All currency got up & down wan lor.. Since last week US$ rising against RM & so do others except Euro, won, Aussie $ & few more
& All very speculative ..otherwise no currency traders liao

Japan is not like Malaysia and Taiwan. It don't have Pasar malam. Japan ( Tokyo ) most of shop closed at 10pm...except Shinjuku Red Light district.

If want street food at night...Osaka is the placed. Osaka where? U do ur homework...I won't give direct answer

Ahhh...my wrong.

I wish too....why not?

Dude, any suggestion on arriving Haneda airport approaching midnight? Take bus to city and check in hotel or wait until the next morning to take 1st train to city for check in???

I get to know the crowd in public transport is terrible lots during office hours...if want to have ease in crowd, is it advised to go out around 9am n back to hotel around 9pm onward???

OK..spoonfeed abit and link this bus co (Keihin Kyuko) which I took from Haneda to T-CAT (near Tokyo Stn & Nihonbashi distrcit)....Well.. FOR sure there are late night busses. When I took the last bus without late night charges (I think 12am (?)...I still see ques at the back of me waiting for 12:15 & for sure more thereafter..Only problem ..fare is almost double & also limited stn as you can check here..

thx dude!

Anyways, I'm going there for 9D6N.....I plan to exploring around in Kanto region include Mt.Fuji, is it advisable to stick in 1 hotel or divide the hotel stay in 2 or 3 locations????

If within Kanto no need liao lor.. but if you want other regions let say Hokkaido or even to Kyoto.. Yes you need.

Hehehe....taikoh stimix, last time which hotel were you stay in Tokyo? Don't mind, can share ar?

Horidome villa in nihonbashi. Just 800m walking distance from t-cat Tokyo and ~1.5km from Tokyo stn. There are 3 mrt stn within 400m from this hotel. Book via agoda but I think hotel.com cheaper

live from Ibis Hotel Shinjuku..

u have to be fast if u take AA arriving at around 11pm..

i ngam ngam take the last train to Shinjuku..

if u wanna save some $$ u can sleep at rent DVD shop or comic house or Denny 7-11

Fuyoo....Live from Shinjuku...I jelous....I wish I an go Shinjuku too

Horidome villa is the last hotel tat i stayed during my trip to japan... i feel itz the most inconvenient hotel for me... coz i m carrying 2 big luggage (me n my gf) to go to the hotel... from the subway to the hotel, itz consider near if u r not carrying anything... but if u r carrying heavy luggage with u, u will not enjoy it as u need to carry it up n down the stair from the subway...

personally i love Oak Hotel, very friendly and helpful staffs, wifi available in the room, near to Ueno with lots of things to eat... around 100m from Inaricho station... n u no need to drag the luggage up the stairs as escalator is available at tat station...

what is that? hmm, looks tempting..any address?

That's why, I never carry any luggages anymore esp main most of transport is via train/MRTs.. Lotsa bad experience.. furthermore, using luggage is heavy.. U can't buy lotsa things if going using luggages..due to AAX limitation.
I brought 2 backpacks of 50 & 55L wth me and bot also check-in and still below 15Kg even after all the shoppings in Tokyo ..Carrying ~ 5-6Kg each of the backpack and walking ~ 400-1km is sap-sap water haha.. luggages.. as u said up & down those subways without excallator really a killing hehe

Reason why we choose Horidome bcos of the T-Cat mah... esp AAX reaching near midnite ..Thereafter, Decided not to switch any hotel liao... Can stay OK-dy although bed super small.

Ok...this make thing more easy

i will update the pic of the surrounding later...

going osaka next year for one week..any suggested itinerary and the estimated budget? thanx everyone

Just to check with you the late night bus only runs that time or is frequent? My flight arrive 11.30pm i worry by the time i reach the bus stop it is only bus I unable catch.

From the website, There is no real route schedul just examples of the departing & arrival timing.. If you go even lower, u can see even one example given the departure time at 4am... The top para already asked you not to worry haha.. Only problem is the "extra" you need to top up.. That xtra probably OK if you go 1 or 1 ppl.. but after 3-4 ppl, I think taking taxi cheaper
