3 weeks in Japan ! It is going to be such fun as my two sons with one of their girlfriends are going at that time too. We won't overcrowd them, but I can predict some entertaining evenings. We will stay a few days in Tokyo ( with the dreaded SIL) , but plan to travel around. Anyone done Japan and have any recomendations ? Mr.Sam doesn't like Kyoto, too touristy. The previous times we have been, we never could manage more than a week away from work, so always stayed in Tokyo. To tell the truth, I cannot remember having a 3 week holiday !

Sam....LOL....but have a good time...;-)

Sorry I am now shocked that you would make such racist and insulting comments Sqad - a complete insult to a nation of innocent people!

Thanks Sam,
Nothing like a bottle of Mackeson in the bath tub then? :-)
I just googled them and they look stunning with the surroundings.

[Samuraisan]

Not quite Retro ! Mr.Sam wants to go fishing too , Oh God !

[Samuraisan]

Not going until November, so plenty time to make plans.

[retrocop]

Not Whales I hope.

[Rockrose]

Sam, so very jealous, my parents spent some time there before moving to HK, unfortunately I was there as a nipper so remember nothing - perhaps sometime I will get back

[Samuraisan]

No retro, he goes "Aji" fishing. He goes quite often here, then he makes it into sashimi and tataki.

This argument about which atrocity is worse is like my dad's bigger than yours. One wrong doesn't negate another.

[Samuraisan]

Thanks RR, you must make the effort. Flights used to be prohibitive , but now you can get really good prices. And as long as you keep away from tourist traps, eating and drinking is the same as here.

Looks like a fair bit of etiquette is required learning before getting in the rotenburo.
Not sure the wife would want to display her thruppnies for all to see although I see there are milky coloured waters in some.
NO Tattoos. Wife and I are OK but the two kids will scare the living daylights out the locals. They look like Samurai.
Don't put your head or hair under the water. Fair enough.
I would give it a bash. Looks fun.
