go on weekdays, do we still need the express card? or just buy it safer? whole day at there can finish those popular attraction?

If you don't mind not visiting any of the cafes/restaurants or miss most of the side shows, it's possible to tackle all of the main rides without an express pass during a weekday. Do study the map and think about what you wish to do. The park starts closing between 9 to 10 (depending on season)... so you don't really have much time to just relax and watch people.

Alamak, mine on 18th jan. will share how the tax is collected there.
Also hope my airbnb x kena cancel like last year. Mass cancellation but still able to secure properly 1 days before departure sweat.gif

I had no problems with my ABNB from my trip few weeks ago. As long as the property is registered, the risk of cancellation is not as bad as early to mid last year. Even if the price is just slightly lower than hotels, the space given is much much better most of the time. Business hotels are cramped most of the time, the only benefits i see in hotel is the possibility to leave your luggage there before the check-in time and sometimes the convenient location in tourist districts.

When choosing ABNB properties, of course, reviews are important... it's the same for hotels anyway.

I saw a lot of blog review mentioned that for the free pass like kamakura/enoshima, hakone, nikko. Why people always say that in order to take the train back to tokyo you need to take the last train at 5pm the latest? I check on the timetable seem like those line is actually did go back to tokyo even at a later time and 5pm is not the latest train to catch. Am i missing something here?
*
I have not came back that late for the others, but for Kamakura/enoshima, i used the pass and came back at almost 7pm... no problems for me..

Will be travelling to Kansai airport on Friday.
Question on clothing to bring on board plane. Is the Kansai airport well heated?
What type of clothing should one bring on board to keep warm while waiting for immigration clearance and luggage?

Thanks!

It's well conditioned inside the building. Neither very hot or cold.

Will a normal long sleeve shirt be adequate on arrival?

You'll be fine inside the building, as for when you leave the building, it will depend on the weather at the time. Best to prepare a jacket (or even Heat tech to change into) for the time when you leave the building.

Still in japan, beside don quijote, anyone can suggest me souvenir shop (beside 100 yen ) ? also the price are different between branch.

Also yes, please spend hakone for at LEAST 2 day one night. If you fan of onsen then its very good. If you wanted to see mt. fuji, then it depend on your luck. Mine after this might choose lake Kawaguchi.

Kamakura and eroshima can cover one day but pick 1st odakyu train aound 7am, than you got plenty time explore. Bridge to eroshima island now is maintenance as they chance tile.

Off topic: it is common for train station to remind us that they in high alert? Coz few days before, that was shooting as karaoke shop nearby shinjuru and police are like everywhere sweat.gif

Also if you want to buy simcard from malaysia, pelase dont buy joytel. Its sucks as always get dc ranting.gif  please consider renting wifi or other simcard provider

If they're still talking about being High alert now, it means they have been on high alert since i was last there.. (Nov last year).. sweat.gif
