Without Chinese tourist. Alot shop cannot survive.

Japan are losing control on Covid, Wave keep coming, each wave are bigger & bigger. Japan alot old citizen, that why until today Japan still didn't open for International tourism.

Those are Hospital / Clinic / Pharmacy which accept those Covid Patient. Those 200k-300k just estimate because 90% Hospital in Japan no longer deal with any Covid Patients ( no matter which level of Covid sickness) which means including Ambulance & Emergency Medic Helicopter.

Those foreigner current at Japan, if kena covid, self isolate and pray to God are only option. If get worst, then just notice your nation embassy to tapau ur body back to your families.

More Expensive abit because need pay travel agency to booked hotel & air ticket & Visa for you.
Preparing black & white travel document.

BTW, I not recommended going Japan this year as tourist due to Japan medic still in collapsing condition. If unlucky, you kena covid, no Hospital / Clinic / Pharmacy will help you. Make sure got Malaysia Embassy contact number in Japan. Seek help when needed.

If Custom ask, then you show the little booklet.
Currently Japan International airport just open for Premium Airlines. All Low Cost are not allow. Tiger Air, Scoot, Jetstar, AirAsia X ...etc...etc....all not allow at the moment.

The hand writing version. When you take the vaccine, the nurse hand out that small booklet / card that record the date and type of vaccine. Booster also got card record.

You still can show the e version, but Japan custom prefer card / solid / actual / old school vaccine certificate.

Japan not dare to losing China market. Not approved Sinovac means no China tourist in future. 60% Japan luxury retail will be closing down.

Its not Government. Contract between AAX & Haneda are not renewal yet. BTW, currently Haneda airport management are not open for any low cost airline, so the contract renewal are stall at the moment. Narita Airport Yes.

I got a feeling, all Low Cost Airline will be shifted to Narita Airport. Haneda will be remain for premium airlines.

Very nice airlines. From KL to Manila will be A321, the aircraft got personal entertainment on each seat. From Manila to Tokyo will be A330.

Food 3/5
Legroom 4/5
Seat comfortable 4/5

Manila International Airport abit old not modern. Something very crowded. Not a great experience.

I almost can confirm, budget airlines no longer land at Haneda anymore.
Good & Bad

Good = no longer midnight flight to Tokyo
Bad = far away from Tokyo City.

No news, based on my daily witness live from Haneda Airport. Currently Haneda Airport Arrival don't have any low cost airlines. Those low cost airlines from S.Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Australia & Malaysia all gone. All shifted to Narita.

Skymarks already shifted to Premium Airlines

Ski will be too expensive for you since you are on budget. Forget about it.
Accommodation part, Airbnb are your only choice. Hotel will needed open 2 room because Japan are very strict on 2 pax one room policy.

If you don't mind suburb side, can stay at Takao area. Morning can hike the famous Takao mountain which I normally hike during weekends whenever I stay at Tokyo. From Takao to Tokyo (Shijuku Station) by Keio Takao Line Limited Express Train / Rapid Train. Journey about 1 hour. If you wanted to feel the real Tokyo vibe, this is a good start.

From KL to SG by Scoot also?
If you going SG by Scoot / SIA then you no need recheck in again because all under one umbrella / code sharing. Your luggage tag will destination airport which is Tokyo Narita. Once you reach Singapore Changi, just follow the Transit sign !! Not the Arrival Sign!! Transit Sign will guide you to Transit hall

From KL to SG by AirAsia / MAS / Firefly...etc etc......then you need pickup luggage ...go through Singapore Kastam then go Departure Hall and check in at Scoot counter...then go thru kastam again.....

This depends airlines policy. When you check in at KL, can ask the staff.

The Airlines I know so far which you can't leave the Terminal during Transit are China Southern Airlines, EVA Airways & United Airlines.

I tot you taking SIA.
SIA can fly direct to Haneda.

Now heading Haneda feel more "Atas" because currently Haneda just open for Premium Airlines.
Narita good also, no need rush for Haneda last train.

Latest guideline for entering Japan

AirAsia X currently don't have approval to land on Haneda.
If you look back few post I post, Haneda currently just opened for Premium Airlines under Star Alliance & One World & Skyteam only.
My guessing was, All low cost airlines will be push to Narita since Narita Terminal 3 are low cost terminal.
