I am looking for a florist in Kawasaki who candeliver flowers on 30 August 2007.

Hi,

I am contemplating whether to stay in an onsen ryokan in Hakone or Takaragawa. I really like the looks of Takaragawa onsen but is it possible to get there via Hakone? My plan is arriving Hakone from Tokyo, spends morning and afternoon there and then take a train to Takaragawa. Will I have enough time to do that or am I being unrealistic?

Also, can somebody recommends a good onsen with outdoor bath and also serves great kaiseiki dinner?

Many thanks

Hi. Im travelling to tokyo 2nd week of May, and would like to go to Hakone and spend a night there. Would you have any recommendations on where to stay? I just need clean, private toilet and bath in my room, and would like to stay in a typical japanese inn. I hope to get a nice view of mount fuji, and the lake. im willing to spend 15-20 thousand yen for the overnight stay.

Thanks in advance!

I am arranging a 2-day package trip through JTB Sunrise agency and trying to decide between the Hakone Hotel Kowakien ($263) and Yumoto Fujiya Hotel ($408). The latter is more expensive since dinner and breakfast is included.

Both hotels offer onsen, but I am not sure which one to stay at. Your comments and guidance would be much appreciated. Food, location, quality are all considerations.

Any info on the Shizen guesthouse in Manazuru? TIA

have u ever tried going on cruises in minato mirai??? im planning to go but i dont know wat to take.. thanks

From Odawara in the morning with hikari shinkansen to Hiroshima and continue with JR local line to Miyajima. short trip there back by JR train and streetcar to Hiroshima Peace Park. o/n Hiroshima

Has anyone on this site ever been there? How is it? I don't know how an entire museum could be devoted to curry, but I'm interested in seeing it. My boyfriend & I both love curry so he suggested that we go there for fun when I visit in February. What are people's opinions on that place?

I'll be staying at that hotel from Feb.13th to 14th of 2007 & was just wondering what people's opinions were of it. How were the rooms? Western or traditional? Did anybody use the onsen, public or private?
Thanks for your help!!!

I'm actually going to Odawara the 30.th of December to buy kamaboko. Is there a nice place to stay in Odawara or should I go to Hakone? Is there a place to eat kamaboko as well? Is the fishing port active?

Will be in Japan for 5 days in January. As we will be flying into Tokyo it has been suggested we have 2 nights in Kamakura. Would this be a good idea? If so does anyone know of some decent accomodation, ideally in a Ryokan or similar.

Cheers

i will be travelling to tokyo at the end of this mth and will be staying in a hotel in shinjuku. from various website, i found out that there are some day tours for mt fuji+hakone+lake ashi day trips. was wondering if i should go separately for these places? seems that hakone is a big place and mt fuji is just the 5th stn?

in summary:
1) can i manage to go mt fuji & hakone on the same day w/o the day tour package?
2) if so, can hw can i travel from mt fuji to hakone?
3) is lake ashi at mt fuji or hakone?

I have a backpack (slightly larger than school go-ers size)
and a check-in luggage of about 30kg capacity.

Does JR Odawara station have lockers big enough for my luggage?
What are the dimensions of the lockers available?
How much do they cost?

I'm just making a day trip from Tokyo to Odawara/Hakone area and will proceed to Kyoto afterwards.

Thank you!

Anybody have restaurant favorites for Hakone?

How easy is it to get from the port at Yokohama into central Tokyo and back?
I will only have about 10 hours from the time I disembark to the time I have to get back on to the ship so how easy will it be to see at least something of Tokyo?
Many thanks

Half a century ago the very best shumai in Yokohama -- or anywhere else I visited in Japan -- was at Hakugan, a Chinese restaurant that specialized in that delicacy. It was located on Isezaki-cho. Does anyone know if it's still there?

My wife and I are planning to stay in Kamakura for a night and we would like to stay in a hotel with some privacy and security. We would like to have the name of the inexpensive hotels.

Thank you

Hi, I have a few questions with regards to this hotel and its accessibility.

How do I get there from Shinjuku Station (assuming I'll take the Odakyu Railway)?
How do I get to the main natural attractions from the hotel (eg. ropeway, sightseeing ship, etc.)?
Does the hotel provide soap, shampoo, towels, toothpaste, toothbrush?
Are the hotel's onsen located on the premises or do I need to go to Yunnesan for hot springs?

Thanks.

I am having a hard time finding lodging listed in Kamakura...I quess cause most people make it a day trip. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

I just would like to know your opinion about the JR Rail pass. How was your experience? Also, can it be used to take the Narita Express to Ofuna? Please, let me know anything you know about the JR Rail pass!

Thanks.
