    I plan on getting a pocket WiFi while in Japan. If I enable WiFi calling on my iPhone, disable data & roaming, will I be able to imessage without an international plan?

    We’ll be staying in Tokyo for 4 days. Besides spending a day trip to Hakone and visiting places around Tokyo, we are still open for one free day. Any recommendation on another day trip? Nikko? Thanks

    Hi, great question! Besides Nikko we highly recommend Kamakura. It takes a little over an hour by train and you can easily spend entire day in this beautiful and scenic town. The Great Bronze buddha is the main attraction but plenty more beautiful and peaceful places to see and do here. On your way back you might want to stop in Yokohama near the bay is Red Brick Warehouse shopping and dining area and Yamashita Park. If you like Gundam, there is a giant moving one here! Or if you want something on a smaller scale, Kawagoe is about a 45 minute train ride from Tokyo. It has a few Edo period streets that are very well preserved. Great place that isn't so crowded. Let us know what else you are thinking and/or interested and we might make some content about it ;) Have a great time!

    @@KenshoQuest thank you Kensho. Very helpful. Btw, which app should we use to schedule or plan on the train/bus routes from place to place besides the Google map? I m currently using JR website but seems a bit confusing and transfer time a bit short (only about 10min between trains) for first timers. We are concerned of missing the train if followed their online schedule. Thanks

    Hey there, I saw a few weeks ago on insta that you've got the DeRantau visa for Malaysia. Congrats!! You haven't mentioned anything about it. How was the experience?
