Hi all, can I know which airlines that you guys fly on? I'm looking for best price to travel to Tokyo end of this month. I just search on AA, MAS, Thai Airways and Jap Airline.
Last minute planning for family trip... sweat.gif

End of this month is peak season due to the start of Sakura season. So, there is no 'best' price especially since it's so last min. try check Vietnam Air (transit in Vietnam) and also ANA. AA is actually not that cheap after you factor in baggage and meal, so I suggest you go for full carrier instead.

you can also try flights for mid-April since it slightly less peak (but u'll miss full-bloom sakura)

Anyone can help to purchase Studio Ghilbli museum tickets via Lawson? Especially those staying in Japan.
Its all sold out via official website for out of japan purchase.

If can please drop me pm.

Thanks.

Luckily managed to spam F5 and get 2 tickets last Saturday.

Probably you already know, but in case you don't...this is Lawson online ticketing for Ghibli Museum in Japanese language and should correspond with the ticketing machine at Lawson stores. maybe check whether your wanted day/slot is still available or not.

no need JR pass. Tokyo Metro Pass enough. Day 4 and 5 you can get Fuji Hakone pass but that is for 3 days

Thanks for your reply. In that case I will look into Seishun Juhaici kippu for Tokyo purpose.

Hi all,

I need advice on the below itinerary.

Day 1: Arrival at almost midnight
Day 2: Tokyo (Asakusa, Skytree, Akihabara, Ueno, Tokyo Tower, Kokyo Gaien, Ginza, Tsukiji if still there next year)
Day 3: Tokyo Disneyland
Day 4: Hokane, Gotemba, Lake Kawaguchiko
Day 5: Lake Kawaguchiko >> back to Tokyo (Odaiba, Shinjuku)
Day 6: Nikko Day trip
Day 7: Saitama Day trip
Day 8: Tokyo (Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Ikeburo)
Day 9: Tokyo free & easy & fly back to KL at night

Do I need JR pass? The ticket is MYR 1k+ but mostly my trips are still within Kanto region (except Fuji). Currently I'm not too sure if buying unlimited pass will be better or using IC card is better. Any other cards to recommend if according to the above itinerary? Try to squeeze my budget actually.

You have too many places to visit on day 2 suggest to cut down tokyo gaien, Ginza and tsukiji for next time while the other all nearby train station, Akihabara is best visit during weekend road close for pedestrian paradise and I spend afternoon and night over there biggrin.gif . For Nikko trip I would recommended 2 days to explore more places since you spend most time travel long hours train already...

Tokyo area full bloom March24,
Kansai area full bloom March31,

Flowers usually last a week after full bloom.

If you miss full bloom by a few days, still OK also cos you can catch the petals falling time which is nice in its own way also



Even if you miss by a week or more, there are places with late blooming varieties.
