Is it worth it to visit shirakawa-go in middle of october?

will the view be beautiful because usually ppl go in winter where the houses are lit?

should i skip it in october & wait for winter to go visit shirakawa-go?

want to survey about airfare price.

from KUL-Osaka-KUL or from KUL-Tokyo-KUL or from KUL-Hokkaido-KUL (basically from KUL to major cities in Japan)

taking into account any flight company, transit or multi-city flights, excluding zero fare, free seats etc

I've been to Japan a few times with AA. I normally pay around RM1040 (with 20kg luggage 1 way & no food) to KIX & HND. Sometimes multi-city also that price.

how much is considered 'normal' or 'average' price to pay for a return flight to Japan?

just wondering whether all this while i've been rip-off

FYI, I just bought a 7-day ordinary pass from JTB Malaysia last weekend @ RM1121. I saw from Klook.com is RM1119, but there are hidden "charges", so technically u wont be paying exact RM1119.

Can anyone recommend cheap stores for shopping in Osaka? I'm looking for something similar to Tokyo Ameyoko's Niki no kashi. Wanna buy the usual Japanese snacks.

I've used samurai wifi before. great speed, convenient to collect & return (mine was at KLIA2)
