To all newcomers on this thread, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do some research first. There are many resident forumers here on this thread that are super friendly and helpful so please do not annoy them with questions like "What to see in Tokyo?", "Recommend me sightseeing places in Kyoto" "What is the weather in Tokyo now" or similar questions. Narrow down your questions and list down your expectations/requirements so that we can provide you with more accurate advices.

Also, do not ask for itineraries. Come up with your own itinerary and enlist forumers' help with checking and giving recommendations. We understand travelling in Japan is not easy especially if you are a first-timer but note that we discourage spoon feeding.

Japan: Season & Weather

Spring / 春 (March to May)
The plum blossoms (“ume” / “梅”) bloom in late February, signaling that a welcome spring is around the corner. The mild spring season brings out Japan’s beautiful cherry blossoms (“sakura” / “桜”), which are enjoyed from late March through April throughout the country. By May, temperatures are comfortable and vegetation has grown lush.

Summer / 夏 (June to August)
Summer kicks off with the dreary rainy season (“tsuyu” / “梅雨”) from June to July, during which hydrangea (“ajisai” / “アジサイ”) blossoms can be seen shrouded in mist. This is followed by screaming cicadas (“semi” / “セミ”) and intense heat and humidity that peaks in August—watch out for mould. Spectacular, large-scale fireworks displays are held in the summer months throughout Japan.

Autumn / 秋 (September to November)
The transition into autumn is marked by typhoons and heavy rain, beginning in August and lasting until September. Weather cools pleasantly in October, and November weather is relatively dry and mild. Gorgeous red and golden leaves (kouyou 紅葉) such as Japanese maple and ginkgo can be enjoyed through early December.

Winter / 冬 (December to February)
December is the start of ski season, and Japan’s snow country regions are famous for deep and consistent powder snow conditions. In Tokyo, winter is cold, sunny, and dry, and the city experiences only a few days major of snowfall in January or February. Winter illuminations, marvelous spectacles of light displayed in cities, compensate for a lack of vegetation and short daylight hours.

Tip on Shinkansen (bullet train) by sacwoc

QUOTE
If it is too big you can store it in the leg room as the space between seats are quite big. But then might be an uncomfortable ride. If you do get the last row there is space at the back of the seat. There are also shelves at the top but not sure if your luggage can fit in. However if you are travelling after May 2020 you will have a problem as the new rule about luggage will kick in.

2. How is the Usage of Credit Card in Japan? Is it widely accepted?
While Japan is a cash based country, Credit Card is commonly used in many places - from department stores, drugstores, taxis to convenient stores (yes, 7-11,Family Mart etc). So when do you need cash? In neighborhood restaurants, small shops, markets, and at (rural) ryokans, just to name a few. You will also need cash to pay for your train and bus ticket/ pass.

QUOTE
You’ll find that large shops, supermarkets and hotels accept credit and debit cards, as will most taxis. But smaller souvenir shops, neighborhood restaurants, local market stalls and traditional Japanese ryokan limit their transactions to cash. This is also the case for most guesthouses operated by private owners.

3. GUIDE: How much do I bring to Japan?

Flight, accommodation and shopping aside, you can use the below as Guideline.

--> Transport
Common mode of transport: train, subway, bus

QUOTE
Narita to Tokyo: ~¥2,500
Tokyo to Narita: ~¥2,500

Per day Travel within Tokyo: ¥1,000

Each *Side Trip (eg. Odaiba, Mitaka, Yokohama, Toyosu etc): Add on ¥1,000 (for return trip)

For example: 7 days = estimated ¥7,000 (travel within Tokyo) + ¥2,000 (2 side trips) + ¥5,000 (airport transfer)
Total: ¥14,000


*Assumption from Shinjuku station to side trip locations.
*Side trip not inclusive of Hakone/ Fuji 5 Lakes, Kamakura, Nikko etc as those has packages to cater for it.

--> Food
There is the budget way and the luxury way; everyone have different spending pattern/ habit. We’ll look at something average (comfortable):-

QUOTE
Breakfast in Café + Drink: ¥600 (eg. in Doutor)
Lunch: ¥1,200 (drinks are given complimentary in restaurants)
Dinner: ¥2,000 (drinks are given complimentary in restaurants)
Additional - Snacks you buy from shopping streets etc : ¥500
Coffee/ tea time: ¥1,000

Estimated per day: ¥5,300
Estimated for 7 days: ¥37,100


Budget way:
Lunch & Dinner – look for restaurants that serve food at below ¥1,000 per bowl/set or convenience stores bento/ food.

Shopping - own budget. A box of Shiroi Koibito costs between ¥800 - ¥3,000+. Simple keychain, luggage tag cost around ¥500 each. Will recommend souvenir shopping at Daiso (¥100 per item) and/or Don Quijote (short for Donki).

[b]6. Hotel Booking Websites (Please compare 1st)

- The usual Agoda.com, Booking.com, Asiarooms.com, Hotels.com, Expedia.com.
- Also check out Airbnb listings. Plenty of them around Japan.
- Some recommendations that I've personally stayed in before are Toyoko Inn & APA Hotel which are usually located in convenient locations near train stations all around Japan.
https://www.toyoko-inn.com/eng/index.html
http://www.apahotel.com/en/

7.1 VISA Application
NO VISA REQUIRED FOR MALAYSIANS if your passport is compliance with ICAO standards.

7.2 ARRIVAL Card/ Disembarkation Card

During your flight to Japan, it's common for Air Stewardess to distribute the Arrival Card for you to fill. This is a compulsory card for all foreigners going in to any country. There may be cases whereby you were asleep while they distribute the card and thus may have missed it. You can request from the Air Stewardess or fill the form at the desk/ counter right before the queue for Immigration. However, you're advised to fill it in the plane when you have the time. Queue at immigration may be long so if you stopped by to fill your details and then queue, that may delay your time in leaving the airport.

Sample image of Arrival Card

How to fill it correctly? Please take note that there have been people who were denied entry due to wrong information filled.

8. Budget Food Options
- My favourite choices are Sukiya & Yoshinoya, always cheap and satisfying. There's also Matsuya, similar type of Gyudon (beef rice bowl) restaurants.
- Convenient Stores (Family Mart, Lawsons, 7 Elevens, Circle K, etc.) are found almost everywhere and food is plenty and affordable.
- Supermarkets usually sell cheap cheap prepared meals after a certain time.

10. Popular Travelling Dates
- Japan Golden Week (28th April - 9th May 2018) --> avoid if possible as a lot of Japanese are travelling around Japan, big crowd everywhere.
- Bon Odori (13th August - 15th August 2018)
- China National Day Holiday (1st October - 8th October)

11. Traveling with Internet!

Travel sim Option (3G/4G only, no calls) Hello1010: https://hello1010.my/country/asia/japan.html
Their SIM comes in 3 sizes: Standard, Nano and Micro SIM. You get all 3 and just use whichever applicable for your phone.


JTB Malaysia also offers sim/ wifi. Check their site for update: https://www.jtbmalaysia.com/

- Pocket WIFI from various companies. Google search around or check the threads for good deals.

12. Prepaid IC Card (for local train/ subway/ buses)
There are many passes available for Japan, so do check it out before purchasing. Integrated Circuit (IC) Card works like Touch N Go in Malaysia:

[color=gray]Note: Prepaid IC card can be purchased from the station. ¥500 is charged as deposit for the card. You can return the IC card at a refund counter @ airport to get back your deposit.

Note: either one will be good; PASMO can be used on JR line and vice versa.

14. Emergency/ Disaster
It is not uncommon for Japan to be strike with earthquake and tsunami. However, as foreigners without proper training to manage the situation, it is easy for us to panic. Please go through some of the sites below to understand what you should do when disaster strikes while you are on a trip.

QUOTE
"All smartphones in Japan have an earthquake/ tsunami alert system installed, hence, about 5 to 10 seconds before a disaster strikes the warning system should give people a precious few extra seconds to escape to a safer place or duck under the table. When the alert goes off a buzzing noise is heard, and a voice keeps saying “Jishin desu! Jishin desu” (meaning “There is an earthquake”) until the earthquake stops.

Since an earthquake that happens in a coastal area is more likely to generate a tsunami, a warning system improvement contributes to minimizing the loss of lives and property by giving an alert 5-10 minutes before the tsunami comes." - http://jpninfo.com/50905

KANSAI Good Tip for Unique Open Air Coach contributed by yooyin

QUOTE
Ticket can be purchased online (via Klook) and just pick up ticket at KIX or OSAKA Airport. To experience Unique Open Air Coach "The Rich" (Coach No.5) which is the best, tickets are only available as a same-day ticket in Sagano-line Station booth. You need to specifically inform the staff that you want Coach Number 5, otherwise, they will give you normal coach (window).

Recommendation: Do the Sagano Train in the morning from Kameoka torokko station backwards to Arashiyama torokko station. Take JR line to Umahori Station, then walk to Kameoka torokko Station. Be there 30 minutes or earlier to secure ticket. Ticket counter opens 8.50am at Kameoka torokko station and depending on the crowd in the station, if there are 20+ people already in queue, it's likely they will open up 5-10 minutes earlier to ease up the crowd.

hi all, i'm planning my pre wed photography + honeymoon during autumn
location: kyoto + nara + maybe osaka.
bought tix for 12-20 oct. (hopefully can see full red autumn leaves during this period)

actual photography might take place during 17,18 oct

current scenery ayam thinking for the photo:
1. nara park - deer, mountain, sunset (must)
2. fushimi inari - shrine stuff (must)
3. bamboo forest - bamboo trees lol (like waste of time?)
4. sagano train


might not go alot of places due to time constraint for photographer and travelling. so limit to few "more memorable" places.

wanna ask is there any other 'hidden' location asides from the more tourist common places to take my pre-wed photo?
and any advise for taking pre-wed photo in japan.

Reporting in from Narita. Landed at 7.25, crossed immigration and customs at 7.50. Then jialat sangkut for 40mins queueing / waiting for JR pass exchange (done at 8.30)

Main JR travel Centre only opens at 8.15, in the meantime the ticket counter only got 1 person doing pass exchanges and the queue panjang gila.

Dear Sempais, , lets say one arrive at KIX aboard AA on the D7 1 flight from KL to Kix departing at 14:15 and arriving at Kix at 21:40, around what time would he be able to clear immigration?

That depends as I have a friend who had issue with the passport chip, withheld at immigration for almost 1 hour, came out to airport around 10.45 almost 11pm. Luckily still manage to catch last train/bus to the hotel late night.
