Visiting Japan

[GT-N]

Hello fellow NSXers,

I have a 90% chance of visiting Japan after my trip to China this summer in May.

My plan is going to Japan on the 29th of May and staying for 1-2 weeks.
The two places I plan to visit are Tokyo, and Osaka, I would love to visit Yokohama, Hiroshima, Kyoto, etc.

This is my first time actually going into another continent, so I was wondering if anyone could lead me in the right direction as far as hotels, places to stay, visit, etc.

It would be great to meet up with you all who are currently staying in Japan, and see how they do it up in the land of the rising sun

thanks for your time,

Greg

If you stop by okayama, or find yourself in a fix, give us a bell. On the way to hiroshima via the JR line.

try www.japanican.com
it will give you information re hotels etc and you can book on line.
Japan is fun even if you speak no Japanese..lots to see/shop/eat in Tokyo/Osaka.:smile:

Japan is a pretty english friendly country. Most people have no problem getting around. The further out of the big cities you go however.....:smile:

http://www.japan-guide.com/ is good. Getting around in major cities in Japan is relatively easy. Just make sure to study the Train route that you will be taking before hand so that you know which station to get off etc.

Please visit Honda Collection Hall in Twin Ring Motegi above Tokyo (around 2 hours by trains & bus). There is a mint Championship NA1-R waiting for your view. Sorry no test drive there. :wink:

If you are plan to take public train (JR = Japan Railway), you may consider get a unlimited ride JR pass from US's Japanese travel agency. It will save huge tain fares.

Hello Hirofumi san,

This is actually my first time traveling alone over seas.
By the way may I ask where in Japan are you exactly located?

I'll be arriving at the Narita Airport in Tokyo on June 1st

I was wondering if there are Honda museums, or anything NSX related that I could look at. Maybe a tour at a factory or maybe a ride in a NA1 Type R

thank you,

Greg

Lol wow what a coincidence.
What are your plans once you arrive?
Up for some traditional ramen?!
Yes it will be my first time having "real" Japanese ramen, besides the fact I've only had it made by some real Japanese in Vancouver, Canada
Where will you be staying BTW?

I am really looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the NSX community. Maybe me and NonstopReaper can hit up the Twin Ring Motegi.

By the way Hirofumi san, are you affiliated with or know personally team Top End Japan?

NO, we have no contact with Top End or members of this team.
Our club has another concept, different from Top End's, sorry.

Naw, they either giggle or pretend they never heard me....

This is a male-dominated culture.

Now Chinese gals might react a little different.

Hirofumi san, I respect the fact that NSX club of Japan has different concept of doing things.
I am looking forward to meet the NSX community of Japan,

thanks,
Greg

[NonStopReaper]
