Title: Japan holiday.
Post by: gjoerulv on 2015-09-18 05:49:42: Me and a friend have considered japan as a destination as a holiday trip. Any recommendations? I could imagine hot springs and stuff.

Scratch holiday; its more like a getaway and have fun trip.

Break into SquareEnix and steal FF8 engine source code. Many will pay you for this, and that'd be so much fun.

The Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower. Lots of other buildings with views (just check Google), including the government building in Shinjuku.

What makes you think they would still have that? They even lost their source code to their newer games like Kingdom Hearts which they had to build from scratch

What makes them throw away source codes that much? Its annoying.

Post by: gjoerulv on 2015-09-24 07:54:34: I'm open for suggestions. We would by no means be bound by 1 place only. Rental cars etc.

Post by: ficedula on 2015-10-08 12:16:49: Just got back from 2 weeks in Japan, so I have a few suggestions ;) Even if OP is going to LA instead, for anyone else who wants suggestions for Japan:

Tokyo: http://www.ninjaakasaka.com/top_main.html - Not cheap, but the food is brilliant. Also, ninja.

Stay in a traditional ryokan for a night. We stayed in Ryokan Izuyasu (http://www.agoda.com/ryokan-izuyasu/hotel/kyoto-jp.html?asq=jGXBHFvRg5Z51Emf%2fbXG4w%3d%3d) which also had brilliant food.

Kyoto: http://www.samurai-kembu.jp/

We went to a sumo wrestling tournament, too - surprisingly good fun. (Probably helped that they had a good few girls with barrels strapped to their back wandering around to ensure a constant supply of beer...)

http://www.gnavi.co.jp/en/ is your friend for finding izakaya, which you want to do.

One tip I would give is always have more things lined up for a day, than you think will be needed. That way if you get somewhere and decide 'actually, this isn't as amazing as I thought', you've got an alternative place to go / things to do - rather than just being stuck somewhere with nothing interesting going on. Guess that applies outside of Japan, too ;)
