since this is my first trip to japan.. i would like to just spend them within tokyo area..

i will be staying at the K house tokyo guesthouse at Taito-ku.

Can sifu here recommend me a nice itenary?

I am travelling to Japan for 2 weeks with my husband starting on 18/10/13. I am muslim too but why I am not worried about halal food because if you can't find halal restaurant, you can either choose vegetarian food or seafood. Simple solution. On another note, you can bring canned food from Malaysia.

Thanks bro..

by the way on 16th and 17th i will be inyokohama for a conference. I would need some advice here.

i have already booked my hotel at tokyo for last 3 days.

on 18th and 19 i still did not book a hotel.

Is it worth for me to travel to kyoto and stay 2 nights there?how much is the fares and how long does it takes to go there from yokohama.

Since i will be in tokyo for 3 days.. i would like to see some nature parks.. still undecided nikko or kyoto.

Check the map. Kyoto is damn far. Bullet train to Osaka also need 4 hours and very expensive.

True -- for 1000yen can get glorious fresh seafood and rice.

Anyway, last Dec we were walking around Tokyo and spotted 2 halal eateries (Indian and kebab):
- Siddique Halal Indian Pakistani at N35.702045 E139.771912
- Nasco Kebab at N35.702072 E139.699738

Keep a keen eye when walking -- you are bound to spot them and others.

Thanks bro..

i think i will drop the plan to kyoto and instead i will go to Nikko.

I found this on the web on how to go to nikko from yokohama

http://www.nikko-jp.org/english/access/train.html

What is the difference between the JR LinEast and the Tobu Line?
It cost about 3300 yen ( per person from yohohama to Nikko ) and 2500 from Nikko to asakusa(where i will be staying in tokyo) which is ok for me.

Anybody here can recommend me a nice cheap guesthouse/ hotel in nikko for 2 night? where me and my wife could stay in? i googled and could not find a reasonable one.

Need some help me thanks.

On how to goto Nikko already posted on pg1. There are package deal by Tobu line going there and a dedicated station just beside the river cruise terminal direct to Nikko from Asakusa.

Ya lor!! Very easy. Why worry too much & spoil our holiday mood over small matter, kan bro

@Okinawa... the typhoon is so nice...
driving is like skiing... I think cat4/5 oni

Thanks bro!!

last question, is it worth to stay there for 2 nights or should i just stay in tokyo and go there for a day tour?

I have still not booked my hotel yet, either to stay in tokyo or nikko.

Any cheap guest house i to recommend in Nikko?

Depending on you. If you want to visit just Nikko -Shogun shrine & temples, day trip will do but if you want to enjoy some of the best Onsen/ hot spring, can stay overnite. For me due to the time constraint, I choose only day trip. Nothing is cheap in Nikko. Even the ramen/Udon soup per bowl already 1000yen

Sienz sienz sienz......show me some tough question please.

I want to stay in Toyoko Inn with male staff. Can you recommend me where?

Not sure...never stay in Toyoko Inn....I perfer APA hotel more. Same concept as Toyoko Inn , near train station. Almost similar price but more high classy abit.

Naha got male staff. I saw once before.

Finally managed to book a night in Maze via a very helpful officer in Gero city tourist information centre. Very nice lady helped to call the ryokan and even arranged for pick up at Gero city station. Will be enjoying Japanese 'ulam' and sweet fish Ayu in the ryokan for dinner. Can't wait....

Also will get something from here for the lady officer at the information centre. She has truly made the trip more joyful.
