Tour then Apple Tour are currently the Best. 
I highly recommended this one.

Most Easy, Just Tokyo.
Add abit more challenge then Tokyo + Hakone

I will definitely check on Apple Tour. Thanks for recommending. smile.gif
My mum also ask me to check on Golden Destinations Travel, her friend told her to wait as there will be a promotion package. Any idea about how's the review for this agency?

Hi there, is budget a concern? And what are you looking forward to do in this trip? Eg shopping or food trip? How much is your budget per pax?

Most of us here DIY our trips, meaning we do research beforehand and plan our itinerary ahead. That saves money and you can take your time to enjoy or walk at your own pace. Also depending on how old your mum is - whether she's able to walk and take train following your pace or she has to take frequent breaks (with this, tour is better). Just want to understand more before any of us give any recommendation(s).

Budget around RM5-6k per pax. Our purposes to visit Japan are shopping and Foods smile.gif
I actually prefer to DIY, but since i never been to Japan. It will be very difficult to plan for the first time, plus recently my works are overloaded. sweat.gif
So, we decided to signup tour package from travel agency. Next time will be DIY then laugh.gif
and Yep, my mum is still can walk, run and jump. biggrin.gif

A lot of different opinion from forumers laugh.gif there's no right or wrong, only personal opinion of what is best.

While I always root for DIY, I understand your situation. First time to any country (that don't remotely looks like KL) can be overwhelming and confusing. Since you have decided on tour, I agree with it as well. Not just itinerary, but Japan requires extensive research if you plan to walk around on your own. I doubt I'll be able to go around on my own, had it not been my friends who led the trip in my first visit. Because they brought me around and I experienced the place, I was able to plan my 2nd and 3rd trip without worry. Its because I know what to expect.

For recommendation of agency, I'll root for Mayflower. Honestly speaking, I liaise with Mayflower on many occasions for event, trips (work related) and they are very professional. I'm not sure how much it'll cost for your trip to Japan, but you can rest assured that things are well taken care of with Mayflower. And they work transparently, so you don't have to worry about any hidden cost.

Last but not least, with your budget, go for packages with more Free & Easy. That will enable you to enjoy shopping and food more leisurely.

Hi Everyone! I am going to Osaka on early november for 5 days. It’s my first time to Japan. biggrin.gif Can anyone recommend an affordable and good internet plan? Sim card? I need internet plan only, call is not needed. I did checked on lazada/11street and there are people selling the sim cards for around 60-80rm. Not sure whether it can work or not. Kindly advice?
