hi all, is it better to buy e-sim locally or just use maxis roaming? which is more reliable? for 10 days trip.

Some local SIM has super terrible connection. So I would pick Maxis roaming.

One interesting option would be Flexiroam.

Hi guys,

I need advice.

I will be travelling to Japan for 15 days.

I am currently using MAXIS unlimted plan in Malaysia.

What i need to do if i travel to Japan?

Thanks in advance.

Roaming on home telco is usually the most convenient. Only have to buy the appropriate package and switch on "roaming" and you are good to go.

But cost wise, there are much cheaper alternative. For example. For 15 days eSIM at 1GB/day will only cost about RM33+ with Trip.com. But you will have to do a bit of setup.

i will be visiting kyoto and MT Fuji.

Any tips how to travel from Kyoto to Mt Fuji ? Need to rent a car from there on?

We are planning to stay 2 nights at hakone.

Just a small tip. Advance weather forecast for mountain are only reliable 1 or 2 days before. So don't plan too far ahead based on weather forecast.

My flight to Tokyo using Scoot has been rescheduled for the 3rd time. Now will have a 1-hour stop-over at Taipei before heading to Narita. Have to be at Changi early morning and book hotel for 1 more night at Tokyo, what a mess.

add: Just checked, it is fly thru transit, no place change

Air Asia is better, including rescheduling service. Talking from some experience.

An alternative. Apps like Trip.com has airport transfer, often with option to greet you at arrival hall. Get a quote there.
