Chill out at Ginza and Roppongi at night!! Very happening places to party.
The Hard Rock Cafe is located in Roppongi.... so, HRC fans, take note! Dress well, please. The Japanese are one of the most best-dressed people in the world!!! And they are still holding on to this untarnished record of theirs. So, please don't fail them.... ;-)
Roppongi by night and of course the Tokyo Tower copy of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is actually taller (333m) than its french sister and was completed in 1958.
A must is to have coffee at the AMANDO (Almond Coffee Shop) located at the intersection between Gaien-Higashi-dori and Roppongi-dori
visit JAPAN!
Our first stop in the Land of the Rising Sun: TOKYO. Yes!
Have you seen the Harrison Ford (1980s) movie 'Blade Runner?' Well, Tokyo in my eyes is somewhat like that... only better!
Everything is so high-tech here! But if you're craving for a taste of traditional Japan, just head to some parts of Tokyo and voila! You'd be forgiven for thinking that you've been twirled back in time to the Edo era. :-)) Seriously.
TOKYO has ALOT to offer a regular tourist/ traveler and you don't even have time to think about shopping (which is terribly, terribly EXPENSIVE to begin with). :-((
Let's start with the artsy side of Tokyo first, shall we? This throbbing city has MANY museums that will certainly appeal to aficionados of art, history and culture. Pop by their different neighborhoods - it's like a mini-city within the City!
ASAKUSA district is well-known for its temples and the famous Asakusa Kannon Temple. GINZA is the place for folks with a bourgeois taste in (for?) shopping. MARUNOUCHI district is where you head to if you hope to catch a glimpse of the Imperial family. :-) ROPPONGI district is for those die-hard party-animals reading this page (GREAT nightlife!!). AKIHABARA district has the LARGEST concentration of electronic shops IN THE WORLD. Don't miss it! SHIBUYA and HARAJUKU have great beautiful shrines and equally great shopping (albeit EXPENSIVE) to boast of. Ah, and SHINJUKU have lovely towering skyscapers (whip out those cameras, quick!) and great shopping to entice every tourist/ traveler. Lastly, UENO is the place to go to if you're searching for tranquility (read: lovely parks), spiritual enlightenment (read: temples) or just want to museum hop (read: many great musuems!).
If you want to know what else to do here in TOKYO, please check out my TOKYO travel page as soon as you finish reading this, O.K.? Arigato (meaning 'Thank You' in Japanese).

I was there last october and from my point of view the best was Kawaguchiko Station Inn, is in Kawaguchiko lake, is really wondefull place, tipical japan. It was cheap, clean the stuff incredible nice, the rooms amazing with free tee, and a bathroom you will not forget with a hot tub full with water from the thermal spring. You can see fuji from the window and in a 5 min walk you will be in the lake.
Outside kyoto I recommend Nara, there is an amazing temple with a 20 meter Budha, and it,s full with reindeers free in the streets

I won't be able to meet up with you, but I have an itinerary suggestion. Instead of spending 3 whole days in Kobe (I LOVE Kobe!), you might want to take a half-day trip to Himeji to see Himeji Castle, one of the most beautiful castles in all Japan. It's a 30 min ride on JR. Sit on the left side of the train and you'll get to see a beautiful view of Akashi Bridge on the way. :)
Thank you for the suggestion. I have been there. I appreciate your answer.

Hi Masa, was going to Fukuoka, but changed plans. Please give me your E-mail and phone #, because I may get there anyway, and tell me best time to contact you.
Thanks for your answer.
My best,
JD
Jerry
How did you change your plan?
I would like to come to Fukuoka and Kyushu region (Dazaifu, Yanagawa, Kumamoto, Aso, Nagasaki, Oita, Beppu, Yufuin …) where we have a lot of tourist attractions such as historical and modern culture, beautiful nature…

i've learnt a few useful phrases :
'ka' - at the end of the sentence means a question.
'sen'- at the end of the sentence means a 'negative'.
Japanese language has hardly any grammar or plural/singular, so it's not too difficult to pick up a word or two.
'wakarimasen' - (pronounced as wa-ka-ri-ma-sen) means 'i don't understand'.
Once you said this, the japanese will quickly switch to speaking English to you.
'doko-desu-ka' - (pronounced as doh-ko-desk-ka) means 'where is ' ....
but one puts the subject/object always in the front of a sentence/question.
example : where is the toilet ? 'toilet' doko desu ka?
For some reason all bikes in Japan look the same and I hear they are as commonly stolen as umbrellas. I find that hard to believe however and choose to believe that - if anything people merely forget where they put their bikes and hence claim they are stolen.
