Thanks so much for sharing your trip. I am planning to see friends in the Tokyo area next week... They want to take me on some trips outside the city proper, and have been asking where I want them to take me! Yikes!! I have been at a total loss on what to tell them (because I'm always game for pretty much anything), so this itinerary helps a great deal!!
