Went to Yokohama during weekends eh? Nice

Accidently to Yokohama...I didnt realise that I already in the PORT area...no wonder damn cold of blowing sea wind duh!

i went to yokohama last month, and incidentally there was a deepavali fair at one of the parks. managed to eat some tosai but no roti canai though

The pachinko one is not taken by me. I took some pics outside but don't dare go inside and take. It's some of my friends who actually went in and took. hahaha Maybe naive is a good thing.
That pachinko was taken in Susukino.

Been reading through the whole thread. My head's spinning. So a quick question to those in Japan.

I might be in Japan for about 12 days in August next year (2009), and from what I understand, GSM phones don't work in Japan. 3G does, and that is fine as my phone supports 3G fine. The thing is, roaming is horrendously expensive, and I need to be contactable, as I will be traveling with a partner.

Now the thing is, normally when I go abroad, I always pick up a local SIM card for a local number. But from what I understand, that is not possible in Japan, am I right?

So short for forking out 600 yen A DAY for a rental phone (not counting any call charges!), is it possible to get a local Japanese number like Malaysia, where you rock up to a shop and buy a SIM card?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Haya...August 2009 still long to go we cant expect anything yet nor latest promo...currently, IF you talk about Tokyo area of even of prepaid phone is SOLD OUT of Softbank. To buy a simcard you must buy together with the phone. Even your phone is 3G, YES if unlock and it can be used for incoming and outgoing call ONLY because its NOT supported phone settings for SMS and MMS, most ppl here using MMS/mobile email.
Thats my simple explanation (just wait lor, always surf with updaye of Softbank, AU and Doomo promo for the prepaid) as I told you before the guys selling prepaid phone for 25,000yen! plug and play BUT if you buy on any dealers you still need a passport for the registration..
cheers

hopefully this helps

SOFTBANK supports SMS no? and its possible to get a simcard without a phone.

to the guy going kyoto, u should try the green tea ice cream near the national theatre/kabuki or sth like tht at karasuma. omiyage is the standard stuff, just different shapes, the traingle mochi thingy seems popular(cant remember name)

you mean otabe? triangle with red bean paste inside? i think i've tried it somewhere before. didn't know it was famous in kyoto

anyway, today's Fuji-san:

sugar-frosted

currently using Postpaid and prepaid softbank...YES its support SMS(softbank to softbank)and other network ONLY mobile email!
last 2 weeks my frenz from Germany the luckiest ever in Tokyo to get a last unit in Akihabara the prepaid softbank...as she search whole over internet she still cant find in Tokyo unless sub burbs in Japan may be...she bought a prepaid phone and its must with phone..I just ask 'CANT BUY THE SIM ONLY?' she replied "NO,why?"
