or you can take the Airport Bus to Shinjuku and take a train/taxi from there. Should be much cheaper

Subway is until 12am+. I remember hanging around golden gai till midnight xD

thx for the tips, my situation with baby is a bit risky added autumn is cool at night. guess i need to stick back with taxi, anyone have cheaper taxi options?

Your estimation is about right if you are talking about taxi.
You can search the web for fixed fare prices and I think there are no additional price for a Alphard.

bro, after looking the the bus drop point. I think u make a good point! I found that the bus stopping at ikebukuro which is really near to Itabashi! still have last saikyo ride around 12:30AM and just incase I miss it still the taxi fares only cost me not more than 3000yen. I need to plan a bit on your tips! great tips!

thanks for the info! will look in again!

Btw, I got own HP number at Japan, Those travel data package are not my kind of stuff to study it.


Tokyo midnight train also called "Drunker Train" or '' Hell Train''
People will vomit , pee , shit inside train. I not kidding. I see too much until used to it already. Most of people won't take 11:30 onward train.
some so drunk until take off all their clothes and lie on floor of train.
You got Baby, if your baby make any noise inside train during this hour, sure kena fxxx by those drunker up side down.

You have to calculate the risk

Glad I could help.
Once you come out of Arrival hall, look left and you will see the ticket counter with the blue displays. From there to the bus stop is a short walk. More description here - http://hnd-bus.com/airport/guide/ticket.html

Btw the site above seems to be for another bus company but directions are all the same. Who knows there could be a direct bus to itabashi itself, so just ask at the counter. They could well be selling tickets for many bus companies

They allow but you can carry on only two bags. So if you got a hand luggage, you can carry one plastic shopping bag
Just two pieces of carry-on total.
