It's up to you, you may have very different tastes than me. But on my 8 day trip through eastern Japan, I spent it like this:

Day 1: Leave my home in Hashimoto-shi, Wakayama-ken, travel to Lake Biwa, visit a fishing village, travel on to Kanazawa.

Day 2: Explore Kanazawa, especially the beautiful park, travel to Takayama.

Day 3: See Hida Folk Village and old part of town.

Day 4: Hiking in the Japan Alps, travel to Matsumoto.

Day 5: See Matsumoto Castle, travel to Tokyo.

Day 6: Explore Tokyo, especially looking for manga, see Hachiko statue, Harajuku, Shibuya, etc.

Day 7: Day trip to Nikko, north of Tokyo, to see temples there.

Day 8: Travel back home from Tokyo to Hashimoto.


I was able to see and experience a wide variety of Japanese culture and settings, from perfectly sculpted Kanazawa Park to the wilds of the Japan Alps, from the historical shrines, folk village, and castle to modern day Tokyo. I had a wonderful time, and I just can't imagine what I would have done spending all that time in Tokyo instead of sampling the variety that Japan has to offer. But to each his own.

Hi Folks

I'll be in Japan from 28th March to 7th April 2008. Will be based in Tokyo but am planning a few day-trips. Will be flying solo and would love to meet up with some people. I'll be staying in the Ace Inn Shinjuku. Would really be interested in meeting up with anyone who is planning on going to TAF 2008.

As you can see from this link my previous attempt to drum up interest with Irish Otaku wasn't particularly successful.

HI!
I will go to Japan from 28th July to 16th August!

I'm going to Japan either from August to January or from June to August. I don't know where or when out of the two above options yet, as this is because I'm through a foreign exchange program. I have requested to be placed in the Kansai area, but who knows where I'll go. They might put me in Sapporo or Okinawa. Who knows.
