This will be my second trip to Japan as a tourist. The previous one was in March 2005 with a friend. I'm going alone this time around. 9 full days in Japan, based in Tokyo. I plan to hit Shizuoka and Nagahama in one day to see the 1:1 scale Gundam and the Kaiyodo Museum. That will be my anime/hobby fix for the trip. I will also hit Kamakura and Yokohama on another day. I will go to Nikko another day and my final trip to make the best of my JR Pass will be to Kyoto.
I figure the other five days will be in Tokyo. I will hit the Miyazaki museum in Mitaka and go to Nakano Broadway the same day, since they're on the same line! I also plan to take a boat tour of the Sumida river and hopefully take a helicopter cruise of the city. The rest of the time will be shopping and taking photos of everything! This time I will go where and when I chose and not have to concern myself if someone doesn't want to go there or stay longer.
