Now you make me kiasu. I am going in October too and yet to exchange any yen. Need to start then.

I read from wise website. Their debit card can be used to withdraw from visa atm?

Can anyone confirm or did it before?

Cash withdrawals
You can also withdraw cash from most ATMs — except the countries specified above for US and non-US cards respectively. If you don’t know of any ATM near you, just use the Mastercard ATM locator or Visa ATM locator to find one.

Sifus, what's the best cashless method to bring to Japan?
i.e. lowest fx impact when swiping local currency there

TIA!

ahhh i see. didnt realise hello1010 was not fully 4g. noted shall search local sim for my next japan trip

Anyone bought anything related to 18SX from JAV to adult toys or even hentai/anime figure from Japan back to Malaysia?
coz thinking to buy as souvenir/memento for friend just for shit and giggle lol

wondering will there be any issues going through customs both in japan and malaysia?
unable to google anything related to this

weather forecast?

It’s better to use Pasmo or Suica in Tokyo if wanna use with Apple Wallet? Can be easily reloaded with our credit cards. Thanks!

It's been a while I've not entered Japan since pre-covid

May I know if there are any additional requirements (documents) to bring along to enter Japan?

1. Passport
2. If I remember I have to manually write on some immigration card given by the stewardess.

Anything new that I should be aware of?

To confirm, no more Covid-related requirement?

Custom counter and immigration counter different?

when did you generate the QR code?

was it several days before arrival? If like that, does the QR code remain the same all the time even if you generate it again?

or you must generate only when you reached the counter? I'm afraid i don't have internet connection when just arrived.

how is the autumn foliage now?

based on the live video, the snow cap is very small too

it's because of lawson or because of mount fuji in the background? 

i just remember that driving down the road heading towards the overhead bridge is very scenic bcos of mount fuji. i think there are better spots along that road instead of lawson.

there is no true 'unlimited' data roaming. Most roaming plans/SIMcard/pocket wifi give u 1-3GB/day data usage, then will throttle your speed

cannot use meh?

but i always use it 

Hi, was wondering if travel to Tokyo during this month end or early Dec will Yoyogi Park still with their red and yellow leaves?

if arrived late at night and miss all the trains and dont want to take taxi, is there any place in the airport area to sleep / nap till early morning for the train to start?

Starting tomorrow, All Tokyo Metro Station autogate will be accepting China Wechat QR. Japan really desperate for Chinese tourist. 

Those travelling this month pls bring better jacket as it’s very cold between 10 degrees and below. Am in Shinzuku now and it’s drizzling ady

ahhh lucky youuuu.... i did not manage to get this shot and the one at the station due to bad weather

but lucky Arakurayama did not disappoint

Personally, I've flown a few times with PAL.

Their in-plane experience from KUL > MNL is older fleet but still alright for me, more or less same like MAS.

But for longer trips such as (MNL > KIX; MNL > SYD; MNL > HND), I would say PAL is way better than MAS (took MAS business class, didn't even felt as wow compared to PAL economy for the price points).

The only thing is transit experience, if you can, go for either transit 1 full day (arrive morning, fly next morning); or as short as possible (< 3 hours). Anything in between 3 - 16 hours would not be recommended as the airport is rather small and nothing much for you to do.

Youtube reviews generally do not paint a full picture of the price point you pay (for full service airlines).

Of course, AirAsia might be slightly cheaper if buy early (about 1.3k return trip, but you still need to add luggage); but PAL includes luggage 30kg + meals + in flight entertainment (I bought mine for 1.5k return).
