Very expensive fare. Almost no service. 1 hour or 3 hour domestic route flight, only one cup of orange juice [Non refill], no snack at all. No Mineral water at all, Just orange juice, take it or leave it. sad.gif

During Golden Holiday season, they will arrange international route aircraft to take domestic passenger load. All IFE system in international route aircraft will be shut down. 15 inch LCD infornt of you also can't see anything. sad.gif Pocket Magazine are fully Japanese, no single English word.
You will boring to dead on aircraft.......

You cant used any electronic device on aircraft, You cant even watch movies or drama from your handphone......I once tries, due to too boring, Japanese guy sit beside me stare at me like I kill his whole families......


Fukuoka to Sapporo flight, almost 3 hours....It was most boring flight I ever takes....

Anyone attended Sumo tournament before? Any tips on which website is the best for gaijins to pre-order / buy?

I'll be in Tokyo 24th-27th Jan which coincides with the last few days of the January tournament (13th-27th Jan). Thinking of attending either 24th (Thurs) or 25th (Fri).

Wondering if I should pay a reseller to book for me or just wait for 8th December when ticket sales open and ownself go and place orders on the english website http://sumo.pia.jp/en/sumo01.jsp
*
I believe you will stay at 4 - 5 star hotel in Japan. Just email them ask them get the ticket for you.
When you pay so much money on 4 - 5 star hotel, must ask them do something smile.gif
This also what I usually do.

If you booked hotel room before 8 Dec then just try booked though link. If you already booked room at Tokyo, just ask hotel do for you

There are no direct flight from KL to Chubu (Nagoya)
Booking system will put you into KL > Bangkok > Chubu. Bangkok to Chubu Thai AirAsia X flight time does't match your schedule flight date.

Price around RM1k per night.
Got indoor & outdoor hot spring.

I'm comparing the price between riding train and buses to/from Sapporo-Hakodate.
I haven't decide whether to get Hokkaido JR Pass (5-Day or 4 Days flexi). What's your recommendation ?

Train are best option. If u want save budget, take night bus.

QUOTE(hwachong @ Dec 5 2018, 12:24 PM)
taking train or airport limousine better from haneda to shibuya?

airport limousine is double the price of train tho

reaching haneda at 10pm

I'm taking SIA, already booked accommodation at Shibuya

Is not about what airline, 10pm are peak time at Haneda International terminal. Alot airline reach same time and custom clearance will be long. Plus have to see luck too, if landing at Runway 23, then you are fxxx...from runway 23 to International terminal need 35 minute on ground taxing.

Train are best option, if cannot catch last train, limousine bus are only option.

During my study in Japan, i stay in guesthouse(ryokan) near ski resort during winter.
The owner always prepare breakfast and dinner for guests.
From my observation, Japanese tends to bath before dinner.
Therefore we (Malaysian who uncomfortable to see other people's private item) eat dinner first and then later go to bath (onsen).
One hour before closing time is the best time.

Just sharing my experience with you guys.

QUOTE(Current Events guy @ Dec 6 2018, 04:20 PM)
Some places don't allow for shower in the morning. I dont know why, maybe to save on heating bills.

As a guy who grew up in Malaysia, I'm used to taking a shower at least 2 times a day. That's why when I travel or work in countries with cold climate I'd still shower in the morning. Feels weird if I don't get to have that shower. With having your own bathroom, then you get to control when you can shower.
*
Japanese normally bath twice or three times per week only.
Onsen mostly on vacation spot, in city they go bath house. 300 to 500 yen per entries. Plus Japanese 6am already go working and back home almost 10pm, no more bath, just used water wash face and hair only.
