QUOTE(nicodemus88 @ Aug 11 2011, 09:10 PM) Hmm... Another question regarding the visa, I read from the Japan Embassy that there is no application fee required for Malaysians applying for tourist visa, is it correct? I was not really sure as I thought applying for visas always requires some fee... Can someone confirm it for me? No fee.....all you need is bring your bank statement showing you got minimum 6k above for each visa. A passport

QUOTE(Yoru No Hikari @ Aug 12 2011, 02:07 PM) if trough agent we still need to had 6K in our bank account statement for Visa application? This got 2 answer....... As long you go Japan by non travel Agency tour group...you need RM6k in bank account. Even you ask travel agency do the visa for you..... Another way to was you sign up those travel agency tour package.....like RM3.7k - Rm5.5k . Then those travel agency will apply those Group Visa....that way you no need show any bank statement......everything settle by travel agecy.

Abit change ....
First Osaka...then Kobe then only Kyoto. No point you when to East side[Kyoto] then back to West [Kobe] And then go back to East side [Tokyo]...this make no sense.
make it all the way from West to East. Taking bus from Kyoto > Tokyo are cheaper then Osaka > Tokyo....
One more thing is....How can you miss the Universal Studio of Japan when you visit Osaka? And how can you miss the Dotonbori [Hearts of Osaka] and Namba? .....
Tokyo side....you miss the Visit of Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower....no visit Tokyo tower how can you say you have been to Tokyo city? You should plan roponggi hills also

QUOTE(nikonfan @ Aug 15 2011, 12:42 PM) ok since u have 10-12 days , going to TOKyo wont be too rush for u. i have only 7nites, so going for 3 places around is just nice, i believed. the price for bus ticket is cheap, but time travelling is a bit too long. Added on August 15, 2011, 1:44 pmkyoto to osaka takes less than 30mins by train i think (according to Airasia) so worth to take a look. Another way to Kobe City are Air Asia landed at Kansai Airport.....From Kansai Airport got a counter sell ferry ticket transit to Kobe Airport. From Kobe Airport take airport train to Kobe City.

If you plan only taking trains in Kansai Area then buy JR West Rail Pass is most suit. 2,000 1 day Pass....maximum is 4 days pass. This pass works in Osaka , Kyoto , Kobe subways.
To get this pass you need go Major train Station in Kansai // Airport ticket infomation counter get it. This pass only sold for foreiners...So you must show your Passport with Visa together then only can get it.
Another:
The Surutto Kansai 2 Day and 3 Day Tickets cost about the same as the JR West Kansai Area Pass, but cover a wider and denser network, including the subways and city buses of Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe, but excluding JR trains. Unlike the JR West Kansai Area Pass, the Surutto Kansai Tickets can also be used by residents of Japan.

Go by Alone ...you need apply Visa. Need minimum Rm6k above bank statement and some document.
Go by tour then you no need apply Visa. The Tour will apply tour group Visa for you. No need worry on transport and accommodation. All you need just pay RM3k-5k.
