this is how you get there:
london - paris
paris - berlin
berlin - warsaw
warsaw - minsk
minsk - moscow
yekaterinburg - novosibirsk
novosibirsk - irkutsk
irkutsk- ulan ude
urlan ude - ulan baator
ulan baator - bejing
bejing - shengyang
shenyang - dandong
dandong- pyongyang
pyongyang - seoul
seoul - busan

then u have arrived from there u get a flight to japan., yes this is going to cost alot!

Sounds great but very expensive. I'd like to visit Vladivostok someday, and maybe some other parts of Russia.

Will you be able to get out of the train on the stops, M? You need a visa imho, otherwise you will be trapped in the train... no fun

hmm yes this is very tru ex.
i think im gunna go to the travel agents in the near future n see what they can do for me, hopefully they will sort out the visa's or at least let me know how i can get em.

thanks for letting me know though i never really thought of that
