hi guys, some query since i will be going OSAKA April:
1) Where can i buy toys and figurines in OSAKA such as Gundam? probably a place with more choices or more outlets to choose from? 2) Is there a place in Rinku Outlet that i can put my luggage? cause im planning to go Rinku once touchdown to airport since that place is so near to Rinku. |

hi guys,
quick question. Need your advice in terms of feasibility. i am going to OSAKA but then it has always been a dream for me to take the actual picture of Mount Fuji and to have an actual look at the mountain. based on most of the info here, Hakone seems to be the best place to take a view. Is it feasible for me to travel all the way from OSAKA to Hakone just to see Mount Fuji and return? Any estimated cost? Or probably is there an alternative location for me to view Mount Fuji which is more feasible? Many Thanks This post has been edited by dasoulz: Jan 30 2012, 05:03 PM |

Guys, quick question. I am going with my wife to Japan but for bank account statement, can both of us relate to 1 account only which is mine. The amount in that account is definately more than enough for 2 (above 12k).

Guys, quick question. are money changers easily available in OSAKA?
will like to change USD to Yen directly in Japan rather than changing USD to MYR then only to Yen to avoid money changers in Malaysia earning twice from me. |

QUOTE(yipster @ Apr 12 2012, 11:15 AM) hi guys..i need a little help here. i am going japan during may and i will be taking the air asia flight. the flight reaching to japan is around 10:30-11. my main plan was to rough it out in the airport till around 5-6am for the earliest train to town as i was afraid i cant make it in time to ride the last train and prefer not to pay for the extra charges for midnight taxi. the question is, can i rough it out overnight in the airport? as far as i know, some airports doesnt allow that. anyone tried? thanks a million in advance! not too sure about Haneda but for Kansai airpot, they have some lounge that allows u to rest/shower/internet for a fee. i have lost the leaflet on that but im sure you can get it online. hope this info is helpful if u r going in through Kansai |
