Also came back from Japan myself 28th June
gonna look at a long term stay in 2 years ^^ Best part of my trip was meeting English learning (all female ^.6) University students!
Absolutely wonderful experiance, worth every penny!!!
Also saw Tokyo tower, Daibutsu, Mt Fuji (nice clear day for that!), various shrines I can't remember names for the life of me >.<, Akihabara (naturally
but didn't go there as much as I thought XD enjoyed Shibuya and Harajuku more ^^), stayed in Ikebukuro so went to sunshine city a fair bit ^^, If you go to Japan I recommend 'Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro' choose the Japanese style rooms they're quite comfortable
and a nice experiance too ^^!
It only rained twice we were there
and one of them was coming back to the hotel at night
so it was all good ^^, (Harajuku has a great doughnut place!!! by a tamagotchi store!!! you can see it from the train
)
Oh dear I keep typing I guess thats all XD all I can say is GO it's AWESOME, but I think the merchants also know that, so bring alot of money XD it's damn expensive in shops XD
