So we're going to Japan on 25th March and staying for 3 weeks. We're going for the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Festival primarily but we're also doing a few 2 days trips around the place to check things out.
We've rented an apartment in Tokyo for 3 weeks, on the top floor of a modest concrete looking building that faces the Kuwait Embassy and backs onto an elementary school. The apartment looks roomy enough, but I'm sure it'll be like a shoe-box when we actually get there.
The basic outline of the trip is in the first week we're heading inland and up Mt Haruna and staying at an onsen (hot springs) for 2 nights. The second week we're heading south to Kyoto/Nara/Osaka for 2 days to see the Sakura blooming (hopefully) and do all the touristy things and eat okonomiyaki! In the last week we're heading to Sapporo on the north island Hokkaido, where we will visit the famous ramen street and the various breweries.
In between our planned trips we hope to experience as much of what Tokyo has to offer, with special trips to Akihabara (most likely more than once), karaoke bars, yakiniku restaurants and much more!
