Travel Plan Japan
Simon Calder from The Independent tells of his experiences on a travel plan in Japan. The plan seems to be Tokyo - Hakodate (on the island of Hokkaido) - Sapporo - Fuji-Yoshida* - Kobe - Kyoto in 7 days. The author claims it was stress free thanks to Japanese hospitality and bullet trains, but that seems too fast for me.
A practical tip from the author is to get a 7 day Japan Rail Pass while my own tip would be to read my flying section for reviews of JAL - my wife and I usually like flying with them and the prices are usually reasonable.
* The author didn't get much of a view from Fuji mountain, but a friend of mine said she saw the most beautiful sunrise imaginable from the peak (though reaching the peak for sunrise means hiking up the mountain in the dark. Dress warm and bring lights.

Hey
Read your letter and I have a queston... I also went to japan for a few weeks but I did'ent pay anything because it was paid by the city from there sister cities program. This year I will be going back but it's hard to find cheap plane tickets, Do you know any way I can fly really cheap or get some money?
Thanks
