where are good places to visit in japan and what are the good things to do there?
-
get a guide book...
if u're going tokyo, basically u can go shibuya, ginza, disneyland this kind of shopping places and gia gia....
u can also go osaka with shinkansen and sapporo in hokkaido, though it's better to fly there.
u can also go to their shrines and monuments to see see....
if u're not going as a package, get a tokyo rail pass in singapore before u go there. prices are about S$550 for one week, but i suppose it'll save u a great deal over there. valid for JR railways, but generally not for monorails and subways. -
Harajuku district. See cosplays.

japan is a good choice dude. trust me.
everyone wears elegantly. stylish. polite. clean & tidy place.
tokyo - disneyland
osaka - universal studios
hokkaido - fresh sashimi, kobe, etc. nice sceneries during winter and quality stuff there are cheaper. compared with any other big cities in that country- as far as i know... -
Why would you go to Disney Land and Universal Studios in Japan? These are American institutions that have been transplanted for asia. Heck, amusement parks are the same everywhere. I'm going for a short trip in June and I've plans to visit an Onsen in Hakone, tour Ginza, Shinjuku, Roppongi etc in Tokyo (esp. at night), take the Shinkansen, and definitely have to take a sightseeing stop at Kyoto. Have to admit though, a vacation in Japan is way more expensive than neighboring Korea. Lucky I have relatives in Tokyo.

i suggested coz they're internationally well known and the nearest to this country. that's why. erm, leave the HK one out, it's *ought* to be small. hehe.Originally posted by kivichio:Why would you go to Disney Land and Universal Studios in Japan?

If its your first time to Japan, I would recommend Tokyo. I found it best to get a middle-end business hotel in Shinjuku, and explore Shinjuku thoroughly. That will set you back around a day and is most worth it as you can see many sides of this ward.
Spend the remaining days venturing around wards which are connected by the Yamanote-sen. Its a train line that goes in a loop around Tokyo and covers most of the tourist spots, except Disneyland. Drop by Akihabara, Shibuya, Harajuku. In fact I found it to be extremely homely and just dropped by any stop that seemed interesting.
Disneyland is a must
Go by rail. Cheaper.
If you have some spare time, Kamakura or Hakone is a must. Train ride to Kamakura from Shinjuku costs 980yen, forgot the details about Hakone. Kamakura is a beautiful township beside the sea, famous for its shrines and giant buddha. Influences of Nichiren's Buddhism can also be found here. Overall a quiat little town. Hakone is near Mt. Fuji, a more inland and forested location. If you go to either one, you must take the local train for a scenic ride through the towns!
Thats about all from me for starters... Just let me know if anyone wants to know more regarding the Tokyo-to region or train systems, I will be glad to help
