12 years isn't that far in relative terms. The stadium & infra will still be there, it could be more motivation to hold more events at Fukushima, Japanese efficiency will still be there. Big question is; will Abe still be there. It all depends if vaccine can be made and used worldwide by 2021.

Based on my research. Tickets in USJ web can be purchased up to 2 months ahead if im not miataken. And they run out pretty fast. So you got to be fast.
And only certain cards are accepted and the date format is different when input to purchase.
As for klook. They give u random time. If given u 7pm, which is near closing, u cant enjoy it.
I read that you go there super early. Queue, and be the first of many that enter. Then rush straight to SNW. People say this early, timed entry not yet start.
And to register for timed entry. U need to be in the park itself. Then use their USJ app to get a timed slot.
I think there is lottery for those who fail to get a slot.

If youre those early birds, and they didnt change their policy or operating standards. You can just go in straight with just a normal pass.
If youre not risking it, or they suddenly change , no more free early entries then you need express pass on top of your normal pass. And the express pass need to include SNW ya.
I didnt try USJ web jap version tho. I am incapable of checking ou using jap.
Previously i researched n waited, english version web tickets do sell out pretty fast. Need to buy exactly on the date they release it. Especially those early SNW entry time

Report for my 5 days trip in Osaka and Kyoto region (mainly Osaka as base)

Recommend using pocket wifi Japan

I bought until thursday while my flight was on friday morning and they allow u to return next day before 3pm no extra charges

Easy to just drop off at post box in airport

Take note if taking early train or bus

Ticket counter opens at 6am

I thought it doesnt close. How foolish

Lucky flight was early but not super early

Everything was smooth, people were polite

Weather was cold but not too cold

Went to few tourist trap spots just for the photos

And also went USJ

honestly can skip if u not a fan of mario or pokemon or harry potter (i went caz i was)

dont waste moni

You are leaving Japan, so no need declare anything but reach Malaysia is diffrence story.  You need declare if value are high, Custom officer no check then you are safe, if check, then u will be fined and pay penalty x3 of the value.
Cheat code way , throw away the box, make it like used before then you no need pay any tax + delare.

Is the maxis roaming in Japan for their rm89 good enuff than renting a mobile wifi?

There is a 7 days apac plan? All i saw is asean plan and the international roaming for 14 days unlimited data.
