Mine to Osaka this August. Hoping AA can extend to cancellation till Aug 2020 (now still June 2020). Also 100 Yen to MYR 4.01, quite expensive currency exchange now

My flight to osaka suppose on Aug 2020 but still cant cancel due to AA said the flight still operating ( chat via ava ). Still hoping AA can extend the travel till Aug 2020.

And Yes, many of japan event cancelled till end of year

Yup, agree. I dont mind if AA cancelled my flight, as long I can get re-book on next 2021 or maybe 2022. My trip to Osaka supposedly is my wedding gift to my waifu. Looks like need contingency plan for now

Just get sms from airasia saying my flight to osaka on aug has been reshedule 1 hour earlier. I hoping they cancel my flight, instead, they reschedule

Just receive SMS from AA mention my flight on 21 Aug are cancelled.

Hi all, thinking to repeat trip to Osaka this year or maybe next year. Previously was fliying using airasia x and its kinda affordable. But since after covid, even airasia x flight is sky rocket.
Just wondering if let say I landing at Nagoya and ride train/buses to Kyoto/Osaka, it is make sense?

Example
AAX > KIX ( around 1.7-2k random date )(not all inclusive)
SIA > SG > NGO (1.9-2k) ( all inclusive ) random date

Both flight are return flight

Yes, I already calculate the bus/train train and somehow its match with AAX price direct flight. Well will take account on this thanks


Okay I not alone thinking about this. Coz previously only land at haneda or kansai airport. just wanna try others airport and possibility to explore other part of japan. thanks

for me, hakone can skip if you can. as if your intention to view mt fuji, i think better go for kawagucko. Last time I went to hakone ( took the hakone kamakura pass) it was fun as so many ride can naik ( boat ,cable car and train) but mt fuji really shy2. the place also big. If you have spare time then yes can go.

last time on 2018-2019 i using from hello1010 website and its quite fast for both osaka and tokyo. And yes, with so many sim card seller on shopee, the price is really compatative to get from sopee.

oh, the hello1010 carrier interchangeable (ntt docomo/softbank during that time)

ahhh i see. didnt realise hello1010 was not fully 4g. noted shall search local sim for my next japan trip

Just went back from Kansai region 30/8 - 10/9. Those who going in next 2-3 month, this what I can share;

- KIX airport now in renovation so the departure will only open 1 lane. Do come early if you have a peak time flight
- Indeed its super crowded. Those planned to go USJ, if you can afford to take express pass, take it. Otherwise, do ride with the most ride you like (eg mario or roller coaster flying which paid of the ticket)
- Tourist from PRC and Korea is takes more than 60-80% of the total visitor. ( only Kobe I felt macam local style, less tourist)
- Only tips I indeed really useful, come early to every tourist attraction you wan to visit, definitely worth it

Immigration was fast due to autogate, but security is slow due to only one lane open. It was 8AM flight. takes around 20min as I remeber to reach security check

my bro brought at klook

yess. it was like disneyland when I was at kiyumizudera. bamboo forest. domtoburi? even around 9AM also people start to pack

I see. if you remember, there was something close in the middle of of departure hall. Seems it will fully completed around winter 2023-2024

Also as for weather, the first 3-4 days was super hot at Kyoto but gradually okay after that. Weather forecast at japan MET seems really accurate as they have 2 week forecast and 60-70% accurate. The fun part is can use autogate when departure from KIX which really nice ( last time went 2018 )

Ohh during arrival kix, got sticker on the passport. on 2018 when I depart from kix, it will stamped on the passport during departure. Now can use autogate, save hassle. However its limited to certain country I think and MY listed as autogate user . also elderly and person travel with kids need to manned gate to clear immigration

haha sorry if I make you pening . let me rephrase like this;

2018
landing KIX - got landing permission state temporary visitor
go back KUL - the passport will be stamped 'departed'

2023
landing KIX - still got same sticker as 2018
go back KUL - use autogate, no more 'departed' stamp on passport

Thank you for this info. definately will go this branch next time. Previously I went to Halal Ramen Honolu Premier Kyoto Gion to get my halal ramen

No, please bring from Malaysia. Eventhough they mention can request paper from station, I bet save a lot time bring from home

For wifi/sim part, can just buy from shopee/lazatda sim card also works. you can buy sim card at yodobashi/bic camera.
