1) See highlight above
2) Buy at Toyama station. Snow Wall is only from its opening in April till around June
3) There's a crowd predictor website that you can Google and checked. Well, don't think crowd will be that bad. Plus, you can buy express pass for USJ. it's all about how much you willing to spend.
4) Places you are going is scenic...but doesn't seems romantic enough for proposal...

I have already book my accommodation where my base would be in Kyoto and Osaka for 5 nights each. So far I feel that i have about an extra day each in both cities and thinking if I could visit somewhere else.

other than dontonbori & Kuromon Market.....any place can visit for shopping & souvenir at osaka? i duno what to plan for my last in osaka >.<

Anyone tried rooms with private baths in Kansai region? I tried searching and most are either not available or prices with 2k+ per night which is way over budget.

Edit: Or how do I make sure the ryokan has private bath that can be rented? I guess that can be a cheaper alternative. thanks

I use their broadband for 5 days in Tokyo. So far so good. Pick up and drop of easily at KLIA.

I read some of the pages to get information but the thread is just too big to follow

Well i appreciate the effort done by your, at least informative and well updated there

I did asked one of my friend who travel frequent to Japan for business, he recommend me to use this https://www.samuraiwifi.com.my/
RM20 per day and it does have the translator machine for rent as well.

Yes, I choose them because of the offer and also I can pick up the broadband a day earlier. So it save me one day rental charge as my flight depart at 11.20pm. For your information, they didn't ask for any deposit either.

If i'm not mistaken, they only allocate 3GB perday. Light usage is advisable if you share/go in a group.

Can ask how much the deposit required  ?

Well, that was my original plan but I overlooked and bought return Osaka.
I wonder whether AA allow us to change.

i think the merdeka promo code for first time user RM20 expire today...so you better be fast to do the booking first...
RM70 above can get RM20 discount...

Latest news on TV say Kansai International Airport might closed 1 month

Just arrived at KLIA after 6 hours delay at Narita.
Apparently MH88 couldnt land at Narita due to runway closure after old bomb discovered this morning, so the plane ended up at Incheon instead.

Can i claim insurance for this matter?
