QUOTE(ineser @ Nov 8 2022, 04:59 PM) I am also in dilemma, just left this part. I just flew back to Japan from the UK last week. I am 3 shots sinovac. If you click on it, u can choose "No" in the option.  Similar to you, I just completed the first 3 parts and ignored the last one as pre-tests are no longer needed. No problem at all. cloud_valentine89 liked this post

@RegentCid, hello!
Knew you were a long timer here, so wanted your opinion on something. Based in Kyushu for the past 6 years and haven't really travelled to Hokkaido yet (a shame I know). So I was thinking of doing a short trip there next month, maybe around mid-Dec for 4D3N covering Sapporo, Otaru and Asahikawa (1 day each). I have no driving license here, so will only be using public transportation. Would this duration and places be OK? Or do you have any other good recommendations for a winter visit?

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Nov 10 2022, 03:11 PM) Winter just started on mid Dec, mild snow. Public transport won't be any problem. Emm, why going Asahikawa if you only got short period of time. Mostly people going Asahikawa because of Biei & Furano but since you going on Winter trip + you not going Furano direction. Just take out Asahikawa part. Unless you want to taste Asahikawa special which is Wild animale meat Well, we wanted to visit the zoo.  Just focus on Sapporo & Otaru. Make it light & easy. I'm aware that people usually visit Biei & Furano for the lavenders, but how about winter? I saw that Lake Biei and the Biei shrine is very nice in winter... Would you recommend visiting Biei / Furano in winter if we skip the zoo instead or if we add 1 more day to our itinerary? |

If you going Biei and Furano, make sure you go Tomita Farm Winter edition. Very pretty. If you never been Japan zoo before or see any penguin before. I strongly recommend Asahikawa Zoo. They have the best penguin in Japan. Cool! I'll check out Tomita Farm. |

QUOTE(cloud_valentine89 @ Nov 17 2022, 10:52 AM) Hi all, How about Wise? It's available in Malaysia. I am travelling to Japan for leisure for 18days. Its quite scary to carry a stack of cash around. I heard about the Revolut but sadly its not available in Malaysia. Is there any other option? Are there any e wallet option available for tourists? Thanks! https://wise.com/my/ |

Quick question which I hope @cannellini or @RegentCid would be able to provide some recommendations...
I'm aware that New Year (shogatsu) in Japan is a big thing with many places closed, but do you have any recommendations on where to visit during that period (approx between Dec 30th - Jan 3rd)? Already spent several shogatsu in Kyushu and last year in TDR, so out of ideas now... Besides USJ, what other places would you recommend with not so many closed shops and some activities to do during that period? |
