First Time backpacking around Japan, help?! - 03-23-2008, 04:28 PM

So I'll jump straight in.

Basically me and my husband-to-be are planning to go to Japan for a month for our honeymoon. We'd like to take the 'backpackers' approach and explore at our own pace, kind of doing our own thing.

But we are both completely new to this! obviously we both have the common sense to keep us out of trouble on the trip. But I really, really would appreciate ANY advice or help with the rest. Has anyone else done this and how did you find it?


Questions I especially need answered:
Recommended/reliable hostels or B&B's and their general locations?
How much money should we take to spend (this includes accommodation and general stuff)?
Is it fairly simple to use the public transport from one place to the next?
Oh and what is the best time of year to go (we'd prefer the 'low season')

We've read up about all of these things but I guess you can only learn so much without actually experiencing it for yourself.

Thanks in advance for any input guys !
