hi jap experts,

planning to self drive around Lake Kwaguchiko, and the other lakes as public transport may not be as accessible in the more remote parts of that place.

have about 6 months more to the trip, and i am researching and reading on driving in japan rules and manners.

i came across this video, which the guy in the video actually went through a rest stop. I am wondering why is there an ETC card lane exiting the rest stop?
Do the japanese have to tag in and out of the rest stop?

Thank you in advance!
*
You sure that is rest area ah? Look for me like a toll exit.

I drive in kyoto to kanazawa to shirakawago to takayama & back kyoto dont see any rest area need ETC scanner.

Drive in okinawa same also. No ETC lane in rest area

Hi just a quick one.
I'm in Fukuoka right now, staying nearby Yakuin subway station.

Any idea where can I get the Kuromon market like Kobe/Wagyu slab cooked over stall instead of restaurant? Not planning to go full course due to budget.

Also if I were to call a cab to airport in the midnight, let's say about 2am (flight at 7am), any apps that is user friendly like Grab in Malaysia? 4 pax with 4 luggage looking for maybe a 6 seater car.

You staying airbnb? Last time i ask my host to help me call cab & he friendly enough to help.

If hotel i think lagi easy hotel staff to help you.

Fukuoka Airport is not 24h. I think open at 6am. Why go so early at 2am?

Shuri Castle in Okinawa got burnt down again... no chance to go dang!

Lucky i went there last june via fukuoka. But TBH, the castle so so for me only. Maybe because of chinese influences in their culture, the castle look like those chinese temple in malaysia.

Do driving trip all the way to the top lagi more interesting places. Very nice scenery also.

I felt like Japan New Year sales really no joke. Yesterday went to Skechers shop. 1st pair of shoe will be normal price but already reduce price like 2k yen less then the following pairs all 50% less. End up total 4 pairs for me & my sis. 10500 yen for 4 pairs of shoes.

Cool!

Is this the 2000 yen entrance fee one?

Felt like going at 3pm, then leave at night

Can enjoy both views
*
Yup is 2000 yen. Queue time to take the lift to the top almost 30mins. There got a lot of sofa on the roof. If manage to grab a sit then can sitting there relax & wait till night.

Hey,

"Malaysian nationals holding biometric passport compliance with ICAO standard do not need visa"

When we enter Japan we HAVE to go through the IMMIGRATION OFFICER rights? He will chop a temporary visitor stamp on passport correct?

Haven't been to japan in a while. I'm  unsure.gif b'cause our passport is now electronic.
*
Fill up the entry card & custom declaration form then queue up for the fingerprint & photo machine from dept of justice then after that queue up for immigration. No more chop d now use sticker. Then after collect ur checked luggage will pass last check from custom & pass them the declaration form.

Then when leave japan also no more chop liou. Use passport scanner & face recognition machine then ok liou...

Anybody brought elderly to USJ before? Which attraction did they go safely?

The elderly in my party is in her 70s generally healthy without  heart condition but got neck ache/problems.

Many attraction listed in the website long list of advisory for guest.

i.e. Terminator 2 3:D
Guests who should not use the attraction
Persons with any of the following conditions: (1) heart conditions, (2) back, neck, or similar conditions, (3) respiratory diseases, (4) convulsions or spasms, (5) expectant mothers, (6) claustrophobia, (7) hypersensitivity to noises, (8) unable to sit up unassisted, and (9) newborn babies.

I thought Terminator is just a show.  :confused:
*
Not to say bout which attractions suitable or not but queue alone i think already make them so tired. Or there are special lanes for seniors age?

Dear Sifu,

What is the affordable souvenirs recommended in Osaka?

Sometime, I feel buy souvenirs is not a good practice, because traveler need to think about souvenirs and cost. bruce.gif

When i 1st travel i will buy souvenirs d. But after that i no buy already. Cox i felt pretty time wasting want to think what to buy to colleagues & friends. This is my enjoyment trip not souvenirs searching trip. I know some of u will think colleagues & friends will question you why no buy so no choice have to buy. My colleagues last time did question me. 1 time 2 times then they no bother to ask d cox they know i wont buy already. LoL. Now i only buy same items for my 4 sisters only.
