Heyloo thanks for ur info. Actually im flying into osaka and heading up to tokyo. Dont have the suica card. The icoca card can be used in Tokyo as well ke? Or do i have to get separate cards.

Btw hepi bday bro

Mind to check my itinerary kejap

Osaka arrival dotonbori for dinner
Osaka day 1 osaka castle + shinsekai
Osaka day 2 kuromon market + umeda sky building

Is it too spaced out? Was thinking wanna sit the ferris wheel or aquarium worth a visit? Or anything else to do in Osaka

Can recommend me a good kobe beef shop also?
Thankiew

My friend was just at osaka last week she said need to queue to eat. She queued between half hour to 1.5 hours for random restaurants

I receive this note from a friend. Old japan note. Is this note still useable in japan now? Going to osaka on march

Newbie to Japan.
Trying to ask ...Can we actually bring back fresh fruits like melon/strawberries from japan through check-in luggage?
As travel gift for own family to eat..not import/export.
I understand Malaysia doesn't allow citrus fruit especially mango.

As recommendation for gifts to bring back during March travel?
I understand lots of thing we can get in Malaysia already therefore I'm looking  for suggestions.

Real Pro going Kawaguchiko by Highway Express Buses. 
Just 1/4 price from JR Limited Express "Fuji Excursion"
Faster than Train almost by 30 minute
Free Wifi Onboard
Highway view are way better than train specially morning period approx 7-9am.

Drive from Tokyo 可以吗? If going to rent car around kawaguchiko anyway (2nights)

Visa usually have problem with JR online payment, try using mastercard

OTP are sent by your bank (Not from Japan site), if u didn't receive, it could mean your account was compromised and number changed to hacker's phone
or the coverage in your area are very bad and you have dropped line (happened to me using XOX n now I switch to Maxis)
