Hi everyone, I would be travelling with my mom in Tokyo for 34 days this coming oct to nov. I have booked sotetsu fresa inn through agoda and it costs roughly around rm8k but can cancel last min. I have saw ppl online recommending services like oakhouse apartment for a better deal if stay for a month. Can anyone tell me what the best bang for buck for 2 persons stay? I don't mind if the apart or room is small cause we will be going out all day long anyway. My budget is around 7k - 8k.

Got any good recommendation for the service apartment? I saw oakhouse reviews quite good.
Just searched it but for my date only got 2 hotels which are located in Kanagawa but the price also almost the same as the one that i booked 

Are you sure? Because went to 2 money exchange both dunwant to accept because its old note.
Its well preserve because its packed in plastic for years..

Traveling from Tokyo to Fukuoka by shinkansen using the JR pass, maybe stopping by Hiroshima to have a look see (1-2 day?). Either Hiroshima or Kumamoto.
Total 5 days for this side trip, then last day will probably fly back to Tokyo since its quicker.
Will the trip be too rush? 2 person with 2 large luggage.

hi guys, i have purchased the JR Pass, im thinking to go hakone.

Should I get the Hakone Free pass or its more economical to take the shinkansen to Odawara and then pay seperately for local transport in Hakone ?

Going to Japan on mid april using 5 days Takayama-Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass. And my iternary as follows
Kyoto for 3 nights
From Kyoto to Kanazawa using pass JR limited Thunderbird and stay for 2nights. Going to shirakawago with hokutetsu bus (using pass) for day trip. On same day Nohi bus (using bus) to Takayama. Stay at Takayama for 2 nights.

My questions:
Is spending 1 night at takayama sufficient?  As i checked the hotel booking on 14-15 april is limited and plan to shorten it 1 night. Or any recommended budget hotel there?
Would like to try shinkasen train from kanazawa to toyama but cant find any bus from toyama to shirakawago, is the bus suspended? Would like to visit the doraemon musuem and starbuck outlet there (prettiest in the world?)
What to do at nagoya for 2 days? Thanks

hi again bro... so sorry so many questions recently.

I am renting a car to drive in Nagoya, would you recommend me to go for Shirakawa-go or Gokayama?

i have read that Gokayama has less tourists, which of course its good with less foot traffic but activity wise looking from japan-guide.com looks like there is less activities or things to do at Gokayama.

Would like to have a more local insight in to this.

Anyone knows if Dyson in Japan is much cheaper than the selling price in Malaysia? Just saw it in shinjuku and it's about Rm1.5k..

I can open and use it here in Japan first right? 😂😂

just back from osaka......very cold because of cold wave
surprise there have Ichiran Ramen with no pork, it's using beef, worth to try
