And this was the day we left Japan. I had successfully gone the entire night with no sleep at all! Early in the morning, we allocated ample time to get to Tokyo narita airport. But somehow by the time we did get there, we were among the last passengers to check in! Both of us [...]

Sugoi! I have always wanted to go to Japan but i can’t afford it yet. I love your travel blog! I just read the entire thing from Day 1 through departure in one go. The pictures are great and you are interested in the same sorts of things i like so i was absolutely captivated by all the cuteness and coolness you so carefully took note of.
Thanks for the great read!

Hiya!
I found your blog whilst searching for Hello Kitty Town as we’re thinking of going to Tokyo in March and my daughter loves Hello Kitty. Wow, you have done an amazing job! Your photos & comments are excellent – feels like I was there with you! We didn’t think about visiting Kyoto…but after reading your blog we must make a stop there as well!
Thanks for sharing your trip with us & hope we get to read more of your travels in the future!

Hey, I LOVE you for doing this day by day blog, I really would like to go to Japan one day…
So exactly how much did it cost for the whole time you were there?
I guess if you could suggest an amount of money to take for a week or two of chilling in Japan, that’d be beautiful.
I’ll be looking forward to your food updates!
Thanks~

Hi recently found your blogs when i was planning my trip to Tokyo next month to celebrate our 10 yrs anniversary plus valentine day….:-)
searching for restaurant to dine near Tokyo Tower and here you are. Thanks for the blog and it was really refreshing to read. Thank you once again. - Posted June 19, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Hi. Thank you for the reading pleasure, and a trip back to my first time but as a packpacker in Tokyo. Following the footsteps of your trip, couldn’t help but thought that RoughGuide should have a annex to your wonderfully detailed descriptions of everyday practicalities in Japan, which are very different from many parts of the world – how to take a bus – you drop the coins on arrival, how to buy a meal at a “tachisoba-ya” – get a ticket and slurp to show satisfaction! etc : )
For those in your blog expressing interests in costs and a trip to Japan, travelling and enjoying don’t need to be expensive.
There are a lot of great places in Tokyo and Kyoto that are opened only on slow discoveries. Look forward to your future trips there or elsewhere; and to the friends in this blog’s experiences.
