It depends on where you want to start your journey.
If you are heading for Tokyo first, you can get around to the shopping part quite easily. After that you can take the shinkansen to the other cities. The journey on these high speed trains can be anything from 1 hr to 4 hrs depending on where you are heading. The hub for these type of travel is at Tokyo Station.

Food is not too expensive if you are not to choosy. A typical meal at Yoshinoya can be as cheap as S$5. Of course if you end up in a sushi bar and you eat a lot, the meal can be as high as S$40.

Getting around in Tokyo can be complicating but if you can understand the rail system it is actually quite cheap and easy.

For hot springs and natural places, you'd probably need to get away from Tokyo. You might then want to start from Hokkaido. I've not been there so I cannot offer any advice.

The biggest problem is probably language. The further you move away from the big cities, the larger this problem is. Carrying a phrase book helps.

I'd probably can share more if you can post more specific questions, esp on Tokyo.

Tokyo, japan: Must visits:

Disney - Check out DisneySea. Really beautiful in there. Stayed in the Disney hotel, wow! even the toiletries are of Disney characters Wink

Mt Fuji - Beautiful, but really really cold. Maybe cos i went during winter. Be properly dressed for the cold and strong wind. Don't forget to check out the hot spring. Damn hot!

Not aware that there are cheap things in Japan. one nice place for for shopping: Shibuya - Good place for shopping, very hip!

winnie^_^ SG

oic... mountain fuji wulu anot?
shibuya is like sg which shopping centre? can give example?

Ladi SG

hmm... i will not associate the word wulu with mt fuji. There were other visitors during my visit there. But honestly, i wished they were not there! Somehow they appeared outta nowhere in my beautifully taken pictures! Rolling Eyes

Shibuya is the equivalent of our Orchard Road or Myung Dung of South Korea, but definitely more hip and a much greater place to shop with much wider range and variety! The weather is better (than Singapore), and the people are more polite (than South Korea). But be prepared to bring many credit cards! Wink

eviljustice SG

i live in japan for 6 yrs

hellomotosxq SG

Precisely! Use *DVD Ripper* and rip all the DVDs to a *750GB external harddisk*.

Do this for yourself, and for all your good brudders!
