any other important tips? :-)
Iwaso ryokan should serve soft mattresses to foreign tourists to make their stay more comfortable. Please tolerate their ignorance. They aren't just used to serving foreign tourists.
I visited Brasil once and had to get my Passport stamped at the Consulate General office here locally.
Is that required and are they any medical requirements such as shots for Hepatitis as they are required for traveling to some European countries.
I was looking for a hotel in Japan, something a little more familiar with the American Tourist, Hilton types with read beds and real bathrooms.
What can you suggest and if you have pictures, I would love to see them. Email to mssweetdelight1@yahoo.com.
Thanks for your post.
