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. 

500 yen tram pass is good but I won't use it on the first day, it is lesser than 500 yen for my case.
I will stay in one of the hotels which is within the free shuttle to ropeway station, so that gonna save a bit.

don't need to claim tax in customs officer
can do it straight at the shop itself

will it affect much?...answer is half half
if u plan to eat that food or use that product immediately...thn it's subjected to the new 10% tax
if u wanted it to be tax free, u need to purchase over 5000 yen and all the things that will be tax-free will be sealed into a plastic
u can't open it and take it out

Restaurants and hotels not included. Sticker is normally at the store entrance and its in English saying something like "Japan Tax Refund" Google the image and you can find it. Not all shops directly do a tax refund at the cashier. Some need you to pay first, like Don Quijote, and then go to a special counter to claim your returns. Some, like yodobashi camera/ bic camera have special counter where you pay there. Both method will need your passport. If you are not sure if that shop does tax refund just ask the cashier "tax free?".

When I booked my accommodation, I didn't have much choice and coincidentally the one I booked is one of the hotels. So might as well just stay there.

Glover Garden is within walking distance from my hotel, you can check out and let me know because it is in my itinerary. I will only go after you.

for those tax-free shopping
people always wait last minute until their last location(if u travel multiple location within a trip)
it will usually end up in a city
thn u go into a medicine shop or a store like don quixote
buy all the things u need, they will put all the stuff into a sealed bag...refund the tax to u on the spot
and u basically just put the whole bag into your luggage

the food i refer to is the one sold in these tax-free store like flavored sticks like pocky, keropok..etc
but if u wanted to eat that keropok in japan, u have to pay tax for it

Hi there, do you have any recommendation for airport transfer from kansai airport? We arrive kansai airport quite late at night and bringing small toddler, easier for us to move. Average at most website charge more than rm600 per trip. Anyone using traveloka? Charge for rm400 only, is it legit?

Thank you in advance 🙏

If u dont like busy & crowded like osaka & tokyo then fukuoka should b ok d. You can do a lot of side trip to nagasaki, yufuin - beppu, kumamoto, or more far to miyazaki. Kyushu area for me is more to natural & history. For me i did a 10 days trip & i went to okinawa as well since its just a short flight to the island. Spending at there is slightly cheaper than tokyo & osaka.

U talk bout ramen i was happy to say they got 1 ramen that is one of the best in japan but too bad for you it is best because of the pork or pork bone paste soup still got other ramen d. But you have to check properly because kyushu type of ramen is pork soup based d.

Halal restaurants ah... Not really sure got or not. But surely got fews d just need to find. No pork i see got la but halal or not really not sure.

Klook's collection place is at somewhere near Namba and yes I find it inconvenient too. That's why didn't get from them.
Yeah, I reckoned that's what I'm going to do. Just IC card, no need to stress anymore.
I just dislike reloading it with cash only..
Yeah, or sites like Klook or KKDay, can Google for it.
I got mine from Taobao, much cheaper.
Anyway, does anyone know where can I buy daily unlimited 500 yen Nagasaki tram tickets? Real experience sharing is appreciated.

Wow... so many people travelling to Japan. Who says the economy is not good?

Scout for what? Becoming a JAV actor?   

Yeah, same information posted here: https://www.japankuru.com/en/tour/e2115.html

I will discuss with my friend again.. Thanks by the way. She wants to go, I wasn't aware of this place until she told me.

I will be covering 7 places in Nagasaki, I guess that's good enough but this fruit thingy is really challenging.
Unless I drive which I don't have much choice anyway.

Let me break the news to her tomorrow because if possible we try not to drive for this trip and want to use their public transport. Next year if we are going to NZ, I'm going to drive like really a lot, all the time. 

Renting taxi in Japan are not same as Malaysia.
It will cost you Rm1000 above.

10 minute distance in Japan taxi already cost 4000 to 5000 yen.

better to go now before their GST hike and their olympic begins
from october onwards until next year olympic is over, it's going to be very expensive to travel to japan
