the price is difference. and i also want to find the Gshock porter limited edition hehe

Ah then you better be well versed in Japanese or good with setting the watch. If you purchase Japan limited edition watches, all the settings, instructions and details are in Japanese. You won't be able to find an English or Chinese version as it's not translated in other language (since it's only produced for Japan market).

Hello everyone, I'm planning to visit Tokyo in June probably the last 10 days of June or Mid of June. Japan-guide.com mentioned it is a rainy season, anyone went on June and can provide some feedback whether it is that bad?

It's hard to give such feedback. Assuming it didn't rain last year June, doesn't mean it won't rain this year.

In fact, this is something you can Google, ie. weather forecast, other than Japan-Guide site. If you want even more info, Google for the weather of June 2015, June 2016, June 2017 and predictions for 2018. Then analyze yourself and see if it's likely to rain.

yes, rainy season on June
June is low season, airlines will have promotion on that period
example airasia last year osaka promotion for June, RM257 for return flight

Ya, want to go to Japanese festival too, but have to bear with the heat will consider about it and have to plan again

btw, thank you for the info

Travel Japan using package (travel agent) vs own travel, actually can save how much ?

I'm poor at travel itinerary planning, might leave it to travel agent

Reporting in from the Zao area where I visited some foxes ...



... and did some ski'in. Zao Onsen had 72cm of fresh snow in the last 2 days so there's lots of powder on the slopes. But that also means lots of clouds and mist making visibility terrible, so newbs like me can't read the slope well enough to know when to turn and when not to slide into a huge pile of snow and lose balance.

Yeah it should be including shirakawago as well for days pass

I'd say those who plan own itinerary is not so much because wanna save money.

Its more to flexibility, you can choose what to go for and what to leave out, you can plan which place u wanna spend more time on and which place u rather leave out entirely.

Going with tour, everything is touch and go, everything follow schedule.

Experienced both and own itinerary ftw. Follow agency no freedom to stop as you like or move the itinerary.

Also, if you are lazy to plan then just Google for itinerary online.

hi all,
i'm planning to go but not so soon, maybe next year or 2 years but i just want to plan ahead.
i may not have an itinerary yet but the question that i have for now, is which airline is best and not too expensive(ANA is out of my budget) and i'm looking to go for the snow festival at hokkaido. If I want to save on flights should I book a direct from Pen to Sapporo or Pen to any place in Japan, and then local flight to Sapporo?

Airasia?

The reason why ppl use travel agent.
1. lazy to plan
2. too huge group hard to coordinate
3. elders cant walk too much

Self plan-
1. Get to do what you want.


Not about cost saving. Sometimes tour can be cheaper in sense they can get group tickets (depends how much tour agent wanna earn from the margin)

I just bought two tickets of USJ express pass for RM1200.

Is the price ok? Or it’s overpriced?

Gong Xi Fa Cai all!

Wanna to ask, in Osaka, once you all come back from day trips, say around 7 to 8pm, aside from Dotonbori, where else can go?

Thanks!
