Sambung dari entri sebelum ini. Masih malas juga jadi kali ini copy paste dari ig pula. Copy paste caption sekali ok. Haha. Maafkan saya para pembaca. Post kali ini mungkin terperinci sikit lah kot tambahan sis letak gambar juga. Kalau ad info berulang pun terimalah seadanya ya. Hope you enjoy it!
Day 0 : KUL - NRT
Pilih seat belah kiri untuk dapatkan view Fuji. Tapi time pergi tak nampak apa. Kabus mungkin. Bukan rezeki.
Day 1 : Shinjuku - Shibuya - Harajuku
Sampai je Narita Airport kami terus office JR untuk beli pass tapi sebab ramai depa suggest untuk beli di Shinjuku ja. Jadi kami terus ke airbnb letak barang buat apa-apa yang patut dan decide untuk cari proper meal. Terus activate 48 hours subway pass. Yang ni kalau kita activate pukul 10 pg, akan valid sampai 10 pg 48 jam berikutnya. Dia ikut waktu bukan hari.
Godzilla's Head, Shinjuku.
.
Not far from Coco Curry Halal Ichibanya and Masjid Al-Ikhlas. We arrived at different Coco Curry then we realized it's not halal (yellow color signboard/banner) as they mentioned in fb group Road to Japan that the halal one was green in color. Do join that group for more info on Japan k. Thanks @hangdhamin for recommending RTJ. Haha
Masjid Al-Ikhlas tricky juga nak cari sebab letaknya di celah-celah lorong kecil.
Coco Curry pula tempatnya kena turun di bahagian basement lebih kurang. Kedua-dua tempat ni tak jauh antara satu sama lain.
Oh kedai yang ada penguin tax free tu memang berhantu. Hati-hati jika masuk membeli. Takut tak jumpa jalan keluar sebab rambang mata nak beli semua.

Selesai beli Tokyo Wide Pass dan reserved seat semua, haruslah kami meneruskan langkah ke tempat yang free. Haha. Located in Shinjuku, don't forget to pay a visit to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to get a glimpse of Tokyo. Free entrance to 45th floor for both South and North Tower.
Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo
The busiest view taken from indoor walkway of Shibuya Station. Kalau tak nak tengok dari sini boleh tengok dari Starbucks juga. Tapi dengarnya bercinta juga nak dapat seat tepi tingkap.
.
Ada new attraction berdekatan sini iaitu Shibuya Scramble Square. Entrance fee dalam 1000 yen kot. Ke 2000 yen. Nanti check lah ek. Try p time matahari terbenam serius lawa. Kami kedekut jadi tak pergi pastu rasa menyesal. Hahaha.
Dekat dengan crossing ni ada Hachiko Statue. Bolehlah bergambar juga.
The Old Harajuku Station will be demolished as the new building is expected to open in time for Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. If you plan to go for shopping at Takeshita Street and visit nearby shrine/temple, do not forget to come here too k.
Hari kedua ni start lambat sikit sebab kami ke stesen Maihama dulu. Ingatkan boleh ambil tiket Disneysea sehari lebih awal dengan harapan masa hari kejadian boleh terus masuk. Tapi tak boleh. Kena ambil pada hari yang sama.
Pulang dengan hampa lantas kami playing tourist at Sensoji Temple. Near to Nakamise Shopping Street and Kaminarimon Gate. Time ni hujan jadi mood sis cm spoil sikit lol. Kedai-kedai depan temple tu quite menarik tapi sebab ramai orang sis tak jenguk pun.
Spicy Miso in Naritaya Halal Asakusa nearby. Chicken Bowl pun sedap. They even had prayer space that can accommodate one person at one time too!
Ni pun lokasi shopping kegemaran rakyat Malaysia iaitu Ameyoko Street, Ueno. Depan kedai Chicken Man ni ad jual sovenir murah depa kata.
Selalu kat Ueno ni orang pakat cari kasut-kasut berjenama. Depa juai macam tu je k tepi jalan. Sian adik sis tak jumpa kasut yang diidamkan.

Owh, dekat dalam Ueno station ada Hard Rock Shop kalau nak cari sovenir k. Kalau datang dengan anak-anak boleh singgah Ueno Zoo. Price quite reasonable tak silap.
Akihabara Electronic Town. Shopping place lagi. If you are looking for halal bento, there is one 7 eleven branch at this street that offers the product. Dari Ueno kami jalan kaki ja p sini. Kalau tak minat electronic boleh skip ja. Kami cari Muji sebab kami dah p Muji di Ueno tapi kami tak jumpa barang yang dicari. Hahaha.
The iconic Tokyo Tower.
.
We explored most attraction places using Tokyo Subway Pass 48 hours that costs us around 1,200 yen per card. Kinda useful for first timer as you have unlimited usage of Tokyo subway during that period of time and thanks to google maps, we survived the tokyo subway lines. Do expect to do lots of walking with neverending stairs as the subway station mostly located underground.

Korang boleh tengok juga Tokyo Tower ni dari Roppongi Hills ataupun taman berdekatan. Boleh google spot2 menarik untuk view Tokyo Tower yang mengancam k.
Day 3 : Disneysea and Odaiba
Hello Disneysea! We chose Disneysea instead of Disneyland because it's the only one in the world plus the rides more suitable for adults they said. Haha I don't know lah. Not so many roller coaster ride but we managed to try all the rides that required fast pass except Raging Spirits sebab tutup and Nemo sebab tak sempat. Satu je fast pass dapat collect sebab fast pass lain banyak dah habis jadi beratur lah macam biasa.
Rides yang wajib cuba adalah Tower of Terror. Barisan panjang ok.
.
Where to pray?
Just go to the entrance and they will show you the quiet room outside the park. They'll put stamp on your hand and then you can enter back the park after that. There was an area outside the quiet room if you wish to had your bekal or kembara meals too.

We missed the Gundam Show because after we performed our prayer, we went back inside the park and queuing up to two hours for new ride Soaring : Fantastic Flight in Disneysea.
.
Since it's already dark when we arrived here, hence the Gundam picture from the back thanks to the lighting from the LED advertisement board 😂.
.
Other nearby attractions - Rainbow Bridge, Fuji TV Building and unfortunately Statue of Liberty was under renovation. Oh kalau berminat dengan art boleh try Teamlab Borderless. Adik sorang nak pergi tapi lagi dua orang ni tak berminat jadi skip. haha.

Day 4 : Gala Yuzawa and Giant Ghibli's Clock
En route to Gala Yuzawa. Kami naik dari Ueno Station sebab dekat lagi dari airbnb.
Why Gala Yuzawa?
.
Because little sister (not so little btw) wants to play in the snow. TWP and JR Pass holder can get discounted price for activities.
.
Costs us 3,300 yen/pax for playing in the snow package - include return gondola ride, gloves, boots and sled rental.
.
Locker rental : 1000 yen
.
There are other activities too such as snow mobile, kanjiki, ski for beginner etc. As long you have enough money no need to worry 😂

Bell of Love Observatory Deck.
.
Add another 1000 yen per pax, and you can have return skylift ride to reach here.
.
So basically, from shinkasen station - choose the package you want at the counter (main building), take gondola to the base lah kot lebih kurang. Main activities (snow mobile, kanjiki, sledding etc) mostly dekat sini. If you wish to go to the upper level, take skylift pula. Usually skylift is for skier and snowboarder, but they have entrance for non skier too.
.
Kesimpulan, pilih pakej siap-siap dari bawah sebab sampai atas tak dapat add on dah.

The skylift ride from observatory deck to the base (sukati je bagi nama) 😂. Ni jenis kaki bergantung itu.
Gondola ride from the base to the main building where the shinkasen station located. Ni style kereta kabel.
.
The staff allowed us to pray at family changing room (level 3F) in the main building. No toilet there, therefore take wudhu beforehand or else just bring your own water spray k.
.
Enjoy the view!

We want to try our luck buying the Ghibli Museum ticket in Tokyo, for the price there much more cheaper. Of course no luck on our side as people usually bought the ticket one month earlier besides the slot per day is limited. So we went to Giant Ghibli's Clock instead to watch the show. Ada waktu-waktu juga show dia. Boleh google ya jika berminat.
Tricky juga nak cari jam ni sebab melekat pada bangunan gitu. Pusing-pusing juga cari. Tak silap kalau jalan dari atas nampak Family Mart dengan Tully's Cafe kat bawah, kat bangunan tulah terletaknya jam tersebut. Kena naik eskalator baru sampai di tempat yang dituju.
Tokyo Skytree.
.
Bahaya tempat ni sebab ada Ghibli Studios merchandise store kat sini. We don't mind not going up to the observatory since we were happy to spend our time (and money too) here 🙊.

Day 5 : Kawaguchiko
Konnichiwa Kawaguchiko.
.
Took us two hours train ride from Shinjuku Station and arrived here around noon. Our journey still covered by TWP since we can use it 3 consecutive days.
.
Straight away went to our accommodation though we can put our backpack first in the locker but actually it will be better to find the hostel first. Dah gelap nanti lagi susah nak cari gitu. Jalan pun licin.

How to get around?
.
You can take omni bus that covered three main lines (blue, red and green). The price was 1500 yen/pax and valid for two days for all lines. You can find the ticket counter inside the Kawaguchiko station and if you don't want to buy the pass, you can still ride the bus but have to pay the normal fare based on where you get on and get off.
.
We planned to cover the blue line (paling jauh) on the day we arrived but kinda confusing so we spent most of our time in the bus. Sedikit rugi dan ralat juga but the view still lumayan kan (pujuk hati).

Day 6 : Kawaguchiko
Breakfast with Fuji View😍 not to mention the view from rooftop is magnificient too.
.
We booked this place through booking.com Don't forget to use shopback as well. They offered tatami style bedroom and do expect to do lots of walking k as the place located almost 1.5km from Kawaguchiko Station.
.
We had an amazing stay here. The kitchen and common room is spacious with free brewed coffee every morning. The staff even allowed us a room to pray before check in even after we checked out. Thank you @kshousefujiview for having us!

Start the day by taking train from Kawaguchiko station to Shimoyoshida station, walked around 10 minutes and add another 10-15 minutes hiking with total of 400 steps to reach the pagoda.
.
Other than train, you can also ride Mt Fuji World Heritage Loop bus to reach the nearest stop. Almost the same like omni bus but the price (1,050 yen for adult) and coverage area is a bit different. One of the stop is Oshino Hakkai. Still, everything depends on your itinerary and places of interests too.

Just so you know, Fujikyu or Fuji-Q Highland's roller coaster have been listed in the Guinness World of Records.
.
There were four main roller coasters here and since we have limited time, we chose the least thrilled kot among them but still it can accelerate up to 180km/hour! Gila laju masa launching but worth sangat because nothing can beats the world's largest loop with Fuji view before your eyes!
.
Free entrance to the park. Just go to the counter and they'll give you the entrance ticket.
.
You can buy one day pass or you can also pay per ride. For Dodonpa, the one that we tried costs us 1500 yen per ride. If you have enough time you can spend one whole day here. The park itselt quite big with Naruto themed, Thomas Land and many others attraction too.
.
Fujikyu Highland.

Next wishlist : the steepest roller coaster maybe

From Fujikyu, we went back to Kawaguchiko. Actually omni bus blue line lalu je dekat Fujikyu tapi sebab timing tak kena jadi kami balik naik train sahaja dan sambung balik naik omni bus dari Kawaguchiko.
.
This time we took green line to stop no 48 - Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba.
.
We pay a visit to this stall yang famous juga among Malaysian. Ayam goreng dia sedap, epal pun manis. Uncle ni pun baik sangat siap bawa pergi kaunter tiket, bagi free tea and coklat masa kami datang dan masa kami tunggu bas nak balik.
.
Ada prayer room juga berdekatan jadi tiada halangan untuk menunaikan kewajipan dan mencari makanan yang halal.

Miyagawa Morning Market.

We came here twice to find Takayama Pudding but the seller tak buka kedai on the first morning and when we came the next day, his shop has not opened yet 😂. There were many pudding shops too but they were not the one that we were looking for. Not our rizq this time. End up we ate pudding Meiji je. Tu pun susah juga nak jumpa kat convenience store.

Patut gerak tengah hari tapi tapi kami cancel tiket lama dan beli tiket baru gerak pukul 9 pagi. At least sampai Osaka cerah sikit tak meraban nak cari airbnb gitu. Kami ambil Nouhi Bus. Stesennya memang walking distance je dari penginapan kami di Takayama. Sampai di Osaka, kami turun di Namba, dari sana naik train ja p airbnb kami.
Shinsekai is the place to experience the Osaka of old, and Tsutenkaku Tower is the defining landmark of the area (Credit to JNTO).
.
Sebenarnya jalan-jalan cari Daiso dan Don Quijote, last-last sampai sini since tak jauh mana pun jalan kaki dari airbnb.
.
Ada observation deck kat atas tapi kami tak naik. 500 yen tak silap entrance fee tapi kalau ada Osaka Amazing Pass (OAP), it's free, tapi kena tengok timing juga tak silap kami. Kami study juga pasal OAP tapi end up tak pakai sebab pass tinggal kt airbnb Tokyo haha. Dah contact host pun tak jumpa.

Day 10 : Universal Studios Japan
Spend one whole day in Universal Studios Japan! Glad that we get to try those famous rides - Hollywood Dream - The Ride, The Flying Dinosour and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Not once but twice! Janggal kejap dengar Harry Potter cakap Jepun 😂. Ada juga ride yang tutup but it's ok. Attack of Titan is amazing too! Berbaloi juga beratur dekat 90 minit rasanya. Jangan lupa tengok show kat Hogwarts. Siriusly magical as always.
.
Where to pray?
Just go to guest services and in our case they allowed us to use the room next door. Muslim friendly menu also available outside the park at Red Lobster Restaurant. Dekat luar USJ ni pun ada Hard Rock Shop.
.
Operating hours differ by date. Ticket price pun. Yang penting fix kan tarikh untuk pergi gitu.

Day 11 : Day trip to Kyoto
Hari ini kami activate 2 Days Kansai Thru Pass, KTP (4,400 yen per pax). Boleh guna semua line kecuali JR. Sesetengah bas line pun termasuk dalam coverage. Yang seronok sebab tak semestinya guna 2 hari berturut-turut. Nak activate hari ini dan hari ke 2 bulan depannya pun boleh asalkan dalam tempoh setahun.
.
Ada juga pass yang murah seperti Hankyu Tourist Pass (700 yen untuk one day) tapi limited kepada Hankyu/Keihan line saja. Sebab kami nak hassle free taknak rigid kat satu line ja, lagipun penginapan kami dekat dengan subway juga, kami ambil KTP saja lagipun KTP ni cover perjalanan sampai ke airport.
.
Apa-apa pun pemilihan pass bergantung kepada itinerari dan juga tempat penginapan. Tak semestinya kena ambil pass. Guna IC card atau beli tiket kat mesin pun boleh. You do the math k. Haha. Rasa berulang kali dah sis guna ayat ni.

Ni gambar dekat belah atas sikit.
Sebenarnya tempat ini boleh singgah otw balik ke Osaka tapi sebab kami nak berlama-lamaan di Kyoto, kami p lah sini dulu. Jadi balik nanti tak yah singgah mana-mana dah tinggal tidur ja dalam train menuju destinasi 😂
.
Kalau rajin boleh hiking ke gunung dengan melalui shrine kecil yang berjarak 4 kilometer (2.5 mi) dan mengambil kira-kira 2 jam berjalan kaki. Kalau tak rajin boleh decide nak jalan sampai mana na.

Fushimi Inari Shrine terkenal dengan 10,000 gerbang tetapi sebenarnya terdapat lebih 32,000 gerbang dan sub-gerbang yang disebut "torii" dalam bahasa Jepun (credit info to Elaine Tan)

Sorry gambar blur sikit. Tapi view dari atas memang menawan. Cuma memang kena gigih berjalan. Almost 2km kot dari stesen subway terdekat kalau tak silap. Mendaki perjalanannya yang pasti. Tapi banyak kedai menarik. Poskad pun kami beli kat sini ja.
Starbucks Tatami. .
Pelik kenapa ramai sangat bergambar di sini ada Starbucks rupanya. Macam biasa kami lalu je. Haha.
.
Dekat-dekat sini ada kedai makan halal Curry Club Ruu. Kami tak singgah sebab kami nak cari ramen jadi sanggup lah jalan jauh sikit untuk ke Naritaya Halal Ramen, Kyoto. Ada prayer room di kedua-dua kedai ini. Bergantung pada tekak dan selera untuk makan di mana ya.

Kalau route yang elok atau itinerari yang cantik sikit, dari Kiyomizudera tadi boleh lajak terus ke sini. Tapi kami buat kerja banyak kali p bandar dulu makan-makan ramen baru patah sini balik bakar lemak.

Yasaka Pagoda, the last remnant of Hokanji Temple, is one of the most visible and recognizable landmarks in the Higashiyama District - a great place to experience traditional old Kyoto.

Day 12 : Osaka
One of the best way to enjoy Osaka is by using Osaka Amazing Pass (OAP). It is a set of one card pass (unlimited times of rides for 1 day or 2 days) with barcode for entering free facilities for about 40 tourist spots input on it.
.
We bought one day OAP from Klook but we left it in Tokyo so no pass for today 😂
.
So we decided to start late, prioritize our needs (lol) and try to find attractions with free entrance. Since one day OAP costs around 2700 yen, we will be happy if our costs for today cheaper than that. Takdak lah ralat sangat takdak pass.

We bought one day OAP from Klook but we left it in Tokyo so no pass for today 😂
.
So we decided to start late, prioritize our needs (lol) and try to find attractions with free entrance. Since one day OAP costs around 2700 yen, we will be happy if our costs for today cheaper than that. Takdak lah ralat sangat takdak pass.

Osaka Castle, or “Osaka-jo” in Japanese, is certainly one of the most famous landmarks in Japan, and for good reason. This five-story castle is one of the most visually spectacular creations in the country, with a history that dates back almost 450 years!

Plum (ume) blossoms. Not cherry (sakura) blossoms.
.
The plum is associated with the start of spring, because plum blossoms are some of the first blossoms to open during the year. In most areas of Japan, including Tokyo, they typically flower in February and March. The event is celebrated with plum festivals (ume matsuri) in public parks, shrines and temples across the country (japan-guide.com)

Night view from the Ferris Wheel.

One of Umeda’s best known landmarks, HEP FIVE is essentially a shopping mall that just happens to have a huge red Ferris wheel attached to its roof. So we start the ride from level 7 actually 😂. Senyap memasing sebab slow2 ja gerak kat tempat tinggi gayat juga diri ini. Nak pindah2 tempat pun hati2.

Day 13 : Kobe and going back home
Hello Kobe.
The Tetsujin 28 Statue in Kobe is an amazing public sculpture and monument symbolizing the rebirth of the city of Kobe after the Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. Finished in 2009, this statue is located in Wakamatsu Park close to Shin-Nagata station on the JR Kobe Line. Standing at an impressive 18 meters high, the statue is one of many life sized giant robot works across Japan, including the Gundam in Odaiba, Tokyo. The Tetsujin robot was originally created in the 1960's by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, a manga artist born in Kobe (en.japantravel.com)

Alhamdulillah for the opportunity to visit and pray at Japan's first and oldest mosque. You can reach here by using Kobe Loop Bus or you can walk (1-2km) from the nearest train station.
.
Since the establishment, this mosque had survived major historical events - confistication by Imperial Japanese Navy (1943), bombing of Kobe in World War II (1945) and Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (1995) - source Halal Media Japan.

Sending postcards from Japan will cost you 100 yen for postcard (price may differ depends on design and material) and 70 yen for stamp.
.
You can buy stamp from convenience store actually. Do mention the exact value of the stamp. Since we did not know the costs and they also got confused when you mentioned for international bla bla, we were glad to find one post office, asked them the price and then voila.
