Where's the cheapest place to get tokyo banana & shiroi koibito? Or should I just buy at the airport? Like Chaud said, price is pretty standard across stores. In fact, it's hard for you to find Shiroi Koibito in local stores in Tokyo. At Tokyo Banana has kiosks or shops in some malls, but Shiroi Koibito can be a challenge to find. Just get them at the airport where it's guaranteed to have allocate an hour or two for airport shopping. There's plenty to see and shop, especially at Narita.

I was hoping can find some in Family Marts / Lawson I guess will be much easier buying them at the airport then. Anyway how confusing is the Tokyo Metro system actually? I've been to some cities with extensive metro lines in Europe but from what I've read, nothing compares to how complicated the railway system in Tokyo is. I've occasionally seen Tokyo Banana in Sunkus (another convenience store) when it was still around. But it's not easy find as I'll say save time and just grab them at airport you can also grab other rare snacks at airport. Another nice place to buy souvenirs is actually in a shop inside Diver City, Odaiba (provided you're going to Odaiba) it's known as "za, daiba"　ザ、台場. You can find Tokyo Banana and other rare gifts/ souvenirs especially if you're into animation: https://signalrosso.com/odaiba-giftshop-entry QUOTE(scchan107 @ Aug 14 2019, 01:40 PM) Personally, follow the lines based on google map is fine by me. Biggest issue is looking for the correct exits and/or changing lines at big station. I manage to get lost in Tokyo station twice. Google map doesnt help when you are underground I think many can relate on the exit and transfer. You're not alone when it comes to Tokyo Station; it's really huge so very easy to get lost. When in need, best way out is to ask someone especially the staffs from the shop QUOTE(L.Torreira @ Aug 14 2019, 03:41 PM) thank you. is it good itin by klook? is it good to explore shinjuku too? any others to visit in Kawaguchi go? You have 12 days?? Give me 3 weeks and it'll still never be enough for Tokyo! With 12 days you can have a looser itinerary without cramming them. Take your time to stroll around. Do day trip(s) or 2D 1N trip to Enoshima, Kamakura. Yes Mt Fuji you can plan for either Hakone or Kawaguchiko (Fuji 5 Lakes) - whereby 2D 1N will be more relaxing. If you'd like to save up, plan your own itinerary and transport for Mt Fuji package tours are usually pricier and comes with less freedom in terms of time but you do get the convenience of transportation. Depends on what you're looking for.

What is the minimum budget? I will extend my budget. Hahahahaha don't judge too soon. Whether it'll be your first and last - decide after you've been there Japan is really huge. From Tokyo you can actually do a lot of Day trips or short 2D 1N trip to nearby attractions such as Nikko, Fuji 5 Lakes etc. To visit Kansai or not, it's a subjective matter. Budget is hard to tell you how much you have the option of flight, shinkansen, bus/ coach (expect long ride) etc to travel on. Do some basic research if you really want to cover both Tokyo and Osaka. QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 15 2019, 01:39 AM) Everyone's expectation/preference is different when it comes to spending. I personally won't choose this Diamond Hotel, but that's just me. So choose whichever you are happy with and enjoy it. The world is big, there are other places to visit. After visiting Japan for the first time in 4 years ago, I really thought I won't be returning to Japan in these 10 years as I have a list of places to travel to. I love going to new places, countries. However, this time being asked to join, I gladly accepted because we hardly meet each other. Wahhhhhh you're going Japan jelly nya. Syok horiday this year.

Can't do annual Japan trip anymore probably once every 2 years can try to do a really budget one. Kyushu in November? Sounds exciting! Just nice if you plan now. How many days you'll be there? Ahhhh how I miss the beautiful autumn leaves in Japan.

Betol probably share more when we meet Woahhh 2 weeks in Kansai and Kyushu, that's awesome! If you have 4 people, driving around Fukuoka/ Kyushu will be convenient to travel around - as shared by a fellow friend who went. It's alright, worth it if it's autumn; you'll get to see really beautiful red/ golden leaves imo autumn is better than Spring, but that's me.

QUOTE(L.Torreira @ Aug 16 2019, 07:57 PM) but moi friend said autumn is like in Malaysia where the leaves fall. many dust and wind no good for health. true meh? Your RM3k is only covering transport and pass? Or including accommodation? Per pax rm3k or rm3k for 2 pax? If you cannot take Autumn then Spring is worse for sensitive people as there are pollens flying all around places with trees. Not sure what aspect of "no good for health" your friend is referring to... but millions of people stays in countries with 4 seasons and they're still alive and well hahahaha. The only issue with cold season is that it tends to get a bit dry so you'll need more moisturiser, probably a mask to protect your face from the wind etc. QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 16 2019, 07:55 PM) Yes, our long due meet up. Only two of us and we don't intend to drive more to I'm lazy to drive around. My friend only knows how to drive the left side driver seat vehicle. Yes totally overdue 🤭 its been a little quiet, suppose everyone is busy. Time to round up the others i guess hehh. Ahhhh then driving is out of the question. No worries, public transport in less urban area usually tend to be less hectic.

Lets say I have a printable discount coupon but I would like to use it to buy tickets for 4 persons (so that each person gets a discount), how do I say it in Japanese? Like how do I say; "I would like to buy 4 tickets, please. Can I use this coupon for 4 persons each?" Or do I need to present 4 discount coupons when I purchase the 4 tickets? Thanks for any kind reply. Arigatou. What sort of discount coupon are you referring to? I'm sure there's T&C written on the coupon on the redemption - whether 1 coupon per ticket or whether 1 coupon is applicable for all/ total tickets. "chi-ketto yottsu onegaishimasu." (4 ticket please) "kono ku-pon wa yon-nin wo tsukatte mo-ii desu ka?" (can this coupon be used for 4 people?) Beware that when you start speaking Japanese from the get-go, they'll assume you're fluent and then you'll be bombarded with Japanese all the way. While you may be able to ask question in Japanese, you may not understand the reply. I'll suggest starting the conversation or speaking in English instead, and the Japanese phrase is backup in case they could not understand what you try to say in English.

Use google translator should be the safest. Nolar... You definitely don't need HeatTech in autumm. Just a light jacket in your bagpack would be enough. If you are in the city, it wouldn't be that cold compared to the outskirts. Works when you wanna ask question, may not work if the other party reply and you wish to know what he/ she says. Unless the other party has Google translate installed in phone as well QUOTE(kingofrave89 @ Sep 5 2019, 11:52 AM) Yeah, just planning to bring the sweater from universal traveller. it says can tahan till 10-15'c. Should be sufficient i guess. Thanks for the advice! Edit: btw, im going to Hiroshima, Kobe, Nara, Nikko - Tochigi area. So this consider quite outskirt right? I'd say everyone's cold tolerance is very subjective. It tends to rain during autumn and the temp gets crazy cold during that time or afterwards. Or night time. So if you already have heat tech, just bring along. Judge for yourself then decide whether you'll want to wear the heat tec or not They're outskirt, correct, but still major tourist attraction. Nikko is pretty quiet except when you're at the shrine. Since you're going Nikko, I highly, highly recommend dinner at Hippari Dako the tsukune (chicken meatball) and yakitori is sooo good. One of the best I've ever had. Also, Nikko is famous for yuba (beancurd) so you'll see yuba dishes everywhere.

I see, so better to start of with English and use limited Japanese if needed, right? If I go with 2nd option, should I tell them my Japanese is very limited? For the coupon its this ( https://www.nagasaki-ropeway.jp/facility/coupon.php ) Unfortunately its all in Japanese, so I wanted to be sure if this discount can be applied for all persons or do my party have to buy their individual ticket to get this discount. Hahaha. You're not flying anytime soon right. Can run through the coupon and check for you when I have time. QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 5 2019, 04:10 PM) You pass the phone to them to ask them to key in lor.... Its not perfect, but it works for me. Provided, you have Japanese keyboard installed. How many people have that ready in their phone when they dont use it at all? QUOTE(kingofrave89 @ Sep 5 2019, 04:47 PM) You're right. Maybe I'll just bring the Heattec, just in case. My tolerance to cold is quite high, but wind is another story. Ooo, nice! Will try that dishes! Hope can find the halal version. Lol. Thanks for the recommendation! Thats right, not going to take up much (if any) space at all better be ready. For autumn i usually go about with a heat tech inside, and a hoodie on the outside. It was sufficient. Winter is different story haha. Ahhhhhh i'm not sure if its Halal. Btw for Nikko i saw this for Halal : https://www.instagram.com/p/B19BXdTAwu7/?igshid=4fexg1xa72ca

Hear me out and let me know if its do-able, ya =) I am still trying to figure out the best way to include things to do and stuff to makan. With every FR i read, i seems to find more new stuff to be included in my itinerary. Haha! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Note: - Traveling alone - Staying at Shinjuku near Kabuchiko - Purpose of the trip : KISS concert (The main reason i am doing this trip. Basically planned my trip around this), experience all things Nippon (temples, food, shop abit..), winter illumination, Mt Fuji, Star Wars exhibition.. Dec 7th (Saturday) - Arriving at NRT early around 6.30am. Take NEX to Tokyo station. Store my backpack in the locker - Breakfast at Tokyo station (Ramen Street) - Tokyo station to Asakusa : Temple and street food - Back to Tokyo Station - Imperial Palace and surrounding - Take my backpack and proceed to hostel check-in - Evening: Odaiba & surrounding - 7pm fireworks at Rainbow bridge Dec 8th (Sunday) - Morning: Star Wars exhibition at Shinagawa - Zojoji temple and Tokyo tower (not going up, tho) - Meiji shrine - Harajuku - Late evening : Shibuya / Roponggi - Winter illumination somewhere nearby if happens to be around the corner Monday 9th (Monday) - Morning : Tsukiji market for breakfast - Ginza (maybe stop by for awhile) - Akihabara* - Shibuya if not enough time on Sunday. Do some shopping around - Winter illumination somewhere nearby if happens to be around the corner [itinerary on Sunday and Monday is interchangeable depending on how long i spent in an area] Tuesday 10th (Tuesday) - Fuji 5 lakes day trip for Mt Fuji viewing Wednesday 11th (Wednesday) - Morning: Teamlab Borderless - Ueno & Surrounding + Ameyoko for street food - Evening : KISS concert at Tokyo Dome - winter illumination at Tokyo Dome city Thursday 12th (Thurday) - checkout, NEX from Shinjuku to NRT. Flight back to KL around 2+ pm Need all sifus' guidance on below:** 1. Is my proposed itinerary sensible in terms of time management and places to visit? 2. Is it better to visit Akihabara on Sunday? Will there be throngs of ppl coming out with their otaku outfit similarly to Harujuku? It's winter season tho 3. * Teamlab Borderless closes at 9pm on Sunday. I have 1.5 hours after the Rainbow bridge fireworks between 7.30pm to 9pm on Saturday. I don't suppose i ll have enough time to experience the whole thing? i heard it will be super crowded on weekends too. Thus planning to go on weekday morning. Not a 'must visit' for me 4. Question on public transportation: Plan to max use Tokyo + Toei subways by using the 3 days pass (1500 yen) for all areas in Tokyo. Tor those areas that is on non-Tokyo + Toei lines, i ll make use of PASSMO / SUICA (only top up at minimum to cover these). Is this wise? My plan is Day 1 - Tokyo city : NEX round trip ticket. Tokyo + Toie 3 days pass (PASSMO / SUICA at the minimum) Day 2 - Tokyo city : Tokyo + Toie 3 days pass (PASSMO / SUICA at the minimum) Day 3 - Tokyo city : Tokyo + Toie 3 days pass (PASSMO / SUICA at the minimum) Day 4 - Out of Tokyo city : 3 days pass expired. Make use of PASSMO / SUICA in the evening DAY 5 - Make use of PASSMO / SUICA. Not many places to cover Day 6 - NEX round trip ticket to NRT Opting for the NEX round trip tix for approx 4000 yen so that last day dont have to kelam kabut transferring between train stations + waiting. Approx 2000 yen each way if purchase the round trip ticket Thanks y'all. Cheers Definitely do-able. Your itinerary is not too packed, just nice. So long you don't overstay in 1 area, you're able to make it/ follow through especially when you're travelling alone. It's easier to adjust your timing and you don't have to wait up for anyone. 1. Yes 2. Not sure but I would advice visiting Ginza on a weekend to enjoy the "Pedestrian's Heaven"; road closure of the main road - Chuo Dori of Ginza from 12 noon onwards: https://blog.gaijinpot.com/tokyos-pedestrians-paradise/ 3. Adjust accordingly. you'll need to prioritize on what is "must do" or "must see" then place the secondary item as alternative. 4. Yes. And plan your route to maximize the 3-Days Metro Subway pass.

We did Kiyomizu, Fushimi Inari & the Sagano bamboo forest each morning before 8am and they were wonderful. Fast forward 2 hours later, they looked like a human zoo. • Speaking of bamboo forests, there are 2 smaller versions of them in Kodaiji & Adashino Nenbutsuji. They may not have the grandeur of the Sagano one but there was almost nobody there so you'll be able to enjoy it more. • Weather in autumn is nice and crisp. Can be a bit cold in the morning and at night so layering is the best strategy. • The best warabi-mochi I've tried on this trip is in this place called Rakushō. It's in Gion on Nene-no-michi, near the entrance to Kodaiji. Melts in your mouth and oh sooo good! • Try out a kimono in Gion and choose the silk ones especially during autumn/winter as they are warmer. We rented ours from Rose Kimono Rental. • Coffee lovers, the % Arabica in Gion is less crowded and more pleasant than the one in Arashiyama which had too long a queue (unless you go early in the morning). • The green tea desserts and coffee in Yojiya Cafe were one of our favorites. Do take note that the one near Ginkakuji is under renovation. • Buses are much easier to ride than I anticipated. Instructions are clear and in English. They are less crowded and you can get a seat if you start your journey from outside the city center. For example, I took a train from Shijo to Kitaoji station and changed to a bus to Kinkakuji. • The Starbucks in a Gion machiya house is overrated although the interior and exterior are unique. • Take a bus to the nearest Kiyomizu bus stop and make your way up to Kiyomizu. From there, head downward to Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka and the Gion district. • Kinkakuji at 4pm on a Sunday was less crowded and manageable. Not sure how bad the morning crowd is although I've heard horror stories. • If you have a Nara bus pass or Kintetsu Rail Pass, take the bus from the station to Kasuga Taisha and make your way anticlockwise to Todaiji. More downward sloping than the other way round. • Yoshikien in Nara is free to foreign passport holders! Show them your passport to gain free entry into this beautifully manicured garden. • Many people skip Naramachi and only visit the park for the deers. I like Naramachi and spent a few hours wandering around the old neighborhood, even visiting a traditional machiya called Koshi-no-ie. • Finding rubbish bins was a pain so bring a spare bag for your trash especially if you're like us who snack a lot. • The special edition Coke bottles are much cheaper in Bic Camera/Donki compared to the vending machines. • When purchasing towels or hankies, look for the Imabari branded symbol as they are of high quality. • Most products are genrally made in China but normally in a store they have a separate section for made in Japan goods. The price is higher but so is the quality. • If travelling from city to city, use the luggage forwarding service to save you the hassle. Bonus for onsen & seafood lovers: • Kinosaki Onsen was LOVELY. Very worth visiting and spending the night in a ryokan. 2.5 hours from Kyoto and close to 3 from Osaka, the express train is covered by JR Pass. That's it for me now, will see how my remaining trip goes and see if I have time for a concise trip report when I get back . Feel free to tag this post on the first page if it helps sweet_pez. Luckily i discovered this haha, nobody tagged. Thanks for your sharing i'll put a link to your post since Post #1 is hitting maximum characters. Will see what i can do when we open up the new Version of Japan Travel!

Would love to visit Tokyo somehow next year or 2021 - even if only for a short trip. Basically the subway line is easy to use/ access once you've gotten around on how it works Just remember try not to carry big backpacks around if possible.

QUOTE(brobro @ Mar 4 2020, 02:47 PM) I have lose hope of AA giving options of full refund for travellers cancelling their trip due to concern of COVID19 outbreak. I have lodge complaint through MAVCOM, through AA twitter and to AA customer service centre in KLIA2. No positive response so far. Chance of getting full refund are slim at the moment. Only travel ban to Japan by Malaysia government would make AA refund our ticket. My flight is on 17th March. My strategy right now is to wait until 2-3 days before the date before I cancel my ticket while hoping for government to impose travel ban before that. Next step will apply refund for my JR Pass. One question though, can we cancel our ticket or just let it burn by not checking in to the flight? Thanks. If refund is difficult, what about request to postpone the trip? Such as push it down to say, October or November? Do they entertain the request? I'd say it's better than to let the ticket burn

Last time i check, if i reschedule my flight to november, the fare is even expensive than my current ticket - its like i bought a new, more expensive one and burnt my current ticket as well. That's why i want to cancel. AA is really being irresponsible, I guess they will learn their lesson if all their flights are full with infected people. If it is out of current refund policy, then make a new one AA. When yoir corporate and legal team write the policy, there was no COVID19 yet. Now there is a new contagious virus leading to global epidemic, u have to react, write a new policy, be a responsible airlines and help stop the spread whenever u can! But no they even up their promotion - amid the epidemic and bribery scandal. So meaning you've asked for postponement due to the Covid19 and they replied you its on your own expense? Then at least you tried all ways to talk to them. What i meant was everyone talks about cancelling or burning the ticket - how about talking to AA about postponement of your flight/ trip. Find a later date where the cost is roughly about the same; can be in Sept/ Oct/ Nov etc whichever month where it's a later flight date. Ask them to allow the postponement at no cost (if possible). If all options are exhausted with the same result, then there's no choice and just hope AA would change their mind and be more responsible.

Kindly be informed refund is not an available option at the moment. Alternatively, we advise you to make flight change (date or time) up to 48 hours before departure time subject to "change fee + fare different" (per person, per sector). If you wish to reschedule please share detail below : - booking number - preferred route - preferred date - preferred time so we can check the fee and seat availability first for you. Thank you and hearing from you soon -Uli Yes... consider checking new flight details and see whether worth postponing or not. If not, then no choice and just let it burn.
