Stayed at Gion Fukuzumi Ryokan Hotel - Kyoto, Japan.
|
Take the 206 bus south to Sanjusangen-do and back to Kiyomizu-dera, then it is a nice long sightseeing walk northward to Ginkaku-ji. Good kaiseki lunch at Nakamura-ro on the southern edge of Yakusa shrine is pricey but worth it for the experience. Day trip to Hiei-zan from Kyoto station was also worthwhile.

Nagoya is a great city! It's not the most exciting or most beautiful city in Japan, but it is clean, the people are nice, the weather is good, and it has some of the best food in the country.

Stayed at Century Hyatt Tokyo - Tokyo, Japan.

We enjoyed Tokyo once we got over jet lag, the overall drabness of the place - it's a big city after all, and the lack of English signs or help. We took the Sunrise Tokyo Dynamic Tour which enabled us to see a lot places in the town in one day. We also took the Nikko shrine tour which was lovely. The lunches served in both tours were excellent. We used the subway to get around the city. Very little English so it was difficult at first but with a little work, you can figure it out. To be fair, every subway stop had at least one map with the English names on it - you just had to find it! People did stop to help us when I pulled out the map and looked lost. We enjoyed the shopping at the Oriental Bazaar and other big name stores. We enjoyed Japan and want to go back.

Stayed at Osaka Toyo Hotel - Osaka, Japan.

The subway system is clean, safe and efficient -- a very cost effective way of getting around town. For leisure travellers, plan to spend quite a bit of time walking about the Dotomburi/Shinsaibashi-suji areas for shopping, dining and entertainment.

Stayed at Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu - Tokyo, Japan.
|
There are lots of fine restaurants around hotel. And some of them open 24 hours. The perfect place to do shopping but not sightseeing.

Stayed at Shiba Park Hotel - Tokyo, Japan.

I was there for business, so I (unfortunately) didn't really have much time to visit. However, Ginza @ night is impressive. Omote-Sando on Sunday is very nice with its cafes & teraces.
