Weeman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Planning on a trip and I've always wanted to go to Japan. I've found a round trip including hotel for around $1500 for an entire week so I have no idea if thats a good deal or not. If you've been there would you recommend actually going?

Jake Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Akihabara, Hakone, Osaka. Nara is an amazing place also. You can literally walk up to wild deer and they're not scared. $1500 for fare and hotel is a pretty good deal depending on where and what hotel. I would LOVE to go back.. pay for my ticket? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60Seconds Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've been to Japan multiple times. $1500 is an awesome deal for a week. Although I could tell you more if you told me which hotel it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlock Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 What's the purpose behind your trip? I heard tokyo is a huge party place for tourists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeman Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 What's the purpose behind your trip? I heard tokyo is a huge party place for tourists. Pretty much experience as much culture as possible. I've never left the country due to family reasons but I finally am able to start checking out the rest of the world. Japan has lured me to it first due to it's island nation Isolation making the development of it's culture very unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeman Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Do you know any japanese or are you going to get a translator? From what i've been reading they prefer to speak english to foreigners and will make every attempt to do so no matter how broken their english is. And no I do not speak a lick of Japanese and I won't insult people by attempting it while i'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karot Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Japan has a pretty legit culture! I studied Japanese for 2+ years if you're into perverted/weird shit then Japan is the place for you! Obviously, this isn't all of the culture but a good chunk of it i'd say. I was originally planning on taking a trip to JPN this summer actually but had to bail out, it was like $4200 for two weeks. $1500 sounds good but at the same time be careful about the price (Not saying anything bad, just be cautious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puppymew Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Buddhist pilgrimage? What does that entail? Does one have to be a practicing Buddhist? What sect of Buddhism was it for? I'm a Nichiren Buddhist, I think you have too be practicing Buddhism because I finally got to go after 3 years, and you basically visit a whole bunch of different temples, I stayed at 2 different monk houses (Don't know the real name) One at Mt.Minabo and one at Mt.Shichimen (COLD AS ALL HELL.) So we did full services there, each a hour long, the rest of the temples we visited we did a small 30 minute service just as a group. When we weren't staying at a temple we stayed at Shinagawa Prince Hotel, which is a really nice hotel that I recommend, we stayed in one in Tokyo and one in Kamakura. (The Kamakura one had an AMAZING view, picture this, a beach, with a lone mountain known as Mt.Fuji with the sunrise right behind the mountain!) It was almost free trip to Japan, what I mean is the temple paid for the plane tickets and the hotel rooms. My mom just had to have 300 dollars in spending money.
