Anyone can share on how to save on Universal Studios Japan tickets (normal +express)? They're damn expensive via klook/voyagin/etc

Never thought of taobao. THose are unauthorised sellers, worst case got a fake ticket

As for the dates I wanna go to USJ, should be released in the next few days..

Btw need to ask, basically for the buy 1 free 1 voucher to work, just checkout the 2 tickets and enter the code and that's it?

The location on the Airbnb map is actually an approximate so imagine all the Airbnb located right at prime areas like dotonburi is not actually there. I had PM each owner for their location which are like 1-2 stations away.



In Osaka, I booked Ibis Hotel for around RM330/night for 5 nights. Right opposite Dotonburi.



In kyoto, the hotel is right in the centre of Gion for around RM370/night for 7 nights.

I managed to get Ibis at around 35% discount after seeing it on hotels combined. I hope it isn't noisy as it's just across Dotonburi.

Is that RM446 before adding in luggage, meals and seats? I was looking into it yesterday and it cost around RM700 ish for return tickets bteeern Jan and March next year.

Anyhow, it's still cheap but not a deal breaker to impulsively travel to Narita as expenses for accommodation and food is still high.

I wonder if it's possible to travel to Tokyo for 8 nights with a RM4k budget per person staying in a 3 star hotel with double bed and eating reasonable food (RM100/day)? Travelling with someone.

Sharing room with travel partner, thats why double room

Maybe I should have put it as 150/day x8 nights instead lol..

Gonan be challenging for sure and the double beds in Japan are small so gotta be careful with that as well. A lot of them are like 120-130cm beds.

Like this for example, APA Hotel in Tokyo



How many nights and when are you going? Care to share the budget?

Can refer to their website. I haven't gone to Japan yet lol. Mine is the standard room with queen bed. Actually it's a 160cm bed, I thought it was 150cm.

Checked the price again for my dates. Omg it's like RM624 per night now!!

I noticed Holiday Inn is right next to Ibis!

About to pull the trigger on 2 x USJ Express Pass 7 from kkday which offers the cheapest for my dates in mid November.

By any chance anyone can share a workable promo code as there isn't any on the internet

I'm thinking of getting a Kansai One Pass for my travels in Osaka and Kyoto. I know I can get it at KIX Airport but there's no mention of operating hours as I am arriving at 920pm which is a bit late..

Also I would like to get it at the airport to get discounts for Haruka train to transfer to Osaka

Those day passes are hard to utilise for me because I won't be visiting many places in a day. Prefer to take my time to exploring places and I don't really like the "touch and go" style.

Thanks! JR West Office does indeed close at 11pm!

One less thing to worry about

Cheaper by how much?

Just another option: Hello1010 Japan 15 days 6GB sim card for RM75

Can we hand carry/check in fruits (eg: berries/melon/corn) from Japan to Malaysia?

I'm arriving around the same time. JR West office closes at 11pm where u can get the Kansai One Pass.

It was tempting to get Express Pass 7 but I read that you can really get on most rides without queue close to the closing hours. Got Express 4 in the end because justifying paying almost RM600 for EP7 was hard

Peak autumn colours in Kyoto is around mid to end November judging from past few years history.

10-15C is bearable but not with strong wind :x

When it comes to big discounts like buy 1 free 1 at events, don't expect it to be easily obtainable la.

I bought the b1f1 voucher for RM110 from someone who said below when I asked how he got the voucher:

U can still get klook's 15/20% site wide discount which I think is also applicable to the express passes (refer to klook's fb posting)

Good thing I managed to grab the discounts during 9.9 previously

Edit: Forgot about kimono rentals. Hoping to get the 15/20% discounts
