Probably a festival of some sort so people are wearing special clothing....just speculation on my part.

Haha....funny, girl. I doubt the traditional dress, if any, is so involved ;)

Hello there =)

I'd like to ask if anyone here knows some pretty good Japanese travel companies that offer packages, which you know provide Hotels, meals, transportation etc? I've been looking through many sites now, and am still in the process.

For those who've been to Japan, I'm planning for a trip during July to Tokyo and Osaka (my first time ever), probably a week for each. Are there any other places recommended, or else some popular sites within these two cities? Thanks in advance :)

Where are you located?

It wouldn't be of much help if you're in one country and people from another country make travel agency recommendations... :beaten:

Middle East. The problem is I don't think a lot of people here go to Japan, and there aren't any direct flights yet (I think). So it has to be to China and then to Japan, and now I have no idea whom to contact. :sweat:

Sounds a little daunting, but you'll figure it out, I'm sure. :victory:

Hope so! Besides, I've got time =D

Have you ever been to Japan b?

If you're in the Middle East it would probably be best to fly to a major European city and then from there go to Japan....there's got to be lots of flights to Tokyo from cities like Paris, London, Frankfurt, or Amsterdam.

Yup. I did a quick search on expedia.com from Dubai to Narita. They either connects in London (with British Airway) or they have one with Catay Pacific. Faster. They have direct flight to Hong Kong. :)

I don't know where exactly you are, but you can check the price and availability on the site. I bought my plane ticket there when I went to Japan a month ago.

Good advice.

Or he could pull a Marco Polo, take the overland route to Cathay and go from there.

Yeah gorgeous pictures....

I'm going to Japan! Dec' 08 AND Mar' 09. About time.

And in terms of weather, being a Canadian girl, I'm sure both months will be a lot better than the months in Canada. :victory:
