good thinking

unfortunately it is going to be rainy season in June, VERY humid and hot. I wouldn't recommend actually...

Trust me, I live in Japan.

Have a good time.

Be sure to check out:

Hirajuku (spelling?) - The kids in Goth outfits are sort of cool and ther eis a nice Shinto Temple within walking distance of trian staiton.

The Tokyo fish market - Go when you are still jetlagged so that you catch the early morning Tuna auction. I read somewhere that 1/3 of Japan's fish goes through this market. That tidbit and the fact that Japan eats 1/7 of the worlds fish... you do the math. They have a great sushi stand there, but I was not really up for Sushi at 6 in the morning.

Take train to Kamakura - The original capital of Japan - Has the Budha statue and lots of temples. Break out your hiking boots as the walk is long...

Once done with that - go to Niku and take a dip in the hot springs

Have a great trip. One note - take a train or the bus from the Narita airport to Tokyo. Whoever thought that putting the aiport that far away from the city is nuts. Its the equivilant of putting the closest NYC airport in Pennsylvania...
