Last time I went I didn't get to do Fuji so obviously will go there...other than that, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kobe. Quite fancy going to Sapporo but it's a hell of a trek...so Shinkansen up to there. Love the place
I have no doubt mate. Totally love the place!! You wen't to Akashi didn't you? What's everyones highlights of Japan? More people have been than I expected! Everybody should go IMO, most amazing place i've been. My highligts include Miyajima, the food (all of it..except raw Sea Urchin aka Uni), being able to eat your dinner off train floors..
Been to all those three places in the pictures Been talkin about going back there with my lass - although i'd prolly have to go through either Korea and get a ferry to Okinawa and then go back across the mainland so its a different kind of trip. I have a habit of going back to the same place multiple times i have to stop doin!
I was planning a trip to Japan for the end of 09 but has been put on hold for the minute, definately gona visit sooner than later, looks amazing.
i loved japan so many favourite bits went to see a sumo bout in tokyo big men in nappies :laugh: met the bloke who owned the factory that made the balloons for disneyland tokyo kobe/miyazaki beef getting the ferry from shikoku island to kyushu & seeing a family of dolphins swimming along side the boat osaka castle the temples/shrines of kyoto Akihabara (electric town) & Asakusa (temple with market in tokyo) naruto whirlpools the stone statues in beppu & the fuuny bloke reading us the time table the meat restaurant we went to with kens mam's friends where you just got your beef & veg & cooked it on the hot plate in the centre of the table got plenty more i could bore people with
how much does a trip to japan (or elsewhere in the Far East) normally set u back these days ? I'm thinking of venturing there next year
japan is the most expensive place in asia... know some people who spent more n 2 1/2 weeks there than in 2 mths in india if you are under 26 or a student then sta travel is your best bet or poss trailfinders. so long as you get yourself a youth hostels card & stay in youth hostels you can do it kinda cheaply (just eat in fast food noodle bars ) also by you rail ticket before you go means oyu get 2 weeks of travel on the trains paid for
