anyone been to japan? im planning on goin there this summer.. most likely osaka since its close to the international airport.

i was just wondering what was fun/interesting to do in osaka or anywhere in japan? any ideas? im trying to plan ahead unlike my friend who went- he basically walked around the hotel area, played arcade games, went shopping, ate ramen, and came back. i know japans freakin expensive~ tryna spend around 2k there..excluding plane tickets. any ideas?

arigato mr. roboto

 

I think there are a bunch of cool castles near osaka. You don't have to stay in Osaka, just take the train, there on time, fast and cheap to get around on.

 

kansai international? try to find night clubs

 

oh if you plan on traveling alot on the ground, try and get an all japan rail pass from a travel agent. they cost about 270ish. alot of shinkansen travel is not cheap, so the pass might save you money

 

You can't go to Japan and not pay hommage to Gunma!

 

cheap? i heard like a subway train from the airport from the airport to osaka is around 30+ bucks =O hah.. and prices are suppose to go up this year.. m dunno.
in korea its like a dollar in american money to travel an hour by subway hah.

yeaa that all around travel pass sounds really good!

 

Yeah, there are castles at Himeji, Kyoto, Osaka, a probably some others.
Kyoto has a bunch of temples.

But frankly I didn't think castls and temples were too fun.

Watch the landing at Kanasai International! That's a bad *** airport

 

That's a pretty big question you're asking there, considering Japan is a whole country. What's there to see in the USA? Plenty of answers...

Might want to start here:

Japan is in the middle of a big foreign-tourism push so I think there should be some good information on hotels and deals on there. Good luck planning your trip...

 

Go on a bulllet train.

 

yes it is a very vague and big topic~ i was just looking for some various and random things to do people might have experienced or know to do there preferably around kyoto/osaka area~ well leme narrow it down then heha.. any recomendations for ~19-25 year olds? i mean of course im definately not gona plan my trip around responses i get from this thread ;p but just wondering what ideas many of you have =)

 

How bout go meet some Kogals? LOL

 

find the underground drift scene. film it then come back and host up the vids.

 

haha good idea eh

 

lol mayBe ;p eh.

 

or:
find a nicely modded car of choice, i.e.: skyline...

flash some american money. ask driver to let you drive it around.
drive car around. get out of car. rejoice. then come back and tell us about it.
