Japan Getaway

A trip from June 12, 2008 to June 29, 2008, travelling to Osaka-Shi, Osaka, Kyoto-Shi

This is a trip travelling through many of the major cities in japan. All stops include Osaka, Kyoto, Mt. Fuji, Yokohama, and Tokyo. The trip begins Thursday in Japan, on June 12th, and Goes through Sunday, June 29th.... (A total of 18 days.) The planned trip does not include airfare to or from japan as that will have to be arranged in addition to the trip cost. Most travel within the cities will be done either on foot, bike or trolley/cab depending on how much you wish to spend or your acquired tastes. All travel between cities however will be handled by train. Japan's famous Shikansen, or Bullet trains trains will transport you from city to city at over 100 mph. The Nozomi smoothly traverses the countryside of Japan. Thus the ticket price resembles that of an airline ticket, however this is the ulimate way to save time as well as see a ton of beautiful scenery along the way. There are both Artistc and Touristy attractions/stops planned throughout the trip, ranging in mood and type. Overall it is somewhat of a Naturistic vacation with highlights on Japanese and other asain cultures style and taste.
