I hope that I will be able to hanami this year. I'll be going to Shinjuku Gyoen on the first week of April.

Just wondering is there anyone in Japan currently willing to help me purchase a shirt from GU.

Thanks in advance

has anyone tried before entering Japan with passport validity less than 6 months but more than 3 months?

I don't think you can even get out of Malaysia with < 6 months validity. Why risk it?

better don't take risk to try, later destroy your whole trip
malaysia renew passport speed is very fast now

course i wanna book a JR pass but they need my passport info. I can only renew next month.

I want to purchase the pass now because I'm not sure about the price by the time I renew passport. I purchase from klook though, so the price go up and down everyday

JR Pass prices are fixed. Klook price fluctuate just a bit because of the exchange rate.

you can just wait till next month to buy after you renew passport

new passport last page will have your old passport number

and it's cheaper now

Hi Sifus, kindly give some advise on my itinerary.

For day one Nakano broadway if you plan to shop tax free figures, toy manga etc from Mandarake 7.30pm the tax free counter will close. Most shops will close slightly early compare with Malaysia but restaurant still open until 10-11 i think.

Wahhh you're expected to wake up 5am or 6am daily while getting home pretty late. Think twice about your packed itinerary as after 1-2 days down the road you'll so worn out, you may not be able to wake up early and thus this may mess up your plan Suggest you reduce some activity and place the less important ones as 'backup' so in case if you're early/ on schedule, you can go ahead. If you're late then can skip those activities - but at least you did the ones in your priority list.

one hour BIC really not enough
save the link below to get BIC discount
japan coupon

If closed probably will go back rest and sleep after dinner. Since going to wake up early on next day.

The time is for references only. Not really follow 100%. Probably will spend more time in BIC and late for the dinner.

That is why my activity until 8pm like that I dont list where to go already. Probably will go back and rest. Only the last 2 days have to stay until 10pm in Disney. Btw, the time just for references only la.

i think if he/she has items to buy before visiting BIC then it's possible to be an hour...but if you are doing window shopping, 1 hour seems insufficient

me every time go also spend more than 1 hour because simply too many new gadgets to look/fiddle around

Not sure going to stay at BIC how long. Scare I will buy a lot when see those camera things.

Thanks for the coupon link!

i went there spend 3 hours at least, haha

if for lens, can buy at there
if for camera, better buy in malaysia, because the warranty issue.

waaa. don't scare me leh. later i spend more than 3 hrs then GG.

Not going to buy lens or body. Mostly accessories if I want to buy. I already check not all the lenses are cheap at there.

Tsukiji market closed on wednesday in case you wanted to go into the inner market.
Outer market I guess still open though.
But outer market nowadays is like a tourist market / attraction sia.
