Change of itinerary?

[GordonFreeman 0]

I think I've seen all the temples I want to now. Just wondering on this itinerary if there's anything else I could add for the next few weeks:

Day 1 Osaka around town/night out

Day 2 Tokyo around town/night out

Day 3 Tokyo fish market and wander

Day 4 Nagano and to the monkey onsen.

Possible skiing in following days, if not:

Day 5 overnight to Sapporo

Day 6 Sapporo

Day 7 Sapporo

Possible skiing in following days, if not ?????

have you done Kyoto or Nara?

[NoFakie 45]

The news said tourists aren't welcome at the fish market in Tokyo over the busy year end.

It shuts on the 15th I think, I'll be there tomorrow or day after.

I've done Kyoto and Nara, I'm all templed out now, which is why I need a change

It's a bit quiet everywhere and I think I'm actually running out of things to do...

[Yuki's Passion 1]

theres much more than just temples in Kyoto...

 

you hit Hiroshima? A few things to do down there. Takayama? Just go to the mountains already! Enjoy some onsens and beers!!

[GordonFreeman 0]

Done:

Tokyo

Kyoto

Nara

Hiroshima

Matsuyama

Beppu

 

Onsens are cool but a lot of the hostels are empty outside of the cities. Not much good doing these things when there's noone about to share - not that sharing onsens is necessarily a good thing

 

Takayama, Nagoya, then Hakuba...a thought

What about the street where they all dress up Harajuko Street and the street where all the RocknRollers are. That looks like fun!!

Cool - all good ideas.

I guess the main problem is that this will take me up to around the 10th-12th.

I doubt if there's gonna be enough snow by then

Have you been to a green tea ceremony? then maybe soapland?

Yoyogi Park in Harajuku is where all the rock n rollers and various other alternatives meet. Every Sunday at the park. I was up last weekend walking round, drinking beer and people watching. Have a walk thru Harajuku and down into Shibuya, loadsa shops and cafes if thats your thing.

 

Have you been down to Mt Fuji area? Lots a lakes, forests and hills you can go for a tramp round, Fuji is beautiful just now, snow capped and huge! Also if you get bored then there is Fujikyu Highland, a small theme park with some awesome roller coasters

To borrow from Samuel Johnson, "when a man is tired of Tokyo, he is tired of life"

 

...or you might simply be too scared to explore.

[Red Dog 0]

have you thought of hayao miyazaki museum?

 

Or the nippon budokan for a look at the martial arts?

 

Tokyo disney?

[Red Dog 0]

[Tubby Beaver 209]

[hothead 0]

I don't know.. .Roponngi certainly is interesting/

 

[Tubby Beaver 209]

really?! It's full of Navy boys busying for a fight and african dudes trying to pull you into their strip bars or sell you some dope...not my cup of tea I'm afraid

[Wizz 11]

I don't go often but I've had some good nights out there.

 

I try to avoid Navy boys as a rule...
