ohh so most places in Japan still cant scan buyer QR code?
*
Yes. Because 99.9% using Alipay user are China traveler, they have scan ability in thier Alipay system. Plus QR code scanner machine will extra cost to the seller. Most Japan vendor only got QR Code.

My credit card that I used to booked all of my accommodations in Japan has been stolen.
The bank have cancelled it and re-issued a new credit card to me.

Will there be a problem to check-in hotels in Japan with a different credit card, than the one that been used for booking?
Do I need to inform all the hotels in advance.

Haihhh... shit do happens when you're about to go for holidays...  sad.gif

When you booked the hotel, payment already made? If payment was later or charge 1 week before check in date, then you need to send a email inform them.
If payment already done by old CC card, then just ignore it.

Most of the hotels payment already made using old CC, fully paid and reservations are confirmed.

Only 1 hotel, booked only and need to pay upon arrival.

If pay upon arrival then you no need sent any email. Hotel don't care you pay with old CC or new CC. Janji you pay upon arrival.
If charge 1 week before check in date with old CC then you really need sent email. biggrin.gif

please help review my itinerary Japan Tokyo. Thank You
*
Do you know Japan hotel check in time was 3pm and check out time was 10am. Alot hotel in Japan won't allow putting luggage at lobby due to limited space. Unless you check in at 4-5 star hotel.

Day 2 no point going hotel direction. From Narita direct go Ueno. Your luggage just put at Ueno station locker.

So from Narita to Ueno part. Just Take Express Skylines train.

To all sifus,

is it feasible to arrive 6am at Haneda, then straight to Hakone for a night. then the next day to head to Kawaguchiko only leave for Tokyo at the night time ??
*
Technically yes. Make sure you head to Shinjuku station first. Odakyu office open at 10am. Buy Fuji Hakone Pass, save you alot money. You should be reaching Shinjuku station by 8am if you leaving Haneda by 6am. You got 2 hrs to kill around Shinjuku. Watching OL walking on street / inside Station are something I usually do.

If save money is not your concern, from Haneda take monorail to Shinagawa station then take bullet train to Odawara.

Hi all, I am travelling to Hakone on 27 Sept for a 2D1N. Look to buy the 3 days Hakone Kamakura Free Pass and use the Romancecar to travel to Hakone.

Question is on 28 Sept I plan to travel back to Tokyo chill, then on 29 Sept only travel to Kamakura for day trip.

Does the free pass allow's for 2 times travel ? To Hakone (27 Sept) > Tokyo (28 Sept) > Kamakura (29 Sept).
*
smile.gif
Yes. As long within 3 days. If you taking Romance Car from Shinjuku - Hakone Yumoto vice versa, even with pass also need to extra top up reserved seat money. smile.gif

Hi, would like to ask, if I were to get into Japan via Haneda with ANA and land at 10.15pm, what are the chances that I can make it out of Haneda before the last train? Because I am not really sure how long it'll take for  me to clear everything.
*
High chances can. To improved higher chances, study the Haneda Terminal 3 Floor Map. You can get it from Haneda Website.

Last Keikyu 23:49 to Shinagawa Station ; Last Monorail 23:46 to Hamamatsucho

Just worried about how long it takes to clear everything and leave the airport. I guess, if really too late, just take a cab. No choice.
Last time sat the super late AirAsia flight into Haneda and managed to run to catch the last bus out of Haneda.
But that was without having a kid tag along.
*
Cab really expensive. The money you spend on cab can overnight at Haneda hotel with hours rate.

Depends which month you are going. Off peak, that timing Haneda very quiet. Can clear within 30 minutes

Peak period, you better be among the first few to leave aircraft and RUN as fast as possible to immigration, pray hard your plane was not parked at the far end of the extended wing (very far to run)
*
Extended wing are not the worst. Most worst is landing at Runway 23. From Runway 23 to Terminal 3 need 30 minute taxing time.

Like that means have to see luck lah. Well, 20k yen is still acceptable since it'll get me to the hotel and can rest for the night before walking the whole day the next day. Of course, taking the train will be the best for the wallet. But if fate has it that I can't make it, then have to skip a few meals in Tokyo lah.  rclxms.gif
*
20K yen + midnight surcharge +20% = Total 24000 Yen

Not sure how much saving but already estimate daily around 5,000 yen per pax for breakfast lunch dinner with snacks in between.

Since you are in Japan for a few years already, how does one get drinking water except buying bottle waters at convenience store ?

I know there is refillable stations located throughout tokyo but have to go lookup each time and also got a water apps called MyMizu.
*
99% restaurant provide free water. (Bottomless)
Japan people drink water direct from water tab.

Park , major station , mall all got drinking machine.

Planning my Feb2024 trip to go skiing. Initial plan was to go to Hokkaido (I've gone to many Honshu resorts but never Niseko) and OH MY GOODNESS hotels (the ski-in/ski-out ones) and stuff are so expensive in Niseko ... for e.g. grand hyatt, non ski time maybe rm1k+ per night, ski season time rm4k+ per night (for normal small room hor, not even suite).
*
I got 11 my favorite Hokkaido Ski Resort. If phase out Niseko still got 7 choice. biggrin.gif

1st: Kiroro Snow World - near to Sapporo & Otaru (If got rent car, no need eat expensive dinner at resort)
2nd: Sapporo Kokusai - near to Sapporo & Otaru (If got rent car, no need eat expensive dinner at resort)
3rd: Furano Prince Snow Resort - near to Furano Town (If got rent car, no need eat expensive dinner at resort)
4th: Rusutsu Resort - This for experience challenger level. (Not for family / Amateur)
5th: Tomamu - Greatest for family but also most crowded with people.
6th: Sapporo Teine Ski Center (Organize Winter Olympic in 1972) (World class level) (Extremely closed to Sapporo City)
7th: Yubari Snow Resort - (Away from crowded people) (Family friendly) (Best ski resort for kids)

Hope you like it.

Boss ... Club Med is one lvl higher even. rm30k/rm37k (Sahoro/Tomamu respectively) for 5 nights for my dates is a little (actually a LOT) out of my capability lol. What I'm looking at now is around rm24k for ski-in-ski-out accoms, full day ski school for all, eq rental and ski pass.

But then again that 24k doesn't include food yet vs Club Med being all inclusive with all the food and activities, and the nanny would be much better than the normal ski schools hor. Hmmm.
*
Bro, Then you try Yubari. 100% Suit your budget.
If Yubari also too expensive then last choice is Sapporo Teine Ski Center. Stay at Sapporo city, drive 20 minute to Ski Center. All you need just pay admission fees and ski equipment rental fee only. Staying at Sapporo can save you alot of money in accomodation part. biggrin.gif
