They gather at Japan Prime Minister house

If together submit, they only give 1 ticket so either of you can come and collect. But submit on your behalf that one not sure, you can try and share with us the result. (but since some people ask travel agency to do on behalf, then the same logic applies to friends right?)

good info to share :

all the transportation passes for japan:

That reading looks totally fine to me. 20-30 cps is normal background reading around the world. Some place in Brazil has naturally radioactive sand with reading more than 200cps, but the people there a totally fine & healthy

submit together, so means can hehe. thanks

I'll be going to Japan this September, Osaka,Kyoto,Nara and Tokyo.. for 10 days plus travelling time..

Just a general question, which is more advisable, to stay in more happening areas such as Shibuya, Shinjuku? or a bit far area such as Asakusa and take train to go places of interest? In terms of cost, accessibility and time?

I'm talking about Tokyo only.

Asakusa

What a competitive market Japan is gonna be!

Budget carrier Jetstar takes off
Kyodo, Bloomberg

The first flight of Jetstar Japan Co., a budget airline funded by Japan Airlines Co., took off Tuesday from Narita International Airport bound for New Chitose Airport near Sapporo.

With the launch, Jetstar became the second discount airline to serve domestic routes in Japan, following the Osaka Prefecture-based Peach Aviation Ltd., a budget carrier owned partly by All Nippon Airways Co. The move appears to set the stage for a full-fledged price war between discount carriers across Japan.

Starting with the launch of Narita-New Chitose and Narita-Fukuoka routes on Tuesday, Jetstar next week will fly between Narita and Kansai International Airport in Osaka and between Narita and Naha Airport in Okinawa Prefecture. On Aug. 24, it will start services connecting Kansai International with New Chitose and with Fukuoka.

Jetstar Japan has said it may grow its fleet to 100 planes by the end of the decade as it lures travelers with fares less than half those charged by JAL and All Nippon Airways Co., the nation's two biggest airlines. Besides Peach Aviation, AirAsia Japan Co. is starting budget flights in Japan this year following the addition of new capacity at Narita.

Peach, which began services in March, estimates up to 40 percent of its customers are first-time fliers, President Shinichi Inoue said last month. The airline and AirAsia Japan are both part-owned by ANA. AirAsia Japan is also backed by AirAsia Bhd., the region's biggest low-cost carrier.

Jetstar Japan expects budget airlines to roughly triple their share of Japanese air travel to 35 percent by 2020.

Skymark Airlines Inc., Japan's biggest discounter, is also boosting services.

Jetstar Japan is offering one-way tickets to Sapporo from Narita for ¥4,490 on its website. JAL is advertising tickets from ¥12,300 flying from Tokyo's Haneda airport in August and September, according to its website.

Yup, i think one of the forummer was saying that he bought an air tix from Kansai to Chitose, didn't know about that until then. Wished i had known that earlier coz bought my tix to KIX and i'm only going for about a week. Otherwise can drop by Sapporo!
