Going to Japan for two weeks
Konnichiwa fellow DC and Figure.fm members. I've planned a trip to Japan (my third one...) for two weeks starting April 4th till April 18th and wanted to let the community know so that if anyone wanna say hi and tag along for some time we can try and plan a meeting. You can PM me or just reply here. I'll be mostly taking pictures of sakuras and going on about in Tokyo and Kyoto for some shopping. I speak french, english and a bit of japanese. It's finally a dream come true because I wanted to go for the ''hanami'' for the last 4 years but never had the chance to choose my work holidays in the same time. I hope to see some of you guys there, and maybe Danny too !! Well, take care guys!
P.S. : first picture taken from google just to have something related, but the rest was taken last year when I went to see the 1/1 GUndam in Odaiba. Taken with the Lumix LX-3
The all seeing eye
Funny. We also start our long awaited trip to Japan on 4th and for two weeks ;)
:D Nice! I'll be staying at the Sunroute Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku. Maybe we'll see each other in Tokyo! I wish you a very nice two weeks trip! Mata ne!!
That's double fun because that's where we are staying while in Tokyo too ;)
And, btw, I wish you a very nice trip as well.
Seems we have huge chances to bump into each other ;)
Wow that's nice!! Good choice! ;) If you see someone wearing a white Anaheim Electronics polo, that will be me! It's the third time I go to Japan but it will be the first time I go there with a friend. See you at the lounge! (free internets but only 2 PCs...)
Hm, I think they advertise to have free internet in room too. At least that was our plan.
BTW, I wonder what your plans in Tokyo (and Kyoto) are, it is possible we have something intersecting on the same days ;)
Our plans are laid out here in comments: http://tokyo.japantimes.co.jp/post/en/273/Best+Japanese+food+is+one+you+make+yourself.html#comments
First trip to Japan for us, though.
Yes, they do have free internet in rooms but you have to bring your laptop, and since I don't have one... lol We'll be going to Kyoto for just a few days so we would gladly meet up and share with you guys along the way. It would be really nice! BTW, your blog showing your attempts at japanese food looks delicious to me!! Very clean and beautiful plates!! I gotta say your have a way to make beautiful meals! I'm sure they're tasteful too! Oishii!! You will find plenty of very nice food spots around Shinjuku. I'll be going to Akihabara too on April 6th!
Thanks for the kind words.
We probably can meet in the lobby on 6th in the morning at some predetermined time and head to Akihabara together.
Don't forget to bring me back something. =P
Sure thing!! ;) I'll bring back everything I can!! lol

Am also going, but i starting my trip the 9th of april to 1 mai.
would be cool meet up, cus am going to kyoto too^_^
you gais are lucky to be able to have weeks of holiday.
for me, 10days is like reaching the limits before my boss would like to have some word with me
10 working days is exactly 2 weeks
mine is 6working days only.
arrive on 17th April, leaving on 26th.
Tokyo-Yokohama-Osaka-Nara-Kyoto-Nagoya-Tokyo-FINAL DESTINATION
Wow! Sound's like you will be running entire time.
Not that our schedule is not tight, but your seems to be a lot tighter.
yup, will be running like theres no tomorrow.
im somewhat familiar with Tokyo and the JR's there (been there last year), but osaka is different story (￣■￣;)
i will skip time consuming places and focus on scenery if possible.. i hope to capture nice scenery shots this time
I wish you good luck with those scenery shots!! I hope to get some myself! I won't be running that much thought, since I'll be going to Kyoto only for 2 days to get some sakura shots. I'm glad I could have some time off work but still, two weeks is very short to see and do all there is in Japan.
This is truly a small world. I'm going back on April 25th and staying for 3 weeks this time. It's my 4th trip to the Promised Land. Gonna finally visit Kyoto, Osaka and Nara along with Tokyo and all my old faves. Wish some others from here were going around the same time so we could hook up.
