just thought I'd lend you all a dose of inspiration for potential Japan trips. I went for 5 weeks in March/April this year, and with the help of some japanese night classes plus a healthy dose of JapanesePod101 I was able to make my way from Tokyo to Okinawa via Kawaguchiko, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Yakushima........... phew!
