Planning first trip to Japan soon, can anyone suggest must go places or share itinerary?!? Thanks.

don't troll here cis. And yes, we know you're happy that you're flying to Tokyo shortly.

Dear Sempais, , lets say one arrive at KIX aboard AA on the D7 1 flight from KL to Kix departing at 14:15 and arriving at Kix at 21:40, around what time would he be able to clear immigration?

hi, can give some comment on my itinerary transportation using hakone pass, JR Pass. i am planning to tokyo on 25th march , tokyo-hakone-kyoto-osaka-tokyo(depart)

25 -tokyo
26 -tokyo
27 -tokyo  checkout to hakone ( activate 2day hakone pass from klook)
28 -hakone
29- hakone to kyoto (activate JR 7day pass)
30- kyoto
31-kyoto to osaka
1- osaka
2- osaka
3-osaka to tokyo
4-tokyo (end 7day JR pass) Depature

Yeah i was thinking bout this too. Seems like alot of packing and unpacking + checking in so many different hotel.

guys.. any reasonable value and nice hotel to recommend in osaka for a 9days osaka/kyoto trip? I should be looking at 3/4 stars hotel..

Hi, I would to try waterbus cruise at Asakusa, but I don't really know how to best plan this part of day trip.

So far I have come out with this plan from first place visit to last in a day trip:
1. Sensoji Temple
2. Asakusa Shrine
3. Nakamise Street (Lunch)
4. Asakusa Station - Waterbus
5. Odaiba Seaside Park - Drop here?
6. Fuji TV - visit maybe?
7. Hamarikyu Garden
8. Tsukiji Market
9. Imperial Palace
10. Imperial East Garden
11. Yasukuni Shrine

Feels like cramping alot in a day... doable? or is there better way to rearrange this day trip.

Normally is there any cheaper flight ticket to kansai offered during matta fair?

Just dont think too much. First time is always the hardest. . After a while you will get the "hang" of it. If not try going off peak hours like dinner/lunch time.

Just booked my trip for next week and look forward to visiting Tokyo.

Have 7 nights in Tokyo and will be staying at Hilton Tokyo for 5 nights, then move on Hilton Tokyo Bay for two nights (will be visiting Disneyland for two days hence thought it was wise to move to Tokyo Bay.

No itinerary plan as yet but definitely wanting to do a day trip to Mt Fuji and also to view cherry blossom. Any suggestion will be much appreciated (we are mainly looking at shopping, food, and perhaps some cultural visit). Also, for public transport within Tokyo, which pass should I buy?

Wanted a longer trip but hotel is unbearably expensive!

> chooses an atas expensive hotel
> complains that accommodation is expensive

No choice, schedule limitation. Only managed to get my leave approved two days ago!
Thank you for your 'constructive' suggestion. Since when this became Kopitiam?

First of all, thanks all for previous comments and tips for my itinerary with wife and a 4yo. All above talk on missing the sakura bloom really is nerving.

guys my flight from airasia reach at 9.40pm , may i know anyone have idea how can i collect those ticket that buy from klook which their counter mostly closed at 10pm? i already bought the plane ticket

i haven't buy, most likely to purchase everything from klook/kkday pass eg : tram pass, amazing pass, pocket wifi so on

Yeah, It is written here. I did ask the host and they, say I haven't booked yet so unable to show photo via airbnb.

my flight is AA to KIX, the usual 9.30PM arrive time
yup, plan namba area and kyoto station area(if i ever plan to stay in kyoto, near to transport)
but initially i was planning to go kyoto 1st, thn only move back to osaka so don't need osaka >> kyoto thn osaka again for flight back
but seem doesn't make sense due to my late arrival

now i'm pretty confused on how to plan my itinerary
the USJ is also giving me a headache

hey guys, any recommended SIM card or data plan for osaka?

can i get it at the airport? What would be my best option to namba station at night ? taking airasia flight so reaching osaka near to 10 pm

I'm going to Osaka this Sunday for 4 days. So just wanna get some recommendations on travel/pocket wifi. So far I've narrowed down to 2 providers that seems reliable (please correct me if I'm wrong):

1. Roaming Man MY
2. Travel Recommends

For a KL/PJ/Subang person, which is easier to pick up by this Friday (17 May)? Besides those 2, are there any other reliable providers out there? I noticed there are some but has terrible reviews.

4 pax, but probably at most also 3 devices will be connected to it at all time. Mainly for Whatsapp, Google Maps, a bit of FB & perhaps some Googling for help lol.
That's good to hear! Do I have to make advance booking with them now to secure a unit? Or can I visit them directly in the KLIA 1 to discuss & pay?

Besides Travel Recommends, have you tried others?

The SIM card or our telco roaming is one of the safest option. But my phone battery can't even last an hour if i do that lol. Too much PoGo last time gg-ed my battery 

Ohhhh, so that's what you meant by using SIM. Yea, I totally forgot about that. I'm not a season traveler, so I don't have my own MiFi device. A good one costs a few hundreds right? 

No worries la, like I said....I understand if some people encounter bad experience. Nothing is perfect after all. Hopefully there won't be any issues during my trip later no matter which travel wifi provider i use.
