Thinking of doing some of Japan in September/October.
Looking for suggestions of things to see and do from people who have visited or live there.
We will likely be landing in Osaka.
Probably spend a day there - it's meant to be cheap shopping.Then do Koyoto/Nara
More than likely stay in Koyoto for 2-3 days.
Seems to be a lot of beautiful temples and parks to see. But I don't want to spend time going round them all. Is there any real stand out ones?Then onto Tokyo for 4-5 days.
Will have most time here and i know there's a BIG list of things to see and do. Any out of the ordinary, off the tourist guide suggestions of something we might not have read about?Any recommendations of synth shops (new and second hand) would be muchly appreciated although the wife might not.
And what's the chances of getting a new Sony Camera over there cheaper than I can get in the UK? Or do they just sell them with the Japanese Operating System?

yeah, everything electronics is in japanese. i havent seen any exceptions. but what ever they have is about 2 or more years ahead from what they have in the states.
- thats what i've read elsewhere. think you pay more than UK price for a camera with english OS :( so ends up being not worth it.microkorg

Japan boasts some of the best natural hot springs in the world. Referred to as "onsen", these geothermally heated springs are scattered all across the country in both indoor and outdoor facilities. These waters are considered to have restorative properties with natural minerals that are thought to heal aches and pains, ease and prevent illnesses, and generally maintain a healthy body- I was in an Onsen, and the setting sun peaked through and lit up the water. It was full of floaties :/inteliboy

- Will definitely do a few shrines and temples but not fill the holiday with them. Only visit the best most stunning ones. Any recommendations?microkorg
- ive seen the temples around tokyo only because of time. if you plan to travel more through the country then you can see the more extravagant ones. mostly itsyurimon

If you're going to be in Osaka you should check out Dotonbori and Osaka Castle.
See Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto.

Try spend a night in a koya-san temple. Sneak out at night and walk around the ancient grave yard at night (I'm a goth!). Its one hell of an spiritual experience.
