traveling to japan
 

Hello everyone

I will begoing to japan from the 2nd to the 14th of july aand i was wondering what I should go see. Very interested in anime/manga and generally absorbing the culture as much as im able to in my short visit. Thankyou in advance to all who reply!

Where are you flying in? What kind of budget are you looking at?

I never been but i would tell you what i would go see when i go. I would see the Hide muesuem.

I will have a budget of about five grand or so american I will be flying into tokyo not exactly sure of the airport though. Also what is the Hide museum?

Do you know the band X japan? well he was the guitarist of them but he killed himself or so they think. and its a musuem dedicated to him.

Kanto region:
anime and manga = akiba
shopping/night life = shibuya/harajuku/yokohama
adult entertainment/night life = shinjuku
onsen/cultures = hakone/nikko

Kansai region:
shopping/night life/adult entertainment=osaka
culture/tradition= kyoyo/nara

you can probably cover all these places in 12 days.... 5K US is more than enough... hope this help

5k for 12 days?! :eek:

Living it i up aren't you?

5K is possible... if you eat at restaurant for every meal and you pickup a lot of souvenir...

My previous trip was about 7-8K in 14 days, including plane ticket and accommodation , food and all... but i did spend a great deal in souvenir and electronics

5K is not really a lot in 12 days, considering the high cost of living in Japan. I should say it's just adequate if you want to enjoy your trip thoroughly. I myself already spent 2K in 5 days just in Tokyo (including air tics and accommodation), but I have no regrets:)

i would probably have to bring 10 grand lol.

wow so I'm not going to survive on 1-1.5k spending money for 6 days? I already paid for my flight and hotel which came out to 1.8k.

Don't you worry. That will be sufficient unless you're doing heavy shopping or drinking in Ginza with all those pretty hostesses.
