Tokyo is too damn packed.
All is just shopping etc. Malas
Prefer kyoto instead.
Dont think will ever go back Tokyo

Edit, added supermarket fruits photo
Edit, addent mount fuji photo

Mount fuji photo from oshino hakkai.
The sky is like literally zero clouds on this day


Shinjuku so damn dirty. See also wan vomit


Ginza area more high class. Weekend road is closed from cars.
Their crowd puts KL to shame. KL crowd is like kampung compared to Tokyo


I remembered once a guy in /k/ said if motor queue, the whole road will jam
Tokyo ok je. I see all motor queue n jalan like cars.
No cilok here n there. No lane splitting.
Yet no crazy jam

Our gold zespri kiwi here is like rm25 for 5 or 4. I cant recall.
Here is like > rm10 sebiji
But opkos premium grade. And the size is like 50-100% bigger than ours





Live small crab

With Japanese yen falling
So everything are slightly cheaper there now ??

i dont find it cheap if have to convert RM > Yen.
our chicken rice here + meat is Rm12, convert to yen, 100 yen = RM3, which is 400yen.
400yen cant get u good food. mayb 2 onigiri je from famima

i thought japs are suppose to be clean one?

i think the crowd is no better in kyoto also, u c lotsa articles mentioned abt it also.

Yen fell but inflation shot up so still mahal, unless you earning SGD USD etc.

OP bag packer or tour?

Must be oversea tourist yg buat hal...

Because you went to tourist area la dei, of coz will packed like sardine. There are so much non tourists place to explore where there’s literally no ppl at all during weekdays like shinkiba yumenoshima

Tourists always went to the same place shibuya shinjuku ikebukuro meguro shimokitazawa sangenjaya then complain tokyo so packed. There are literally 23-ku in Tokyo for you to explore.

30k yen....the model is F cup

want?

owai

The tourists aren't.

stayed japan for 6 years early 2000s.
recently went Japan for holidays.

very different.
i think more than 80 percent are non japanese at tourist places.
more than 50% are non japanese at general areas in cities.

mostly from China, Taiwan, Korea.

Same with japs, throw rubbish everywhere. Some even put empty drinks at the toilet. Old jap ppl also spit on the floor while walking.

yeah. waifu pelan. so ikut jalan je. tokyo not much to escape. everywhere is shopping kinda stuff. pishang betul

true. but kyoto alot of shrine to escape to. tokyo not much.
i dont feel that crazy in kyoto compared to tokyo.
tokyo every single fugging train line is crowded.
unless early morning take train go kampung area, then the opposite is packed.

sendiri pelan and jalan

I plan to go Japan soon.

Which state or area should I go for someone that has ZERO INTEREST in shopping clothes or other sorts of craps?

I prefer to explore the environment, attraction places instead of mindless shopping buying craps that I don't need

Still cheaper than Korea. Its worth eating at jp. 700 yen get lretty good food from yoshinoya. Korea min 10k won which is close to 1000 yen. Eat tofu kimchi.

right. saw alot japs doing that.

jalan say no cycle, only push bike. but 8 out of 10 with a bike are cycling on that road

ok jer

i would say Kyoto or kansai area is better for sightseeing and cultural stuff.
Nara also nearby Kyoto which has animal, mountain and shrines.
Osaka is less crowded compared to Tokyo.

yes shinjuku just to see godzilla head only .

Well, if you want to visit mount fuji, Tokyo is definitely a must go. Kyoto is more relaxing and beautiful while Tokyo is more on shopping and high-tech stuff.

Thank you for the advice, senpai 🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏾‍♂️

Kimi wa nihongo yoi desuka?

Try go non touristy area next time, at most places seem like dead town even in Tokyo during midday and night. You can even explore their local grocery store like life, ok, aeon, maruetsu etc.

There are many free parks to explore. Like shinkiba yumenoshima, toyosu lalaport where you can walk until haruumi bashi to see both Tokyo tower and skytree. Toyosu roku chome dai ni kouen also very nice to walk around and 天王洲アイル水辺広場, umi no mori kouen etc.

So much place to escape tourists.

I can understand Japanis like 90%, speak soso but listen and read no issue. Learn more than 10 years, used to attend jap language school for few years.

Cheh these bastard tourists from useless countries like PRC and Americunt really make mess of Japan... farkers

Huh???? Mt fuij in tokyo ka?

been to japan 3x with family, only never been to tokyo (got senior citizen everytime, so tokyo wasnt in list).. been to nagoya, osaka, kyoto, fukuoka..

never liked japan. only thing i enjoyed there was universal studio. food was meh... 7 out of 10 times they are not to my liking.

i'm more of a korea guy

Sou desu neh. Idesu.

Boku wa ikimashiou later this year or early next year.

Arigatou gozaimasu, senpai! 🙆🏻‍♂️🙋🏾‍♂️

probably having easier transportation access points to Mount Fuji viewing spots (eg: Kawaguchiko etc.)

Hakone from Osaka better

Climb Mt Fuji. Consider active volcano

One of my bucket list

views from Hakone is a bit riskier cause you are overlooking several hilly areas in between. If you're in Kawaguchiko or Fujinomiya area, the distance closes significantly.

even so, volcanos in general likes to hide behind clouds or like the Japanese people say, Mount Fuji (Konohanasakuya-hime) is very shy.

i spent 2 days in Fujinomiya - no luck on the first day but it appeared on the 2nd day. i literally shocked myself awake when i opened my eyes first thing in the morning that this huge gigantic thing appear in front of my hotel room window.

it was the most majestic thing that i've ever seen in my life.

Quite near. You can go to north of the Mount Fuji by go to Kawaguchiko or go to south of Mount Fuji by go to Hakone. Either way, you have to go from Tokyo, much much convenient.

yeah actually we went to many supermarkets to see their fruit and meat price. something that we can compare and relate back home.
the only cheap and comparable ones are ichigo and banana.
others are too damn expensive.

we also went to alot of parks. ueno park / zoo there. meiji jinggu gaien, and many more.
found that alot of japanese love parks compared to malaysia.
alot of them just sit n lepak there.

we makan early morning toyosu omakase, hence reached early. by the time finish makan, all the malls also havent open. so we go else where instead.
their malls buka lewat, like 11am baru open door.

Inflation bro
5 years ago, exchange rate around 0.037 i eat one gyudon 350yen rm12.95

This year exchange rate 0.031 one gyudon need 650yen rm20.15

depend on which area..those have many club or pub ..overnight will damn dirty

u can even see some dude or amoi just overnight at the bench or even direct sleep kat floor

tapi usually after that cleaner will clean that asap.. till like almost lunch time quite clean already

and repeat



tokyo got underage luggage girl ..u can pay them for a stay (to bath and..hehehehe) but if kena hello police then can go jail as they are underage

Kyoto would be my pick

I am currently in middle of a 2 week trip ti Central Japan. My itinerary: Nagoya - Takayama - Shirarakawago - Matsumoto - Nagano - Nagoya.

Also did the Naksendo trail hike out of Nagoya.

So far so good.

nice

I'm surprised no one is suggesting Hokkaido. If you love driving and nature. Hokkaido is not bad

osaka kyoto jer

Only recommended if during summer and autumn season. We are not experienced winter driver. XD

Shinjuku the night street there memang infamous one, cleaner come clean a while later dirty again

Alot club, alot drunk tard, alot vomit

dude tokyo is so damn big, there's no way you can finish exploring it with few days.
nature wise, fujikawaguchiko and hakone still my favourite.

Dafuq go to Japan visit Tokyo go to Famimart, Aeon, Daiso etc
Here also got those. Why wasting money for something like that?

You need to go other prefectures. There is good place to do visiting. Apparently Japan got alot of nature beauty places. Visit those places instead of metropolitan city

Went to kyoto mainstream area last year: never again. I come for the serene view, nice weather, not for sea of human and long que

Just find non mainstream tourist place

hokkaido is actually underrated but the plane tix hardly have promo
and only those who know would go

those who went before keep saying hokkaido food hits different compared to tokyo...even japs themselves say that

Every year I only go akihabara, consider travel to japenis before ar, at most i take a train go nakano broadway then fast fast go back akibabara

Yeah I prefer Hokkaido. Drive around and you avoid all the tourist. Just that you need to take a domestic flight but worth it to avoid the fucking crowds

major cities in JP are flooded by CCP people

sad

can even find some random SiChuan mala shop in Japanese outskirts village

they have disrupted the business in Japan just like they are doing the same to Msia and the rest of the world

current rates are really crazy ed, last time while yen was higher at RM37-39/1000yen, things were much cheaper by few hundred yen

now inflation hits liao, so while RM30/1000yen but things in JP went up so its nullified.

for eg, last time this ramen shop i went to was 1090yen/bowl, thats 2015 era price. in 2022 when i passed by its 1300yen already

this, just walk about 1 block away from tourist spot and you see roads less packed ed. can finally breathe properly

most tourists kept repeat same thing when travelling to JP, like my friend this year again back Tokyo to see the same packed Asakusa.. SMH

kek tells me you know nothing abt Japan current state

youll be surprised how many are locals throwing rubbish around rekting their own infra. esp Shinjuku area like OP posted, all these japs doing nothing but drinking and loitering on streets

and ironically when i was in a ski town, the rowdy ones are drunk angmo making noise around in town. the PRC chinese all hiding inside their rooms minding their business kek

the thing most people dont know is that mountains in general for the best clearest view, you need it see it during early mornings (sunrise time). due to shift in temperature as the day gets warmer the winds shift too, causing the clouds to appear and block the view. on the rare occasions the shift isnt drastic, it stays clear longer

seen many times when i hike up mountains, Rinjani, Mt K etc all same pattern

Ayam plan to go there this year..

Wanna ask if RM6k per person enough for 1 week? Include flight, hotel and food food. Excluding ayam japan of course

many typical asian tourists enjoy taking pictures and shopping, especially in the kansai region. however, if you're passionate about tech, gaming, idols, and events, tokyo is the ultimate destination.

Enugh if plan to fly eat stay cheap and walk

Japmoi?

While i was there last year, almost all Europeans and Americunts were worst than animals in Japan. They were acting as if they were overloads, disregarding local rules and basically doing what they wanted. they walked as if they owned the whole road and expected everyone to give way to them, carrying their huge funeral backpacks into crowded trains.

with that being said, some Asians weren't any better as i saw a community of at least 5/6 individual Muslim groups having picnics next to the river banks around the Togetsukyo Bridge area and they just basically up and left after they are done leaving behind the plastic bags, utensils and their trash.

PRCs are just being rude, loud and obnoxious, their usual self but other than that, they are quite orderly.

yeap, viewing Mount Fuji in the wee hours of the morning is the best time - sharing some of the pictures i had while i was there.



i was there last late October/early November which is supposed to be Autumn but it go delayed so no snow cap and the red maple leaves hasn't transformed completely yet but it was still nice. strangely enough, Mount Fuji was visible for me the the entire day.

depends on your budget, if you want economical then can but if you want to fly commercial (ANA, JAL etc) then probably not because flight ticket itself will costs you around RM3,000.00 already.

then again, to travel comfortably even on a budget - prepare at least RM8,000.00 cause transportation/accommodation CAN weigh you down. I spent close to RM12,000.00 for 10 days travelling between Tokyo, Shizuoka and Kyoto.

mana drill of japmoi? mana drill of japmoi wearing maid? mana upskirt drill of japmoi?


inbe4
no piap japmoi = never go japan
no go sax shop = never go japan

contrary to popular beliefs, alot of soaplands do not entertain foreigners.

maid cafes are aplenty in Akihabara, Shinjuku and Kabukicho but those are traps - if you so much make eye contact/entertain their street peddlers - you will get dragged in to their shop. they will talk to you, feed you in cute outfit and then charge you RM60.00 for a cup of orange juice.

if you don't pay up or make a fuss, probably the Yakuzas will come and rough you up.

oh boy, you've never visited Famima if you have never went to theirs in Japan and their AEON is next level. I went and bought a luggage bag from them because mine broke half way and i tell you, the level of attentiveness they gave you is next level.

you try and buy a bag from the AEON here and see, it is as if you owe them money and it's a favor that they are selling the bag to you.

did you followed a tour?

i went to some of the main stream areas but at times where tour guides have left and the crowds are bearable



some of the best views in the world, i'd die with regret not seeing this in person. now i have none.

This post has been edited by shaniandras2787: Apr 28 2025, 02:53 PM

Some soaplands in ikebukuro serve foreigners but the extra “foreigners” fees can be very high, also need to depends whether the girl wants to accept you or not. I asked the manager outside the shop before.

Cityheaven can check everything if interested

i'd pay if i get someone like Niko Kawagoe

Even woman train coach also full of men

My recommend cities west of Osaka like Himeji, Okayama, Hiroshima, Tottori and Izumo. All in JR west train coverage.

I can be a vegetarian if i stay in Hokkaido. Their vegetables are the best. Potato, pumpkin, onion, mushroom, corn, tomato all of these are nothing like what we have been eating. Cannot even get the same taste in other parts of Japan.

No i diy trip

My only regret is i come abit too early for autumn, or can say autumn is abit late last year.

this year?

Tokyo of cos packed laa.....but convenient naik train easy go around sight seeing, just that morning n evening train really packed and train station also macam sarang semut with everyone rushing.

Daiso here sell RM5.9, there 100 yen = RM3 only. (+10% tax)

Last year, nov

Fixed

Yes, last year's autumn was delayed.

I went there late October / early November thinking i was able to catch the autumn colors but there was none. only a little splash of red here and there. weather was chilly though but I know up north (Hokkaido) were in better colors.

Yes, early to mid nov still weather above around 15 degree, no need to wear jacket

Late October still mid of autumn. If you want to see autumn leaf, better go during late November or early December. However, these periods are the peak tourist season though.

Where is the JAV review ?

Go visit the outskirt area

Such as Nagano, Yamagata, Matsumoto, Nikko, Kawaguchiko, Aomori etc

Tokyo is good for first timer to Japan, but the real gem is at the outskirt areas in my opinion

Most of these areas are reachable with the public transport, but can be a bit frightening if one have not got used to how Japan rail works, just put in some effort to research, part of the experience as well

This post has been edited by NicJolin: Apr 28 2025, 03:47 PM

yeap, i've booked my flight for 23/11/2025 to 6/12/2025.

if i still don't get to see Autumn leaves then i give up

spit je..i saw quite a few times japanese apek pee into the bushes, take off pant at a street and berak

japan and dirty rubbish??? impossibru!!!

Good luck to you. I wish I could go again too.🥲

Indeed.

That one no choice maybe cannot tahan dy kek

Tokpek, should compare with income.

I traveled Hokkaido/Osaka/Kyushu so far. The latter two is with kids.

If u go with kids i highly recommend Kyushu. Can rent a car travel everywhere u want. A lot easier to travel around. Public transport in Japan especially with kids not so easy, and expensive if u have more than 1 kid.

how much to rent car? and how you manage parking and petrol? need intl lisen? stay airbnb?

>inb4 quadcube topkek
Nearlee

yah so ultimately assholes exist regardless race haiz, alot of them think can disregard rules under pretext of being foreigner

as for the locals, theyre just always been like that

the ones like us who are behaving are stigmatised

If you go to Japan just for Daiso then your priority is so damn messed up

i rented toyota Noah. 7 days cost about 130000yen total.

Need international license. Very important. Do not forget to bring, Japanese culture very rigid they wont give u the car if u cannot show the original copy.

Driving there easy level la compared to Malaysian traffic. The road sign very clear, it's like the Japanese very ultra worried u get lost. They even draw the road nicely so u know which lane to follow so u wouldnt have the sudden need to change lane. Malaysia punya traffic really love to encourage ppl to jump lane, last minute turn/exit. The road layout there super well planned and the person who planned it actually drive in the town. Really different than Malaysia where the person who design it macam tak pernah drive on that road ever. Japanese driver also very chill most of the time, always maintain safe distance even if u drive well below speed limit. In Malaysia u drive how fast also u still got ppl cucuk ur backside pressure u to go even faster or they overtake u show their lanciao face beside u before speeding away.

All in all driving in Japan damn easy. The only hard part is parking but only in the city. if u travel outskirt this is non issue. Petrol pump same like Malaysia self service.

Airbnb or hotel more or less the same. I book hotel cos traveling kids i do not want to have another potential headache dealing with house owner and all. And i LOVE staying in hotspring area.

i mean, certain things are cheaper over there.

yeap, tak kira nusa, bangsa atau negara. if there are humans, arseholes exists within them. the difference is that the ratio of arseholes are much higher for certain demographics, their feeling of entitlement is off the charts.

objectively, they cannot be blamed because probably leaving a mess is normal in their home country and so they brought it to other countries like Japan which is famously known for their strict discipline and this is something Westerners (and some Asians) can never understand.

even in Malaysia, there are still people who dine in fast food restaurants but don't clean up after themselves because they feel like they already paid for the meal so someone must clean up after them. this is anarchy to Japanese.

what's chaos to a fly caught in a spider web is normal to the spider.

Jesus thats almost rm4k.
But one thing i notice different from MY.
Is that once the go straight line turn red. Then the pusing lane turn green.
But pusing lane is red light, opposite no cars, also they pusing.
This part i konpiused.
Also their pusing "stop" line is much further infront compared to ours. Is like pusing stop line in the middle of our yellow box
