should make sure places are OPEN before you get there too... =/ otherwise it throws out all of ur plans! but otherwise, it's been great =)
Shinjukuu (Tokyo). lots of ramen shops and other nice restaurants to go to and eat, plenty of shopping to do, bars, stripclubs, arcades. it has a very nice atmosphere and is always busy and vibrant.
reno is a baller..... anyways i think i would enjoy going to akihabara.. and my friend told me about those love hotels LOL
i was... i miss japan =( i wanna go backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk osaka + shanghai != everywhere >.< lolz japan is niceeee sooo many cute girls too! lol and food everywhere is nice~ regardless how cheap or expensive it is
i'm suprised no one mentioned anywhere in hokkaido! sapporo is a pretty good place in my opinion. it might be a bit harder to get around compared to tokyo if you don't know japanese, but the people there are really friendly. the seafood is fresher and cheaper, and there's quite a few good historic places and sights to see. there's also a great franchise up there called round one and leisure sports, where you can play games, mazes, sports in the one centre. a good day's worth of fun XD
i just went to Japan last winter... 1 week in Hokkaido and 1 in Tokyo... absolutely awesome!!! ramen in Sapporo is the best... snow was good but since u going in summer im actually not too sure how Hokkaido is... but im sure its still great..
yea osaka is great. more down to earth kinda place, compared to tokyo. and apperently all good japanese comedians come from osaka. the crepes, lol. too sweet for me, but still nice. i had one with ice and banana and chocolat sauce.
