"Once a Dream, Now a Memory" a Japan Travel Page by blacksnail

For Vter who always visit Japan Pages, will realise i've been posting lots of questions about japan for the past few months. and Yes!! I'm back from Japan. It was not a very relaxing trip I must say. But within this 2 weeks I travelled from North to South of Japan. I wonder if anyone done something like what i did before. It's fun and rewarding.

Bottom Line: It's a very interesting country!

Back to work!!!

I`ve seen and experienced Japanese Onsen, Hostel Staying , Capsule Hostel, Inactive but live Volcano, Sea of Flowers, 2 of the 3 Most Scenic View in Japan, Geisha watching, Shinto Praying and lots of train sitting.

TIPS:

1. if you are taking Long hour train, please ensure you reserve a seat first!
2. to travel long hour train, preferable take the night train, so you can save 1 night accommodation.
3. The Train is very on time, so please be punctual.
4. Most restaurants drinking water and tea is free, you can save money on buying mineral water, just carry a bottle with you and refill it in the restaurant.
5. Is very hard to get people who can speak english in japan... so a good
translation book is essential..
