Hi. newbie here.

I bought JAL offer RM1250 return. arrive narita 28may 7am and depart 3 june 1130am. what is weather like?

been reading this thread. can anyone assist how to plan the trip? place to go? my main requirement (if possible):-

(1) want to go and get souvenir at all japan hard rock cafe (Fukuoka, Nagoya, Narita, Osaka, Osaka Universal, Tokyo Roppongi, Tokyo Uyeno Eki & Yokohama)
(2) visit mount fuji
(3) cover tokyo (possible in 2 days?)
(4) temple visit not a requirement
(5) check out nightlife (with live music).

anyone can recommend? travel using JPR to cover all cities? hotel budget RM300++ per night?

thanks.

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.
