thanks. i live 2 hours away from atlanta and im planning to go to japan one day. how much was the ticket?

I took a package.

From Toronto to Narita and 2 weeks at the Sunroute Hotel Shijuku was $2085 USD.

However I haven't seen a ticket for less then $1350, and it didn't matter when you booked, early, medium and last minute the price never changed.

I booked through travelocity.com and everything was/is perfect.

Flightcenter.ca had it for 699 round trip gor the longest time. not sure about tax though

I usually book through toureast.com, none of my tickets exceed 1150 (after tax) so far, but my last trip was october 07, so prices may have gone up since

Dang !!

Visisted Meji Jinguand I was there early enough to see the priests address the ancestors after the beating of the taiko. I stood just outside the temple proper and watched. I must have been glowing as there were lots of smiles and nods. I lieterally stumbled into it. I just started down the road from the hotel and ended up there.

The claping was interesting, not what expected. No clap-clap, bow, clap. It was more like clap (pause) clap, bow, clap, bow.

Very magical time there and nice and not so many people, well it was like 8:00am
