r45 4 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Cleaned up the house? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 going down to Shimoda next weekend for a few days, laze by the (nice) beach, onsen etc. Then just the usual tourist hot spots around Tokyo. My parents aren't fussed about seeing Kyoto etc as this is their first time here and they just wanna see what its like where I live. Thinking about the wine tasting in Yamanashi, Sumida river cruise, any other recomendations? Link to post Share on other sites
