@projectgora - How about Onitsuka, sis?  Mura din ba doon?  We'll be in Osaka November.

question mga sis, for 1k USD, saan bank advisable papalit sa yen?  TIA

[itsrizzi]

hello, anyone who applied Japan Visa from June 01 up to today?  How's the issuance sa Pilipinas? Na-aapprove or nadedeny? Nagkakahigpitan ba dyan?

[anniegurl]

Onitsuka is a little bit cheaper in japan meron around 8k yen lang. if shopping lang ng uniqlo h&m f21 ok sa osaka pero if branded mas ok sa tokyo. I like osaka better kasi i feel its much laid back. Sa tokyo parang nakaka pagod ang busy masyado.

[khaleesiCersei]

Hi mga sis. Ang init ngayon dito sa japan. Pero enjoy pa rin. I super love it here. Enjoy mag shopping sa osaka kasi it's cheaper kesa sa tokyo. Lalo na sa rinku town sports depo and sa outlet. Pero ang chocolates like kitkat, mas mura sa tokyo. Ang sarap sumakay sa mga trains nila, tsaka hindi naman ganon ka complicated kasi you can always ask around tsaka may  information naman, mababait sila. They will really try to help you out kahit hindi sila marunong mag english. I suggest may mga pictures kayo papakita or maps para mas madali. Kahit sa mga shops pakita nyo na lang yung picture.

Hello i need your opinion fellow travelers. We will be in japan on January and the itinerary includes Takayama and Shirakawa. Now what would you suggest a better option in going there considering we have kids and luggage in tow by bus ba or train..Kasi when i checked the train you need to tansfer ata while the bus direct na but yun nga lang baka medyo masikip and matagal?
Thank you.any suggestion is of big help

I just got mine this month. Generally, no issue naman. It's best to apply these days since non peak - mejo kunti ang pila sa mga accredited travel agencies.

Binabalik po ba mga docs after ng result ng Japan Visa application? Like yung birth certificate and itr?

[travelling_daisy]

^ Sis, they don't. Birth certificate should be original (PSA copy) but the ITR, photocopy lang naman ang kinukuha.

[forumera]

^thanks, hays can"t find my itr, baka hindi na ako ulit bigyan ng HR namin, pwede ba makakuha sa BIR?

Any recom for wifi router rental, pick up in Nagoya/Chubu airport then return in Narita airport? Flytpack is fully booked for October

[travelling_daisy]

We rented thru Global Advanced Communications (GAC) before.  We had the unit delivered to our hotel in Tokyo then we returned it via our hotel concierge in Osaka. Unit comes with a prepaid return envelope, then you can drop it at any mail box in Japan (meron sa airports, before you check-in) 

We'll be using GAC again this December when we go to Sapporo.

[mrs. sweet]

^prebook online din yan? may nakita ako ninja, pupuru, etc. same concepts

[travelling_daisy]

^Yup, pre-booked online. Service is okay naman. We haven't encountered any problems with the connection all through out.

[mrs. sweet]

^thanks sis!

[fruGalatte]

If hinde kayo makapagpabook ng wifi in advance, I believe meron dn available sa airport.
If not mobile wifi, pretty sure meron prepaid sim card with internet data.
My sister was able to buy nung nagbakasyon cla here.

[ataypool]

Better to rent the pocket wifi, mas mabilis pa than the hotels? connection.

[cynth_pink00]

I bought SIM 2 Fly. It's just 850 for a week na.

[forumera]

^san mo nabili exactly sis? Gusto ko din sim with data lang
