just wondering, anyone went to mount fuji b4? planning to climb it mid next year

Yeah bro, Firedauz went before...please browse for the previous thread regarding Mt Fuji...( sowi I cant remember which pages)

Haha.. tapi 'Kucing Hitam' kat airport tu ada sikit ubah rule... Last I recall, when you want to send your luggage back to the airport - sometimes you gotta send like 1 or sometimes even 2 days in advance of your departure date; so if your luggage contains all your clothes... then quite inconvenient to send it in advance kan?

Hi all, just wanna ask if it snows in Tokyo? And what temperature should i be expecting end-January?

It snows but very rarely. Like perhaps just once or twice over the entire winter season and not a lot.
End of January will be cold so expect single digit temperature (anywhere from high of 8-9'C to about 0'C at night) - as far as I can remember.

wanna ask, how hot is tokyo during end july-mid august?

cuz according to most website thats the best time to climb mount fuji but i dont really want to go shopping around tokyo under hot sun...

is it possible to apply japan-visa w/o having ticket/itinerary info and accommodation yet?
im indeed running out of time.
oh C75 cosplayan~

yes la... now can apply visa with just your planned itinerary . no need confirmed ticket and hotel....


on yen currency, 1 year ago (around Sept) it was around 100Yen = RM2.90.

50kYEN = RM1500

now

50kYEN = RM2000 hopefully it would go down a bit by march.

Imagine Malaysia's weather with lesser humidity... there are some days that it gets a bit hotter but then it's nothing that us Malaysians aren't used to already.

PsyCHZZZ,

thanks for the tip! it is definitely cheaper and TOTALLY worth buying.
I used to take limited express (Keisei) from Narita to Ueno around 1100JPY, since N'EX is usually around 3000JPY.
but, with this package, N'EX is just 1500Y. CHEAPPPPP!

Tanoshi should add in this info at the main page as well.

does this cards have expiry? cos my NTT phone card seemed like not expired even after 2years.

I think the Suica card has like 10-years validity or something... and if you don't have a bottle of water with you... no sweat - there's like vending machines EVERYWHERE!

YESS....vending machine is everywhere, but buying 5 bottle of POCARI SWEAT/day can burn a serious hole in your pocket.

150JPY x 5 = 750JPY = RM30 a day for drink. 5 days? there's a lot of things u can buy with that amount of money.

for me, i'd brought air masak from hotel (sakura hotel ikebukuro has in-room water heating pad). every little saving is worth it.

during winter, my fav would be Van Houten hot cocoa miruku....

as for summer , melon sodaaaa!

if you love pocari sweat or other sports drinks, you can buy the powder form and just add water. usually 1 packet is less than 100yen and can make 1 litre of drink. if you dont mind the diluted taste, you can top up to 1.5 litre bottle

hmm pocari sweat, i often drink it at singapore. should be the same taste at japan right?

might be good idea dilute my own and bring to fuji also

wooot....visa has been approved. japan here i come.

but the yen is killing me right now. hopefully it goes down after new year.

Congrats!!

yup...The YEN is really gila now....some sources told me the YEN will come down after their holiday (1/1/09). Dunno true or not la...hehehe

if you're in the kyoto area and you're interested in manga, you can visit the international manga museum:
http://www.kyotomm.com/english/index.html

inside there's shelves full of manga that you can read (if you can read japanese but mostly old titles. there's some samples of manga translated into other languages too, but no bm version. there's a small gift shop selling some manga/anime related goods.
