This year, i will be spending my birthday in Kyoto Japan..and the timing is just nice for the autumn leaves!
Have been spending the last few months planning my itinerary for this japan trip and finally we are done with the most of it. Thanks to the help of my friends and colleagues with their advice. Especially this lady call samantha whom i met on the forum, has helped me alot with my plannings and timing. Accomodation and transport are fully taken care of. Just need to study a bit more on navigating in Japan.
It was my dream to go Japan and finally i get to go on my 30th birthday..not too late right?
I am waiting for the exchange rate to drop further before changing the currency. The JR pass is a little too pricey when we bought it..it cost around $490 where the usual paid by my friends was around $420. Well, I was quite surprise that travelling to Japan these days werent as cheap as i thought it will be. Not even with the recent nuclear issue. I remembered flying by delta or northwest airline to Japan was around $450 few years back and now, it cost $600 at an after discount pricing.
This trip, i will be concentrating on exploring just the central Japan, Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Given 8 days and not planning to rush throughout the trip, we have decided to drop Hakone(Mt Fuji View), nikko, Nara and Kobe. I guess these places will be for my next visit to Japan.
Now we are waiting for the day to come and hopefully the weather will be good.
