I'm Going To Japan

i think if you really would like to stay somewhere pretty nice...it's indispensable to go with at least one another person if you want to save money since you could split the cost of accommodations....if you stay somewhere clean but not really luxurious (and there's tons of places given the level of service in japan) you could save LOTS of money if you split the room.

what people don't understand that haven't been there before, is that there are cheap places and ways to save $$ in Japan, even Tokyo...

stay at a hostel, or capsule and each onigiri all day in the parks....and skimp that way, but that is no way to travel man.

i'd say a little luxury and some budgeting, but no way on the hostel/capsules...maybe a business hotel and 4 star hotel with some nice restararants to eat out at, during the trip.

yeah it's that crazy engrish.

I was in Japan 04' for a week and 05' for 6 weeks. Spent over 10 grand this year on the trip.. It was lonely over there by myself.. but it was fun going to the clubs in Shibuya and Repongi.. JAL is the way to travel .. reason: the flight attendants are cute and extremely nice and also ‚Æ‚Ä‚à ‚¯‚ꂦ,

I stayed in Tokyo..Traveled everywhere, I wanted to go to Osaka to visit Universal Studio. Anyways, there are places to eat that are around 5-7 dollars. Not a small dish, but a big bowl or set. I love bentos, they are soooo gooodd...

Tip: Do not bring too much clothes with you and stuff up your luggage, because you will not be able to control yourself from buying everything there. Time to go, just wanted to share my experience with everyone everyone here

Cool :victory:

I think I'll travel, like that Wisconsin's cat who travel to France, in a cargo container to save money. Then, I'll follow Tu_triky's advice and stay at the Park Hyatt hotel to live like a king. :thumbsup: ... until they kick me out of the country in 1st class. :)

no problem...you could always stay at the grand hyatt save a little money and stay in roppongi hills...a short distance from all the night life madness :P rooms are smaller but the hotel has got that ultra ultra modern slick look...just as pimp, in my opinion :)

Wow! Flat screen TV in the bathroom with an awesome shower. :thumbsup:

Once, I've spent 3 to 4 months in a row in various hotels and I even ended up with a suite a few times because they overbooked, but it's not even close to be as classy as this. :wow: Very high tech and stylish.

I'd be happy to live in there all year long.

yeah when my friend and i walked in we kinda flipped out on the whole set up...yeah the tv in the bathroom swivels too so you can chill in the bathtub and watch tv even while taking a shower because the partition is all glass....

i could live there all year long too! :beaten:
