Now on makemytrip - there is the mmtbiz (or corporate bookings) section. if I use my work email there, it automatically populates company and GST number. Its saving me a 1000 bucks each way on the booking. Will this get me in trouble or can I do this? Pls help if someone knows. Do not do that!

Vamos Posted April 21, 2024 Report Share Posted April 21, 2024 Hey guys, Anyone who's been to Japan, what's the best month to visit? How many days are good enough? (I'm thinking one week) Also, is it worth getting the Rail Pass for $350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm thinking one week) Also, is it worth getting the Rail Pass for $350? Japan is great year round, so first check your availability. I am going next month. If availability is not an issue, then Dec-Jan if you like winter and snow, Feb-April if you like spring, skip first week of May and Aug-Oct for the fall colors. Japan is vast and there is literally so much to explore and see that even 1 month is not enough. I am going for 16 days. In 1 week, I think you might only be able to hit Tokyo-Osaka-Kyoto at the surface level because of travel being involved. You won't have time for regional areas. I would recommend to restrict yourself to Tokyo and Osaka only. As for the rail pass, depends on you. 1 Shinkansen ticket generally costs around 4-5k, assuming you take 2 of these and rest as local commute, the pass won't be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your trip and do share your experience later. I’ll be going in October as it seems to be the only month I’ll get time. And the fall colors sounds perfect. And I’ll try stretching it to 10-12 to possibly add Miyajima and Hiroshima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently the e-visa issuance is suspended due to some technical issues (that’s what they told me in Hyderabad). They said most likely it’ll be a sticker but they can’t say for sure as it will depend on the embassy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still issuing sticker visa here and there. In my experience, even before e-visas came, BLR had the worst chance of getting a long term visa.
