The food is amazing there and the people are really friendly. Try everything you are served. I had the best steak ever in Kobe and something that I think was fish.
Tokyo is huge, Mt. Fuji is gorgeous, and the bullet train is really cool and interesting. However, I enjoyed the small, ski town of Zao the most. We got to eat traditional food and stay in tatami-style (spelling?) rooms. Karaoke was also a lot of fun, but unique because you sing in small groups in private or semi-private rooms. Have a blast!

Japan is awesome. SUSHI!!! Go to the Tsukiji Fish Market early in the morning. Did this on the day I landed. You will see the biggest Tuna you have ever seen, then get sushi at one the restaurants near it for breakfast. Take a trip to Yamanouchi Town in Nagano Prefecture and visit The Jigokudani Yaenkoen Monkey Park. It is not winter but still will be worth it. Stay at Shimaya Ryokan, http://shimaya-yudanaka.com/en/ Awesome place. Walk around and see the shrines and temples. Some I liked are, Yasukuni, Hanazono, Zojo Ji, Senso Ji and Meiji Jingu. Visit the "neighborhoods", Akihabara, Asakusa, Ebisu, Ginza, Shibuya. Go up in the Tokyo Tower, go to the Imperial Palace. Stop at the street food carts and eat everything.

I've been twice to the Southern end...it's OK but I could only see so many temples. One thing you will see is allot of folks. I ate food I had no idea what t was and some of it was not edible....Their beer is good and you can buy it in vending machines. The train system is awesome once you get it figured out...go to see some baseball games...The Tokyo Giants are the team to beat....after 45 days I was ready to get home..

We went 2 years ago. Went to Tokyo, Hakone, and Kyoto. While we enjoyed all of them we ranked them as Kyoto, Tokyo then Hakone.
The Tsukiji Fish market is awesome BUT you have to be there EARLY!
Shibuya is an experience like no other.
Sushi Nova was a conveyor belt type sushi place. You ordered your sushi on a touch screen and it came out on the belt and stopped in front of you. Was really a neat experience.
My personal favorite eating was an Izakaya. You order small skewers of.... well nearly anything. We had everything from onion to stingray flaps. We ate ourselves stupid for a bill of about $35 US.
The railway system is amazing. It took us about 15 min to figure it out. Once you understand how it works you can get nearly anywhere for a couple of bucks. It can get super crowded around rush hour. No joke type of crowded. We simply did ride the rails at that time.

Highly suggest visiting Nara to see Tōdai temple. Words cannot describe it. Its truly a sight to see.
Try and see all the castles they are awesome.
Tokyo tower
Also just about every city as a fish market. Get up early and take a stroll before all the restaurants buy it up for the day. You will see all sorts of fresh fish.Last edited by COWDOG; 08-16-2018, 05:40 PM.
