well guys i am planning on visiting japan. I was wondering some things before I actually bought plane tickets.

1. cost: i plan on partying all night, renting a skyline for a day, eating a lot, maybe buying some parts and staying in a decent hotel. I was thinking of bringing about 2 grand. Although, keep in mind I'm going with my brother and like 5 or 6 friends, so cost will be split would that be enough.

2. age: what is the legal age, i was planning on taking my seventeen year old brother. I am also 19 and my friends fall within an age braket of 18 -19.

3. places to visit: cars, girls, experience, etc

4. getting around: is it hard to get around as in going from city to city and place to place?

5. girls: i don't want to sound like a pervert but i sure do love school girls.

 

1. Cost- I stayed in a relatively cheap hotel, the New Takanawa Prince. It was like 13000 yen per night, roughly $115 a night. Right across the street from teh Shinagawa station. Dont know about renting a Skyline...driving is expensive, tolls, no parking, etc. Best to take subways/JR lines, etc. However if you must rent, i've only seen like those micro cars for rent, never saw a Skyline. Eats can be really expensive, or they can be pretty cheap. My advice, buy teh "LONELY PLANET" Tokyo guide book at your local bookstore, tons of great advice in there.

2. Age- I'm not sure about this at all, i'm 27 so it wasn't a concern for me or my friends. But i'm pretty sure legal drinking age is 18 over there.

3. Visit- Cars, there's autobacs, spoon, j's racing, mugen, etc. Just be sure to get the addresses from a Hyper Rev book. Easiest way is to buy the book, show it to the taxi man, and he'll take you there. Girls, dude they're everywhere, i was in heaven. lol But seriously, Shinjuku has a famous red light district (kabuki cho or something like that), and Roppongi has clubs, bars, prostitutes, etc.

4. Getting Around- As long as you can understand Japanese, you'll have no problems at all. There's English everywhere too, most people (young) speak English so you'll be ok. The trains/subways were a little hard to figure out at first, but became easy to navigate after a few rides.

5. Girls- !! WHo doesn't like school girls?? !! Check out like Shinjuku near the Alta studio, tons of chicks around there. Shibuya is also a great place for eye candy as well. Heck, even on the trains/subways you'll meet a bunch! Good luck and have fun! I wish i could go back real soon.
