Thank youHi Gareth,
1it's great that you're off to Japan.I know you'll love it.I've put together a few ideas for you.Of course you'll discover lots more things while you're there but this should get you started.
2There's lots to see in Tokyo.Sensoji Temple's great.You go through an
enormous red gate,then walk along a row of charming little shops to the temple.It's a busy area,jammed with people.Next,be sure to go to the Kabuki Theatre.It's advisable to get tickets for one act only as the whole thing can last four hours.And check out the food floors in department stores.They're fascinating and give you a good idea of the range of Japanese food.Also,for Dylan's sake,don't miss the well-stocked Hakuhinkan toy store in Tokyo.
3ldeally,you should see the cities of Kyoto,Nara and Kamakura as well.InKyoto,I recommend you visit Ryoanji (Zen rock garden),Kinkakuji(“Golden Pavilion')and Kiyomizu Temple.Nearby Nara also has some very impressive ancient buildings and statues.As for Kamakura,it's a historic city about an hour south of Tokyo.Make sure you see the Great Buddha there (a hugebronze statue)and don't forget to wash your money at the Zeniarai BentenShrine.They say if you do,it will double.
4If you can,try out a mountain onsen (hot spring).They're wonderfully refreshing.And it's well worth staying at a ryokan,a traditional inn,where meals are brought to your room on trays.
5i hope you have a great time!I look forward to hearing all about it later.Lots of love,Ellie
