safe trip

Good that one of my non-cancellation booking able to refund T__T

Thanks the property owner >.<

Safe journey and enjoy!

Times car rental would be a good choice for Hokkaido. They have a shuttle to pick you up from Chitose Airport to their office not far from the airport. Their prices are competitive too.

Wow..to my surprise, I managed to take the last Haruka Train to Kyoto Station yesterday!!!

Arrived Kansai Airport 20 minutes earlier.

My experience was as below:
9:35pm: step out from aircraft.
9:40pm: take internal train to main terminal. I run to immigration like nobody business.

There are 4 stations there,

9:42pm: clear 1st counter (finger print & take photo)
9:45pm: clear 2nd counter (finger print & take photo), and gave me entry Japan sticker (I dont understand why there are repeated steps)
9:49pm: took my luggage~~
9:51pm: clear custom goods declaration counter.
9:53pm: ask customer officer that where is the green machine. (It is located 2nd level, outside direction after exit custom)

9:55pm: run to green machine
10:00pm: I spent 5 minutes to play with the green machine. At the end, I went to JR office (beside the green machine), and the officer help me to exchange ticket immediately. OMG - Klook gave the outdated "exchange ticket" instruction, I cant get the scan QR code option from the green machine.
10:04pm: Got the ticket. Luckily, the JR train Station is infront of the JR office also.
10:07pm: Step in to Haruka Train.

God bless me!!!

Japan really couldn't or wouldn't ban Chinese nationals for travels? Really scary thinking about this. Now news about first death of an 80 year old woman and a taxi driver in Japan that got infected really got me thinking to just cancel all my travel plans there.



Same. But they're all wearing masks on mine so spoil a bit the picture.

Is this true?

Japan's government will quarantine the whole passangers incase found unwell person in the ship or plane for safety sake...

if u google it and there is no source of it
thn u know it's sos kicap fesbuk

actually if u see the link's address, u can already know if it's real news or fake news to cheat page view

One of Japan major income are tourist industry. Guess who are biggest contribution to Japan tourist industry?


Ban China = self destruction

One Chinese people avg spending power in Japan = 10 European people / 50 South East Asia people.
A group of 10 Chinese people = 500 South East Asia people


I still remember when Panasonic release newest model of hair dryer, It cost Rm1300 per unit, But for Chinese people, they sapu feel like RM1.3 per unit. The amount they buy are count as carton. Everywhere out of stock!! I had to find until Shikoku only get one.

KCon japan from 3rd to 5th april

next will be japan?

The possibility of Air Asia to refund flight to Japan is low as the demand (eg Sakura season, Olympics) to fly there are still very high and they have high rate of flight transfers too.

Unless the virus is out of control like China or our country issue travel to Japan which is also unlikely, I dont think Air Asia willing to refund because can imagine how much money lose. Ticket to Japan also not cheap also nowaday for per pax.

This is just my logical opinion, of course I hope Air Asia are angel enough to refund us, yes us as I also bought ticket to Tokyo on sakura season that I expected the worst which is just let it go.

I like going to Tokyo to visit my friends and relatives there at least once a year and I am addicted to their food culture and festives season, I had been travelled 6 times there since 2016 and people who know me would say Japan can be my second Kampung especially when I explaining train route. I also put reason "balik kampung" when I applied leaves where actually I am going there xD However, I also always understand that Japan only suitable for travelling not living

Anyway, I wish everyone be safe while travelling. Thanks for reading.

Oops, sorry I mean travel ban*

The other risk with flying to Japan is that someone on your flight suddenly allergy and started sneezing and flu and fever and ppl mistook it for potential coronavirus, then who knows your whole flight kena 14 days quarantine

GG. My travel insurance is not covering for this

If they decide to cancel the Olympic, then I will just let go and let the money burn. Not really much choice here.

With the recent corona virus outbreak, do you guys think i should re-plan my itinerary to go less touristy area instead of tokyo?

Every inch of Japan land also will find China tourist.
If you wanted to go Japan, just do full protection and dont care any virus.

i am going on thursday and my colleague going on tuesday.. since everything planned just go ahead..

malaysia have the virus too so it is not any safer here...i guess

just wear a mask when u are in crowded area and most important wash your hand regularly.. .

the virus seems not slowing down. My trips with family with elders is on May... Not sure if ANA will refund since tickets purchase is promo.
