Berjumpa kembali..untuk post penutup trip ke Jepun iaitu itinerary!Yeayy🕺💃
Sebelum tu,let us clarify..walaupun 7 hari..trip sebenar cuma 5 full days je - sebab hari pertama kami sampai tengahari dan tiada aktiviti pada hari terakhir (departure day).
Seperti ramai orang,kami pun bercita-cita untuk menjejakkan kaki ke Jepun.Kami confident sebab ramai je Malaysian yang travel sendiri (without agent) ke negara ini.Thankfully,resources and references for visiting Japan are incredibly plentiful.
Pemilihan destinasi lawatan
As the first-timers,we had been considering - which cities in Japan would we like to explore first?Tokyo,Kyoto,Osaka,Mt Fuji,Nara,Hokkaido or Sapporo?These are most iconic destinations most Malaysian travellers would go.
Last-last,kami plan untuk visit Tokyo & Osaka.Tokyo dan Osaka..atau Tokyo je,atau Osaka je?🤔
Selepas kaji selidik..heart-to-heart discussion dan 'bedah siasat' laki bini..kami putuskan Tokyo je lah.🤣🤣Plan 'neighbouring cities' tu muncul bila kami decide nak drive kat Jepun.
Kiranya overview trip Jepun 2025 kami adalah seperti ni
22nd-24th Nov - ⏩Arrival & Exploring Tokyo prefacture (city tour by public transport)
24th- 26th Nov - ⏩Road trip to Mount Fuji & Gotemba (Shizuoka Prefacture)
26th - 28th Nov - ⏩Road trip to Hakone & Yokohama (Kanagawa Prefacture) → Makuhari & Narita (Chiba Prefacture) ,then departure for Malaysia.
Prefacture adalah pembahagian pentadbiran wilayah di Jepun,lebih kurang negeri dalam konteks Malaysia.Maksudnya,kami dah explore 4 negeri lah..Emmm..not bad👍!

Trip hacks?💡
Trip ni memang jimat sebab kita customise with our needs and kemampuan poket.Affordable trip sebab
i) most of our activities are free or minimal fee.We didn't go to Disneyland or DisneySea (7900-10900¥ per adult iaitu RM203-RM280 per adult) atau lain-lain aktiviti yang mahal.
ii) we ate out once daily masa lunch.Breakfast and dinner with food yang bawak dari Malaysia.Snacking from convenient stores like lawson or 7E.
 |
| Onagiri dari Lawson |
Kos makan di restoren halal lebih kurang 1000-1600¥ (RM40-RM60) untuk 1 portion.Ni untuk makan berat seperti nasi,udon atau ramen.Kalau wagyu atau yakiniku (grilled meat) boleh cecah sampai ratusan ringgit..
Mahal,jadi tak boleh lah nak makan pagi petang siang malam kat luar..hu hu
iii) kami tak shopping high end products kat sana (maybe sikitttt🤫)
Tapi nak pukul rata ni trip jimat cermat sangat..pun tak jugak sebab
i- kami guna public transport untuk first 2 days in Tokyo,the rest 4 days kami sewa kereta.
 |
| Road trip to Yokohama city |
ii- kami tak ikut toll-free route untuk menjimatkan kos ETC (toll) sebab nak kejar masa (banyak beza distance and hours of driving)
iii- kami parking kat parking berbayar jugak.Bila tak de pilihan,memang terpaksa parking kat tempat berbayar..dah memang cam tu kos parking kat sana.Cuma,maybe kos parking di luar Tokyo tidak semahal kat city.
Travelling makes you more patriotic 💌💌
Bila kita travel,kita nampak apa negara lain buat lebih baik..kadang-kala bila balik,baru rasa "Oh,benda ni sebenarnya bagus kat negara kita".
Tak pun..kadang-kadang baru kita sedar,negara kita sebenarnya tak seteruk yang kita sangka
Sayang pada negara tanpa menafikan kelemahan.Kritik dengan niat membaiki,bukannya membenci.
Malaysia bukanlah most developed..most canggih.But,we think most convenient..at least for us!
Travel yang reflektif boleh menumbuhkan cinta pada negara yang mendalam.
Semoga kita semua mengambil ibrah dalam setiap permusafiran di bumi ini.Insya Allah.
Sharing captured beautiful travel moments in Japan..🎎🏯🗾
