Default First trip to Japan

Mainly going to be in tokyo, but will be taken a day trips to Kyoto and Osaka. I'll have a full free day to check out tokyo. I've been given some tips on what to see/do. I wanted to see if there were any other tips from s2ki.

I can't wait!

Hi Ry

I live in central Tokyo - PM me if you want to meet up for a beer while your here, and I can give a few pointers of what to do/see.

This travel agency does some good deals in Kyoto etc, if you haven't booked already.

It's been booked. I work for www.curiouslabs.com who is owned by www.e-frontier.co.jp, so they've already booked the tickets as the trip is mainly for business but I get a few days to play too.

I'll shoot you a PM when I'm there and let you know how my schedule looks.

I'll be there from 4/8-4/14

quick question, that is if you don't mind me asking. i've been wanting to visit, but tickets were normally at 12000 and above, how much did you get your tickets for?

Tix to fly?
$12,000?? You probably meant 1200.

Last time i went, i went to Hong Kong and Tokyo. So my combined ticket was $1400. American airlines sends me offers for like $550 to go to Tokyo. Just check each website.

However usually i fly using my 10% retail ticket price as a relative works for a major airline co. If ticket is $1000, i only pay $100.

Congrats on the opportunity to go to Japan

I went there 3 years ago and did what you did... travelled to Kyoto from Tokyo. From Kyoto, take the bus and head up (north?). You will travel through the city and see an interesting mix of old and new Japan. Pretty cool stuff

Osaka is a lot of fun.. basically anywhere in Osaka was fun..I think the area I went to was called Namba. Lots of good food and things to see.

Here are a few pics that I took from back then. If you need specifics, let me know.. I might know some people that may be able to steer you in the right direction
