anyone travel to JPN during month of Jan / Feb? Is it alot of rain fall during this period?

Im planning my trip there during Jan / Feb to Osaka and Kyoto

In the time it takes you to get a response you could’ve easily googled Tokyo rainfall and gotten the answer for yourself.

Anyway Jan/Feb nice and cold but not unbearably so. I always do a few days in Tokyo around that time on my way to ski.

mr.google can help u....

and every year the weather is different nowadays

Rain isn't strong but it will be cold. Just came back yesterday from Tokyo

This year not going skiing anymore?

Had a baby in September so a bit too early 😂
Next season maybe can ski again but toddler will be too young, so if end up going then will have to dump him at childcare at the ski resort (both side parents in MY not SG so can’t ask them to babysit also).

Anyone worried to go Japan in February due to Coronavirus outbreak?

A lot of Japanese are already wearing masks regularly all the while even when there is no outbreak. So, not to worry. They are courteous enough to wear mask if they are sick.

Even the PRC, HKnites, Taiwanese, and Korean tourists were wearing masks when I was there last week.

Just watch out for the South East Asians (especially Thais, Malaysians, and Indonesians).

I encountered numerous Thais, Malaysians, and Indonesians there in Japan and they don't bother to wear masks when they were coughing/sneezing. At least the PRCs were wearing masks.

Even when I landed in KLIA, again the same thing. Even the PRCs were wearing masks here. And again I saw our locals coughing here and there without covering their mouth.

"A Chinese woman visiting the Japanese city of Ito -- on a peninsula south of Tokyo -- said that a server at a restaurant shouted “Chinese! Out!” at her, according to a recording shared on a Weibo account.

The recording, which included a subsequent phone call to the unnamed eatery, was shared by a reporter from Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV.

A woman who answered the phone at the restaurant said it was refusing customers from China and Southeast Asia because the owner was worried about the coronavirus, according to the recording. “If our owner contracts the virus and dies, whose responsibility is it then?” she said."

If you're Chinese, don't speak Chinese lor

i can speak japanese ad i am going solo so nobody to speak to.. i can order with japanese so no issue haha

Malaysia work culture mah. Have to show boss and everyone how hardworking we are, even when sick we still come to work. Also doctor only gives 1 day MC. Cipudah!

The Japanese way of doing business. When they want your money, it is at their convenience.

I also grounded by company for going Japan (HQ) which I always do. Now handover all job to another. No job on hand, so Freedom!!!

Chinese + South East Asia. Booom

Don't go that part of the world, now is good time for you to look see look see USA and EU.

I am going to Fukuoka in 4 days time, will update if I get bashed out from restaurant.

My elderly mom want to defer date of travel (in March with MAS eco)

Do we need rebook the flight at same time we cancel the flight?

We cancel the ticket first and rebook the flight later right?

I think better call up MAS customer service and ask them for the right procedure. The good thing about these national carriers are you get better customer help and more lenient allowances for changes.

Take out your Malaysian passport throw at their face 😂
