QUOTE(underscore_lee @ May 1 2025, 05:51 PM) Hi guys, I’m doing a solo trip to Tokyo and trying to find some cheap accommodation, preferably below rm200 per night since just solo. Ok with communal shower & toilet but prefer to have my own room so that I can unload luggages. Check airbnb hostel for cheap stay, i saw some one night 150 only.. but beware of thin walls and small roomThinking of trying 1 night at capsule hotel too - any good recco? Would prefer to stay close to city (probably ginza, Shibuya, shinkuju areas?) so I can just walk back after exploring and not confined to train timing. Appreciate your help! underscore_lee liked this post

Hi all, just wanna ask all those that has experience bringing kids to Tokyo.
Are baby chairs common in restaurants around Tokyo? I know that family based restaurants do have (e.g conveyor belt restaurants, fast food chains, etc) but the restaurants that we plan to visit seem pretty popular and cramped (e.g.some sushi restaurants in tsukiji, ramen shops) those restaurants also seem to only have counter seats and my kid will be too small to sit on a counter seat by himself. In Malaysia, baby chairs are common in all restaurants. This post has been edited by Shinka: May 4 2025, 02:04 PM |

And any purchase above 5k yen in a single receipt is tax free some more. Bought all my winter clothing there and save a lot comparing to purchase locally. |

Hi all, I have a question. According to the japan immigration website, we are only allow to be in Japan for 180 days per year. This year I've been there for 89 days (from feb to may), end of this year [dec 22 to jan 5] (christmas + new year) i plan to go there for another 14 days and next year feb / march i plan to again for animejapan 2026 and travel to other states (not sure how many days yet).
Based on my understanding is that they count through rolling year, meaning from 2025 feb to 2026 feb if i have stay over 180 days? While i understand that I may not be over 180 days, im still scare that if immigration will give me any trouble for visiting so often? or will i be fine? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by HumanExtinction: May 18 2025, 10:22 PM |

Your first Japan trip start on 2025? Example you 2025 Feb 15 10am start entering Japan, 180 days limitation will be removed on 2026 Feb 15 10am. If you didnt been to Japan on 2024, basically Dec trip will no be any problem.

More than 180 days will no just Fine, you will be also get blacklisted to entering Japan for next 5 years. This post has been edited by RegentCid: May 19 2025, 10:22 AM |
