Speaking of theme parks, I’m seeing from trip blogs and etc that Disney and USJ is super crowded cos of revenge travel, anyone here who’s visited lately? I see some others say USJ is like 2hr queue for each ride without fast pass.
*
not surprised, last time before covid ady like that.

if really crowded I recommend choose ur time wisely.
u can do many thing there...
better focus on the Disney musical show, the 4D/5D theater, castle attractions, boat ride, parade and most important fireworks.

AAX to Haneda won't be Cancel or reschedule because Haneda only open 3 slot for AAX to land at Haneda per week only. Plus Haneda also open 3 slot for budget airline & AAX are one of the million lucky airlines.
*
what does 3slots means?
3 landing + departure /week
or
3 days/week

Hi everyone,

Upcoming Japan trip to Osaka - Kyoto on 2nd Feb ~ 9th Feb. Can anyone recommend how thick winter cloth should I prepare? Like will it snow in Kyoto?

Checked the weather forecast, roughly 10c on average.
*
u definitely need winter wear.

as for thickness it is very subjective, coz i tied before a simple long sleeve cotton wear during 10°C.

another tips, use google image and search for kyoto feb.
it is better to wear matching fashion, then to test ur limit.

I tried master as well. Different cards, never go through. I think Japan website problem dont accept Malaysian credit card.

I asked people from Taiwan side help me buy, straight go through. Summore is Visa card. So not true Visa have problem..is more like japan online payment got problem with some countries credit card. Malaysia is definitely one of them
*
yoo... u need to call your bank to authorise oversea transaction.
then u need to set the limits.

Has anyone here used GOGO Roaming Japan Sim Card? How's the performance of the data in Kansai area? Is it the data is unlimited for the whole day?
*
it would be better go to shopee and ask the agent directly.

Agent will surely say the good things only. Aboh how they gonna sell the sim card? So I try my luck here to see if anyone here used it.

Any good pocket wifi recommendation? Cos i'm actually travelling in a big group of 17.
*
no recommendations coz each country and telco use different 4G or 5G band.

if u want reputable one, just can check out huawei, xiaomi, zte...

Tokyo Banana is one of the most overrated souvenir, almost everyone bought it but almost everyone tasted it all agrees it's too sweet and very artificial, not to mention not cheap also

if wanna buy snacks as souvenir, can get the Kitkat, many flavors aren't available here, some are seasonal, they even got the Sake version, everyone loved it
*
for me not something to be missed and overrated... yes
taste a bit subjective to individuals and most of the ppl will still buy it, nothing wrong.

oh i only remember kitkat yam flavor, the rest all forget.

but... according to the current statistic, the Chinese "horde" still hasn't arrived in Japan in bus loads, most are just small groups like families and friends
likewise for Thailand, when they're expecting hordes of Chinese tourist but there's only a trickle..

in Japan, you'll have higher chance bumping into Koreans and Taiwanese than Chinese tourist
*
depends which place u choose to visit.

someone once told me, going to usj/disney is like going to China 🇨🇳
🤷‍♂️

my SIA slight arrived in Tokyo around 5-6am (during Oct 23 trip)

I'm worried to take AAX because of the risk
*
2 scary things about AAX late arrival.
1. Long immigration queue
2. Didnt know direction to train station

I've spend 2 weeks in Osaka and Tokyo last Sept, only 1 day was raining, while the rest was hot like hell

even purposely bought a lightweight rainproof parka to for it, end up zero utilization.
