Going to Japan

[Loveless]

JR Pass will make it easier, I believe, if you're going to be travelling alot within Japan. It'll be good cause you can pretty much go anywhere by foot/train. And a lot of train stations, last time I went, had some English under the names too.

I still don't understand why people are so obsessed with Japan. Its the country of anime. Oh crap I think I answered my own question.

When I go overseas I'm going to Stockholm, Moscow, Warsaw, Budapest and maybe Istanbul. Personally I'd avoid going to Japan full stop now (Used to love Japan but not now) but everyone likes different places mine just happens to be Europe

Good luck on your trip though.

PS: You've given me motivation to start saving money faster for my trip xD.

I think you're silly to think people go to Japan only for anime. O__o Not saying this only cause it's my home country either.

Btw Hessah, you should go to Nara. They have wild deer roaming the town/city... and you can get these things called Nara Senbei that you can feed them with. I haven't been there myself but it'd be a nice experience. And... the aquariums and amusements parks are nice too! Man, I wanna go to Japan... last I went was for a business trip so not much time to have "fun".

I'm planning to go Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo...

OMG Japan is soooooo much more than just anime >.> I dont even watch anime anymore..

They've got their food, hot springs, temples, bullet trains, disneyland (but i think i'd wanna go to DisneySea), tea ceremonies, dispensers (yeah LOL apparently they have machines for everything), shopping (Totoro shop!! ok maybe a little bit of anime XD)... just the whole culture.. i reckon it'd be like walking into the future LOL

@ Loveless - We're thinking of going to Kyoto for a more traditional japanese style city.. is Nara a better option? I might look into that too...

@ Username - i shall find some octopus balls, take a photo and post it for u here...?

I can tell Derrik is not thinking in the right train of thought. Yeah. Get off of that train there buddy.

I'm not sure where Nara is exactly but that's one of the options you could look into. I went to DisneySea and it was fun even though we went there off season. *0* When I think about it though because you're going to walk quite a lot maybe you won't gain anything and just work it off. xD You'll be climbing a LOT of stairs... you'd wonder how those ladies walk in high heels all day up and down stairs. o__o That's talent in a sense.
