Hello,
we will be in Tokyo for 17 full days starting in mid September. I read this page for a few weeks and started to plan our own trip a few days ago. so far i got this plan:
day 2- 6: tokyo (looking around and do usual tourist things, disneyland, fishmarked, shopping,..)
day 7-10: tokyo game show (on of the main reasons for the trip ^^)
day 11-17: get a JR pass for 7 days and do several day trips
day 18: back to the airport in the morning
we already got the hotel in tokyo i'm looking for things to do on one day and return to tokyo in the evening.
So far on my list is Kyoto, Nikko and visit some factory outlet near tokyo (bayside outlet for example) for a day each.
is the JR pass usesfull for a trip to mt fuji as well? i found out that the season for mt fuji is nearly over when we arrive mid september so
i guess its better to plan a day trip within the first days and pay for the train/bus without JR pass right? is a single day to mt fuji in mid september worth it?
i also want to buy a japanese laptop and would not mind to travel somewhere to buy one. or is akihabara usually the best place to look for one?
can anyone tell me if there is a ''ichiran ramen'' in tokyo? i saw the forms you can order your ramen and already love the idea :)
i found the page but the address is in japanese
http://www.ichiran.co.jp/pc/hp/english/index.htmlanything already wrong with the plan or is it a good start? we are a group of 5 people and like shopping, computer/games but some culture would be fine too..
thanks a lot :)
