Japan is beautiful especially during Christmas time. Lots of things to do and sights to enjoy. Best to join a tour especially if you have kids in tow

JR Tickets can be purchased before Japan trip at the Tanjong Pagar station JR cafe & ticketing counter. The station is on street level above the Tanjong Pagar MRT


Tickets are valid for 3 months & you can activate fr the main stations in Japan. Best activate at the airport. You can indicate 1st day travel to begin any day, not necessarily on day of arrival. Once you begin using, it will count fr that day for the duration of ticket u've purchased. There are 7, 14 & 21 days tickets available.

Universal Studio & Disneyland tickets can be purchased prior to trip to save time fr queuing. They've good discounts now.
