I am going on a 1-week photography trip to Tokyo. I have photographed the lovely magaibutsu Buddhas of Usuki a couple of years ago, which turned out great. Now, I have heard of a cliff carved Buddha in the Chiba area at Nihonji Temple. I have a JR pass, and wondered how I can get to this temple to photograph this Buddha and the carved Jizo. Can someone confirm that the closest station is Hamakanaya? And the cableway will be operational in early April? I need to visit the temple for a few hours and then get back on the train to go see a concert in Chiba town. Thanks!

Any shuttle bus runs between your hotel and airport, Narita? And what is the time schedule?

Hi all,

My hubby and myself are planning to go to Japan either in May or July 07. As we're not the sort who's entirely into shopping, we're hoping to do something a bit more different. I have been told that a home-stay with a local family would be great because of the cultural exchanges involved (of course it is likely that we'll have to stay with a family that speaks at least some English; me and hubby can't speak conversational Japanese).

Does anyone have any idea if there are local families in Chiba who are host families? Who would be willing to host a couple (We're from Singapore) for approximately 2 weeks or so?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or leads. Or perhaps you can point us in the right direction?

How do I get from Narita Airport to Chiba Washington Hotel?

Can somebody explain me which is the best way to travel from Narita Airport to Chiba?
I'm going to stay at Green Tower Makuhari Hotel next week and I'm getting crazy!!
Is there any page where I could see the railway map or something similar?
Thanks in advance
