Hi all,

what would be the best area to stay for easy connectivity, had to travel to tokyo big sight for 3 days to attend an expo.

also, will it better to travel directly to Haneda airport as it closer to city centre? as Narita is far away? Yes i can get direct flight to both from where i flying,

October time. thank you

Haneda is closer but normally from KL reaching Haneda always Midnight. Narita is about 1 hour away from City but your flight reaching Narita will be 1-2pm.
I prefer Haneda because I already expert of Haneda airport layout .

Due to midnight arriving at Haneda, you only had 30 minute from Last train (Monorail or Keihin). If you first time to Haneda basically you will 100% missed it. Your only option left Limousine Bus. Last Limousine Bus also giving you 1 hour from your touch down time. Do your homework, how to get Limousine bus....Familiarize the airport layout and procedure of getting the bus ticket. if you missed the bus, your only option are over night at Airport or taking Rm 800 taxi from airport to Tokyo City.

I always opt for Singapore Airlines as they have Haneda flight that arrive in the morning. Almost all hotels in Tokyo will keep your luggage until u check-in in the afternoon. I will leave bag, go for breakfast and explore temples and back to hotel for check-in after late lunch

Singapore Airline to Haneda already change to 10pm arrived time after Covid. All Foreigners International flight to Haneda only allow arrived at Night.
Morning & Afternoon time are reserved for ANA & JAL for boosting their ticket sales.
If you Take ANA from Singapore to Haneda then you will arrived in morning.

Bro, is this just temporary or will reschedule again once JP fully open for tourist?

It will be permanently. Before Covid, 70% from outside of Japan are schedule to land at Haneda at 9-11pm. Now 100%
You want good timing at Haneda, you are forced to take JAL & ANA or landed at Narita.
This is how the Good Government do thing. Boost own carrier and Boost Narita Airport income.

Pre-Covid Time, ANA & JAL from KUL & SIN are reaching at 10pm. Now reschedule to 6.30pm!!!!
Mama Mia!!!!

Mid or March Condition: Heavy Snow
Otaru - Sapporo are heavy usage road, so road will be always in removed snow by those snow boulder truck. Safe to drive but need extra caution.
Niseko & Hakodate road condition will be very bad. Train will be 50/50 chances closed due to heavy snow.
No snow driving experience are not recommended.

End of March / Early April Condition: Snow
Otaru - Sapporo road condition will good but still in slippery condition. Drive with extra caution.

Niseko & Hakodate road condition will be very slippery. Both side of Road can see very thick snow wall. Snow Boulder truck cleaning snow ration not as much as Sapporo - Otaru, so snow accumulated in road will be alot and very slippery. JR Hokkaido train will be operation.
(No Snow driving experience are not recommended)

Now is a good time to stock up Yen. (If you're earning MYR)

Very tempted, but wondering if it'll drop further

Change some first.

how is the snow condition in January at Hokkaido?

and so far any insider news whether japan will open to individual tourists?

Change some first.

prices should drop once borders are fully open. also depends on fuel prices.

Prices will likely soar due to demand…

Look at how Australia flight prices sky rocketed when their borders opened.

well their volume game is quite low. can't cope with demand. the stupid travel visa not helping. Japan on the other hand is very accessible for most of the world.
