Some ideas for a trip to Japan?
My wife and I are looking to travel to Japan next April and am looking for some advice. We there for 15 days, flying in and out of Tokyo. We want to see Tokyo, Kyoto, Mount Fuji and also would like to visit at least one onsen, but apart of why we're open to suggestions. We intend to purchase a Japan Rail Pass 14 days, so we're willing to go anywhere that looks interesting. If have any suggestions of places to visit or an itinery for us to follow would be very appriciated. Besides, my wife is a vegetarian who eats fish or not. Any advice on how they can survive for a fortnight?
As a vegetarian, it will be a little difficult. Get someone who knows Japanese to write a letter detailing their needs that can show the shopkeepers. The Japanese chain Mos Burger is a veggie burger, and more Western or Buddhist shops shops can make a choice vegetarian too, there are also native vegetable dishes, but the concept of vegetarian food in Japan has not taken hold as strongly as in the UK. I was a fish who drink in Japan, and most fought, when he returns this year, is free as a fish plant, should be even more of a challenge. If you do not speak Japanese, LABLES can not read the ingredients to see if something has meat in it … and when you can read Japanese, is to put meat in all sorts of places not expect it to be. In short, be prepared to compromise. Here's an interesting website: http://naturalhealingcenter.com/creative/tengu.htm vegetarian food, and delivery across Japan. I was recommended by a friend, but never used them myself. My first trip is to visit Council Kamakura, just below Tokyo and was a former seat of government in ancient times. The Great Buddha is impressive, a large bronze statue is hundreds years old. Peace parks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki where the bombs were dropped also be of interest. I went to Hiroshima, but I saw the park in Nagasaki, which was very touching. Nara is supposed to be beautiful, hope to see this year. Onsen are great, but remember that you have to go naked. Some people find unpleasant. Try a Home-stay! You have enough time to organize it, you can go and stay with a family Japanese for a couple of days, really going to add a different flavor to your trip. Nikko is a good call, with the tomb of Tokugawa Ieyasu there, although a little austere, when you finally get there. I remember a lovely city but there is a splendid waterfall there too, and just up the road is a place called Yumoto, which is an onsen resort, you can book a hotel there, or just go swimming in spec. Bon voyage!
