京都:
世界遺産登録の京都・二条城でアライグマのものとみられるつめのひっかき傷見つかる
世界遺産に登録されている京都市の二条城で、アライグマのものとみられるつめの引っかき傷の跡が場内のいたるところで見つかり、京都市は対策に乗り出している。
国宝「二の丸御殿」には、柱の下の方から上の方まで、アライグマのものとみられるつめ跡が複数見つかった。
京都市中京区にある二条城では、3月から4月20日までに、屋根裏や柱などおよそ50カ所に、アライグマのものとみられるつめの引っかき傷が見つかった。
傷は深さ1mm、長さ7～8cmほどで、周辺に残っていた足跡やふんから、アライグマのものと考えられる。
京都市は被害を防ごうと、捕獲用のわなを城内4カ所に設置したが、まだアライグマは捕獲されていない。
元離宮二条城事務所の島崎俊樹次長は「傷自体は非常に浅い。動物の傷というのは、ある意味、自然現象といいますか。このまま経年劣化で目立たなくなる、なじむのを待つのがいいだろう」と語った。
京都府ではここ数年、清水寺やほかの寺でも、アライグマのものとみられるつめの引っかき傷が見つかっていて、今回は、ひときわ交通量の多い京都市の中心部で被害に遭った。

Here's what I can suggest you look into for your list -
(1) Get the address of all the Hard Rock and then cross-reference the exact location using Google Maps. On Google Maps, you can then see the nearest train station to the HRC. After that, use http://www.hyperdia.com/en/ to plan your travels via train. But to get souvenirs from ALL Japan HRC in 6 days is "almost" impossible due to the traveling time required even with JRP. You can definitely cover the one in Tokyo (Ueno and Roppongi) and also Yokohama and possibly the one in Narita if you make a quick stop en-route to the airport.

(2) Best to join a tour for easy no-frills trip to Mt. Fuji - Check out :http://www.japanican.com/tours/tourdetail.aspx?tc=GMT01TYOOF800

(3) Definitely can't cover Tokyo in 2 days but if you list out the places you wish to go; we might be able to advice on how to group them together based on distance and easy of travel.

(4) If temple visit not a requirement; then you can skip places like Asakusa, Meiji-jingu in Tokyo etc...

(5) First place that comes to mind will be Roppongi but since I'm not really into live musics etc... you can check out http://www.frommers.com/destinations/tokyo/0085021118.html

Thanks.

RM300 per night almost is like staying in Capsule Hotel already.....

If want go until Fukuoka..mean 1st after arrive tokyo you have to go over Ueno and Roppongi ASAP ..play all within the time.......after Tokyo then take Shinkanshen go south to Yokohama 1st stop for you Hard Rock Cafe >>> Then 2nd Stop at Shizouka for MT Fuji >>> Nagoya for Hard Rock >>> Osaka for Hard Rock and my personal like Osaka Night life more better >>> Last Stop Fukuoka for your Hard rock ...and Fukuoka Morning Market is best don't miss it......

After Fukuoka then back Tokyo (from south to north)

Since you visit so many place ..better do all reserch first as PsyCHZZZ told you ...if not you will not enough time for everything.

Early May or somewhere in the middle / end of May? Reason is because early May is basically the Golden Week holiday and it's super peak season. So, best to avoid traveling during the 1st week of May.

Guys...found something...zero (0) yen shop hehehe...:

Added on April 24, 2010, 2:06 pmI think the previous "Hokkaido" thread has quite a bit of info on the famous souvenirs available in Hokkaido. Personally, I find that at the Sapporo airport (New Chitose) has a lot of shops that cater to this so it's not really necessary to buy them while you're traveling. Just go to the airport ahead of your departure time and shop at the airport itself for your souvenirs.
