Ah ok. Havent really plan out what to do yet.
Have to wait for wife to see where she wants to go.
Then ill ask this question again when i am more ready

ah. one of my itinerary is at ikebukuro, muscle girls bar. haha

how is the roaming data usage with hotlink for rm50 / 7 days?

used airalo esim before, and the data usage was more than what was displayed in my phone.
caught me by surprise and i have buy new plan abruptly to avoid being cut off

can roaming turn on hotspot as well?
if cannot then i have no choice but to fork out more n get pocket wifi.
turning on hotspot makes my phone hot n drains battery.

my first day i reached in the morning straight go kyoto then play around kyoto station
didnt pack much into first day as flight might delay.
then 1 day at arashiyama and its surroundings
1 day at fushimi inari and its surroundings

then i went to nara for a day trip after that.
if you din do nara then you can put more days in kyoto if you like shrines and heritage stuff to cover everything.

else you can put more days in osaka if you like city and the likes of it.
i did 1 full day at USJ also.

kyoto mode of transport is either city bus or train, whichever faster or more convenient.
city bus masuk belakang then come out from front and tap icoca to pay.

public transport is very convenient in japan

is it still manageable cycling around kawaguchiko?
do they provide bicycle locks or locks available at each attraction spot at kawaguchiko?
did you cycle to Oshino Hakkai as well?
my initial plan is to get the earliest bus to Oshino Hakkai.
not sure if its possible to cycle to Oshino n back to kawaguchiko station

i wonder if i need to reserve seat if im taking Tokaido shinkansen from Nagoya > Mishima
the first train is 6.45am and the next is 7.38am. middle of april tho.

U can use flightaware website n track past history of the plane.
Kul > Kix. Kix > kul often gets delayed by like 3-4 hrs.
Whereas HND > kul rarely gets delayed. If yes, also awhile only.
So far AAX is the best bang for buck for direct route.
Mas price is double of aax for the same route

I would suggest u to get a hotel that is nearby bus limo service direct to narita airport on your last day.
Imagine u have to be there 3 hrs early.
And heart of tokyo > NRT is around 1 hour.
Which puts you at the peak hour to board train with working class of tokyo.
Its not a pleasant experience for me as i encountered tourists with huge suitcase blocking the way, when im taking train to sensoji temple. Causing inconvenience for others, and trouble for self.

I stayed nearby ginza station last time. I always pick nearby convenient train station, and a konbini nearby for easy restock.
Ginza is more clean n more atas. If u stay at shinjuku, then is rowdy, noisy, dirty at night, but with night life. See wat u desire.
