Thanx guys for the advice.. Will stick to my backpack for easy travelling..
I guess japan subway will be something like seoul and hongkong right? If that so, i'm not so worry..

Almost like seoul...but more complicated than Hong Kong

Hi guys...my fren told me go japan is very hard...is it true?
he say bank account not enuf money they will ask u to go back
they sked ppl 'jump plane' and stay there really got such thing?

Got Money then easy.

Apply Visa minimum bank Statement are RM6k.

One problem is different companies, different tickets. Using a day/week pass or touch card is easier.

Suica/Pasmo easier, passes are cheaper (unless you ONLY wanna go ONE PLACE per day, in which case the passes are kinda not that good). But passes are limited to certain lines, so it's kinda problematic and you have to plan your trips to the dot.

any recommended place to visit in yokohama & tokyo?

That depends, what you wanna do? If you wanna see culture, Asakusa, Kamakura/Enoshima and maybe Nikko (not exactly in Tokyo, but good for a day trip) are good spots IMHO. For shopping, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, Ueno's shopping district under the JR line. Upscale shopping, Ginza. For anime stuff/electronics, Akihabara, Nakano, Ikebukuro's shoujo street (anime stuff). For camera specific stuff, Nakano (Fujiya Camera), Ginza, Shinjuku, Akihabara, the Yotsuya-Sanchome area (one particular store), Omori (CrossPoint).

For Yokohama, Kannai (also the stadium close by), Chinatown and MinatoMirai/Habour area are generally a good bet. Also that park thing that everyone goes to.

Having been a tourist in both cities, I agree that London is WAY easier than Tokyo. Cid you live in Japan cannot make unbiased comparison liao just compare the number of lines & stations in both systems also can see the huge difference liao.

Hi there...just to ask here....there is a promotion for airasia currently to fly from KL to osaka(total RM500++ per person) currently......just need some quick info....

If only stay and play in osaka, approximately how many days is enough to explore almost 90% of that place??

And if I do book a hotel, what is the average price per night for the hotel in osaka?(i think 3 star is enough or maybe 2 star also OK)

Thanks for the answer....

I do like to know how much i need to ready for 10D9n Trip in osaka?
as cheap in airasia ticket ... planning to go.

Question:
1: how much i need for 2 person for 10D9N in Osaka exclude air ticket?
2: How far i can go around Osaka with 10D 9N?
3: How was the backpacker is different from Euro? as it almost same price with budget hotel.

all i can say, 9days will be ample time for you to visit osaka/kyoto/kobe/nara(1day should be enough).
you can cramp Nagoya in, but i still think you should cover Osaka n Kyoto as fully possible

Anyone know if tripod is allowed into Tokyo Disneyland?
Read some mixed comments elsewhere

is getting citizenship in japan hard??

I think you can get a working visa first for increasing your chance to get a citizenship in Japan.

Hi how does one get from Malaysia to Hokkaido? Do we hv to go to either osaka or Tokyo then take domestic flight to sapporo? Any advise please? Thanks

Direct flight will be more cheaper.

Japan domestik air ticket are very expensive....RM convert to Yen totally too expensive. Tokyo to New Chitose by JAL / ANA ticket are RM1,000 plus. Go by Air DO or Skymarks will cheaper but still need RM800 above.

Is it allowed to stay 3people when book double/twin room hotel in kyoto? I heard some places/country thats not allowed.. I'm thinking of just getting double bed room for 3 of us to save some money.. triple bed room is too expensive..

Unless you ask beforehand, else most of them do not allow 3 person to share a double bed. I heard it can be quite serious if you get caught for slipping in the 3rd person quietly..

Added on December 17, 2011, 3:03 amI'm sure someone here has the experience of taking AA flight to Haneda and reach there late at night.. Just wondering if we have enough time to clear the immigration and collect luggages before catching the last train at least?

My friends dunwan to stay over in the airport so we've booked the accommodation in Ikebukuro on the first day arrival..
