Omurice is nice to take video or photo but actually quite pricey haha

Just touch down at Narita and it’s 12 degree

yape. JTB right? does this mean we can actually buy our sim cards and the train pass in either Lot 10 or KLCC or imbi there? all those offices are still available? sorry. long time didnt go to KL already. Sarawak here.

#1. Are you asking about the SIM you plan to buy? I have no idea because I don't go for expensive ones when there's cheaper and better alternatives.
#2. If you're referring to other option of SIM, then like I said, check page #1 post #1. Everything is there.

yes. I am referring to the page 1 information. Here. i paste it here.

"9. Traveling with Internet!
- Travel Sim Option 1 https://t.iijmio.jp/en/index.html *can be purchased from JTB Malaysia before your trip*

Travel sim Option 2 (3G/4G only, no calls) Hello1010: https://hello1010.my/country/asia/japan.html
Their SIM comes in 3 sizes: Standard, Nano and Micro SIM. You get all 3 and just use whichever applicable for your phone. "


open the link, https://t.iijmio.jp/en/shop/index.html
and it shows JTB Malaysia link.
Hope I am not mistaken.

Option #1 was contributed by another user/ mod. Personally have not used them, probably someone else can comment.

Option #2 I've bought from them a couple of times. They will courier to you directly at RM6 fee in Peninsular but if your total purchase >RM100, the delivery is FOC (also for Peninsular). It's more convenient for them to deliver straight to you.

cool. thanks for the tips. First time going. Really got a lot of details to go over. Option 2 really does look cheaper.

No worries. To which part of Japan? Once you've got your rough itinerary, you can share it here for the rest to comment/ give suggestions to improve.

not yet finalized. still in planning process. but basically is 8 days, tokyo - osaka. Btw. i've just open the fb link on this option:

Travel sim Option 2 (3G/4G only, no calls) Hello1010: https://hello1010.my/country/asia/japan.html

turns out in Japan 3G cannot connect to their network. Minimum 4G. Is that true? both our phones are only 3G phones. Quite old already.

For 8 days only will suggest you stick to 1 place. If you're going to do 3-4 days in Tokyo, it's rush and you won't get to enjoy much. You'll also need to get the JR pass for shinkansen which will easily cost you few hundred ringgit.

Not sure about 3G. When I used it last year it was still okay (phone auto change mode 4G/3G) so i did not have any problem. Drop them a message or give the office a call.

Another option is to get our local DIGI prepaid card, buy a Roaming Pass for Rm25, you can get 2GB data + 30mins local call for 3 days. Total you only need Rm75 for 9 days total 6GB data.

DIGI center told me, after deduct RM25, the balance must more than RM50, otherwise cannot buy the roaming pass
means you credit must have RM75 or above

I think minimum at least Rm10 in your prepaid card instead of Rm50. Because 4 months back while i'm in China, i'm using Digi prepaid for roaming, I only top up Rm60 to buy twice Rm25+Rm25 pass for 6 days.

Anyway, i going to Kyoto/Osaka this coming Sunday. I will update you on this method. But i'm very sure there is no such rules to maintain rm50 balance to purchase roaming data.

good, mean the sales guy lie me

Sounds good. I'll look it up and update on Post #1.

if 2nd day finish up 2GB, then speed will be slow down? ok, just saw this ...so it is not slowing down but will charged at standard roaming rates, unless purchase the pass again...
but from your experienced, is 2GB enough use for 3 days?

if this is your first time to japan, suggest you only stick to 1 place

tokyo or kyoto/osaka alone 8 days also insufficient

What does it matter what other people's experiences are? What matters is your own data usage pattern mah. If you gonna stream 4k video for a few hours a day on the train in the daytime then go to hotel backup your entire day's raw videos and photos to the cloud at night then of course it won't be enough. If you just whatsapp and Google maps then more than enough.

Having said that, my last Japan trip I used 2.2gb in 8days (phone only).

Ohh. Means the pass is applicable to prepaid only? I remember postpaid has something similar. Remember using it in Singapore.

Kyoto Day 1
-Fushimi Inari
-Nishiki Market

Hi guys for above days, which day which will not take up so much time and can complete within half day? Thanks.

yeah. we booked the ticket first. May have been greedy at first. now after reading, realize wont be able to cover all the places in both area. So might be targeting a few places we want to visit.

and this happens to be one of the places my wife and I wanna go. Is it really moving already? Or has it been delayed?
