Welcome Suica don't have memory chip. It was design for Tourist, 14 days are most of tourist visiting at Japan.
Normal IC card can last 10 years. Your ICOCA will active until 2027.

Wanna ask, Planning a trip to Tokyo between 23-30 Dec this year

24 - Disneyland
26 - Fuji

Is it advisable to take Fuji Excursion train or use bus . Scared traffic jam haha
*
You must be joking.....Going Disney on 24 Dec
24 25 will be packed with people. You need minimum 2 hours just to entering the park. Almost every ride are 1-2 hours. 1 full day only can play 45-50% of the park.

My flight is in Nagoya, due to the cheap flights I got, so thought of covering that city too since I'm already there

any chances of Tohoku shinkansen being fully booked?

i'm not sure whether to buy the tickets in advanced or not because i'm not sure how long i would need to queue at Narita Airport to enter Japan. So i cannot determine the time.

Maybe i'll buy it on the same day when I arrive. What are the chances that the shinkansen seats from Tokyo to Aomori being fully booked?
*
Only Golden Holiday will Fully Booked. Normally train only 40% - 60% capacity. Normal Weekday can go as low as 30%. 70% empty, whole coach only 5-6 people

Hi sifu sofu sekalian, I would love to have some suggestions.

Travelling to Tokyo and Yamagata Zao with entire family 9 pax during CNY from 10th to 17 Feb 24. 2 healthy elders (Dad Mum) and 1 8 yo (Niece). This is a sudden trip so not much planned yet.

We will arrive Tokyo at night on 10th and booked ski resort in Zao on 12th (initial plan was 11th but no hotel nearby available). May I get some suggestion on what to do on 11th?

Thanks in advanced.
*
My suggestion was Half day in Tokyo then head to Yamagata city. Overnight at Yamagata and Head to Zao on 12th from Yamagata City instead from Tokyo.

Thanks! Would you recommend to go Sentai before Yamagata? Also, would Japan be crowded with tourists during CNY?

You can choose Sendai / Tokyo. Japan will be crowded during CNY. Alot Chinese tourist.
If choose Sendai, dont miss Sendai signature food - Beef Tonque

When you bought tax free goods in Japan, do you really need to declare it to the custom when you are in the airport?
*
You are leaving Japan, so no need declare anything but reach Malaysia is diffrence story. You need declare if value are high, Custom officer no check then you are safe, if check, then u will be fined and pay penalty x3 of the value.


Cheat code way , throw away the box, make it like used before then you no need pay any tax + delare.

Welcome Suica or Real Suica Card which you own before 2022? If Welcome Suica, it will self destruct in 14 days anyway.

Rm60+ inside Welcome Suica cannot be refund at counter (Even you at Japan) + It will self destruct after 14 days from your 1st active date.
Rm60+ no matter how, no way to get it back.

Day 3 you can add Den Den Town
Day 6 can add Pontocho as night activities.
Day 11 , Since you at Asakusa, you might well go Up to Tokyo Skytree.
Day 12, Akihabara alot scam, water are deep. biggrin.gif Make sure you do compare before buy anything. (Except Bic Camera / Yodobashi)


Avoid Ramen. 90% Ramen in Japan used Pork Bone as soup based.
Ichiran Ramen - Ichiran Midousuji Branch & Nishi Shinjuku Branch are Pork Free. The rest of Iciran branch are non Halal.

by average how much a train ticket cost within osaka/kyoto/tokyo?
100-300yen per trip?
is there a discount for kids below 12?

just thinking out loud - 300 yen = RM9~
back and fro = RM18 x 4 tickets = RM72
if i go 3 different places by train per day that would cost me around RM216 per day
12 days = RM2,592

am i roughly correct here?  sweat.gif

Tokyo can used 72 Hrs Metro Pass - Adult 1500, Children 750
Unlimited Ride

i can get this Metro Pass at the train station or airport?
does this Metro Pass applicable to all train stations in Tokyo?

rm144 for 3 days do sounds much, much better than rm216 per day sweat.gif

thanks for the great tips.

how about osaka/kyoto? do they have such unlimited pass?
*
Kansai Thru Pass included Osaka + Kyoto + Kobe Area for 3 days but it cost 5600 Yen. But this include All Metro , Kintetsu , Tram , buses & attrction entrace ticket discout. I dont think you can utilize the full purpose so I didnt mention it. But Tokyo Metro 3 day pass will be the one you needed the most.

Tokyo Metro Pass available in Subway Station. It only can used on Metro Line...It can't used on JR & Seibu & Odakyu & Sagami Railway.
Remember...Only Metro!!

would Metro only be an inconvenience? just wondering.

actually what's the difference between all these different train stations? is it like our lrt/mrt putra ampang/putrajaya line that goes to different places? or they all basically reach the same places just different train/price.

i found it at klook: Tokyo Metro Pass 3 days Unlimited

90% Tokyo are coverd by Metro. But JR got two line Yamanote & Chuo are very convinence & fast but Metro Pass cannot be used.
