OMG everybody 's going to Japan...even my mom this New Year's day!
Anyhow, one of the most amazing places I've seen is this temple called Sanjusangendo in Kyoto (I think that's translated to 1000 Golden Buddhas). It's a super amazing place -- 1000 life size golden buddhas with life size devils in the front. You got to check it even if you're not into budhhism...I'll try to scan the brochure later today and post a link here. Also this temple in Kyoto up the hill (sorry forgot the name or location), but when you walk down the hill the other side, there's all these tombstones with babies on them...weird stuff....
Also check the Nijo Castle in Kyoto...they had an English speaking guide explaining about the Shoguns and stuff which was fascinating.
Have fun everybody!
