I'm going next week.
Planning to visit Kansai in 2014, after USS opens its Harry Potter attraction first! haha
@Human Nature : Just a tip for you, before you choose between Disneysea or Disneyland, check the rides closure dates, if too many rides are closed for one theme park you might as well choose the other one so your money spent will be worth it! Also some days they close at 6pm, pick the date where they close at 10pm! lol
So far my itinerary
Day 1: Tsukiji, Ginza, Imperial Palace (touch-n-go), Shinjuku (Kabukicho)
Day 2: Asakusa Sensoji area, Akihabara, Odaiba
Day 3: Yokohama (Yamate, Harbor View Park, Chinatown, Yamashita Park, Osanbashi Pier, Minato Mirai)
Day 4: Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Shibuya (+Tokyo Tower+Roppongi if possible)
Day 5: Disneysea
Day 6: Hakone
Day 7: Shinjuku (metropolitan area)
I skipped: Ueno Park & zoo, Ikebukuro, Roppongi (most probably), Kamakura, Nikko, Kawagoe, Tokyo Dome, Disneyland, Studio Ghibli, some notable museums, aquarium, stadiums, ramen museum in Yokohama, lots of nice parks, and a free 2-hours tour of Imperial Palace

Hmm for me Odaiba would be a day. so many things to see.. well for me that is. didn't get to explore Palette town fully and also didn't manage to go Lalaport. I took the himiko from Asakusa to Odaiba. Not sure if you can slot akihabara in between though. Just make sure to visit DiverCity in Odaiba smile.gif

Actually.. for me Odaiba just so-so only...Just a stn to snap the Rainbow bridge, Fuji TV Stn, & statue of Liberty.. The Aqua mall so boring and most probably the same to that pallete town although I din go there..

with that much of money in saving...you won't get approved. But lucky you got wife in Japan study....You take taking ur wife as ur guarantor ...then u can skip that RM6k saving.
But if u do anything stupid in Japan...ur wife will in deep shit.

all u need is bring ur marry certificate and say ur wife be ur gurantor
