If let say we buy metal build gundam (RM2K+), then we throw away the box, if customs check, then will they ask what are you doing with this toy?

It wouldn't make sense to say that we brought this gundam from Malaysia to Tokyo just to play with it right lol

what if i put EdisonAhBeng as first name

and Lee as last name

would be ok too, righ?

Thanks

Between JetStar and Peach Aviation, which is better?

I notice the fare for JetStar is slightly cheaper compared to Peach Aviation. 

Question on travelling to Kyushu for 2.5 weeks -- considering options for Shinkansen ticket purchase:
1. Touchdown at morning in Tokyo
2. Hop on Shinkansen towards Fukuoka/Hakata station
A) standalone ticket Tokyo - Hakata?
B) standalone ticket Tokyo - Osaka then use 7d Sanyo Sanin pass to Fukuoka?
C) other combinations JR pass of standalone ticket from Tokyo to X?
3. Flight back via  Fukuoka - Tokyo - Malaysia

A) option is pricey so I'm hoping for alternatives via the regional passes... Will be carrying big luggage so will need to reserve special seats + will try to secure the side for nice Fujisan view, which means we'll have to probably stand by and buy it on the dot when the sales period is available.

Haven't really figured out where to go but I'm very interested in Beppu onsen and quick glanced through existing posts with keyword "Kyushu", sounds like Nagasaki is a good choice(?) Open for ideas to + what ticket passes to get, thanks all.

My bad, I should clarify: flight tickets already bought, and Fujisan view is meant to be a bonus but what we really want is the Shinkansen experience itself. We plan to board only one way since it's more expensive than the flight, so what I'm exploring now are the options and prices, hoping for a cheaper deal.

We're going late Nov - early Dec to catch the autumn leaves in Kyushu, hopefully... Will the elusive Fujisan show up for us?

wow....akihabara is a very vibrant area. My main purpose is to look for a hotel / area that i can  easily catch a train or bus to narita coz i got an early flight to catch . Anyway, thanks for your info. will start doing my homework soon. 

10.20 am. Any reasonable hotel to recommend at akihabara?

We're planning to drive in Japan (just my bf, I'm photographer/🥔 ). I understand international license will be required but the technicalities aside, I'd like to ask more general "on the ground" questions:

- parking availability/cost: how is it like in small towns (see list below)?
- laws and unspoken rules: anything that might not be obvious to Malaysian?
- safety: I suppose no winter tyres required for late autumn, right?

Places we might drive in:
-  Beppu town
- Hiroshima (maybe less likely)
- still studying around Kyushu, recommendations for/against welcome.

I'm weighing our options against getting a JR regional pass (+ maybe more other daily passes), especially gonna use that for longer distance like Hiroshima-Fukuoka, so I hope that we can use public transport wherever convenient enough.

I'm planning to drive there aswell especially on rural areas. But I'm still confused with yellow solid middle line. Understand it meant by can't overtake car over the line, but is it allowed to turn right? As their rural road is pretty long and hard to find a way to u turn. I tried to search around but mostly the answer were mix.

Newbie question - how much is the fare from Tokyo Station to Narita for the airport limo bus?

thanks for the insight! but i am still cuntfused! so meaning if i example wanna stay around shibuya  then don't take bus?  sorry but i am really noob.

if direct, just take ANA or MAS. JAL timing wise not very nice + I seldom see got sales.

ANA always got sales from time to time. The bonus with ANA is their promo also comes with free domestic flight transfers. Good to plan for travel to other regions. So far I have done

KUL-->NRT/Haneda (stay a few days)-->fly to Hakodate-->slowly travel upwards to Sapporo-->Chitose Airport-->NRT-->KUL

KUL-->Haneda (overnight)-->Hiroshima-->Travel to Okayama, Himeji, Kobe, Arima Onsen-->Osaka Itami Airport-->NRT-->KUL

KUL-->Haneda (overnight)-->Wakkanai-->Drive through Northern and Central Hokkaido back to Sapporo-->Chitose Airport-->NRT-->KUL

@RegentCid, in my opinion Rokurinsha Tokyo Station dropped standard jor. Quite disappointed.

Thank you, bro. I should be in Ueno by Friday. Initially thought of eating at Sharin Ueno but since Rokurinsha at Tokyo Station was a bit disappointing (compared to my many visits over the years to their various branches in Tokyo - Osaki, Solamachi, Haneda and Ueno - the last visit was in 2018) and Sharin is actually Rokurinsha Ueno (and I have tried Sharin at least once before) I would try Ramen Kamo To Negi or Aidaya this time.

Ohayo, I am wondering, if reach Haneda Airport late ie. 12AM, what travel option do i have? Seems like train start at 5am.

has anyone done shikoku?

wait, means there were no jet bridge?

Any comment on going to Hokkaido middle of May?

Just booked ANA for
KUL - NRT - CTS (layover 2 hr 25 min)
CTS - HND - KUL (layover 1 hr 20 min Terminal 2 to 0)

Is the checked baggage automatically transferred? Is 1 hr 20 mins suffiicient for transfer from Terminal 2 to 0 at Haneda?
