How not to see Japan by car
2009-06-28 19:44:00 We've been discussing a planned drive across Japan so that we can see all the best sights without the constraints of a tourist bus. Old castles, shrines, famous roads, and race tracks like Motegi included. Only problem is the language, lack of an English language GPS mapping service, and the great unknown. So we're looking for examples of how to do this - and instead we found an example of how NOT to do this. Lesson learned: take the toll roads, pay the HUGE tolls, don't get caught in the snow on backroads. The bad example that follows is of two Australians who set out to see a drifting event... and have some drifting of their own on snow and ice on the way back. It was a good idea, and the sights are scenic - but unless you're living there (which we won't be), there isn't time for >40 hours of driving for just one destination. 2007 Autumn Drift Matsuri Epic Road Trip (Part 1) from Jos on Vimeo. 2007 Autumn Drift Festival Ebisu Epic Road Trip (Part 2) from Jos on V...

Tips for the Modern Traveler in Japan
2009-06-15 07:43:00 It's 8pm local time, I just came back from a delicious teppanyaki dinner in Ebisu, and I am sitting on my hotel room's balcony, on the 11th floor of the Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo. From my MacBook Pro's speakers, Gábor Szabó is playing The Sorcerer, and I am enjoying the cool breeze of an early rainy season. It's my 16th trip to Japan, and over the years, I have learned a few things that might be useful to people traveling there for the first time, especially when traveling for business purposes. Best affordable hotel in Tokyo One of the best places to stay in Tokyo is the Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo. At $150 a night, it offers amenities that places twice as expensive cannot match. The hotel greets visitors with a stunning view on an exquisite zen garden, and features one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. It's also very conveniently located for easy access to most of Tokyo's business distrists, and just ¥980 away from Shinagawa station, which is served by the Narita Ex...

After sitting on the platform for 15 minutes and collecting curious stares from equally curious and bemasked commuters (everyone looks like a surgeon playing truant), we realised that the previously irrelavant- destination marked upon the carriages in front of us differed from those of three carriages down. Quickly shaking off our blonde moment, we realised that this might be an opportunity to 'get the fuck on the cars marked for Nikko' and get to where we were supposed to be. The journey to Nikko from Asakusa station only took 2 hours (train ticket costs 1320 Yen in each way and are not covered by the JR Pass).We arrived in Nikko at around 9:...

They are racing thoroughbreds and decided to have some fun with us.One came barreling up behind me while I was walking one horse to the barn and if I had been just one inch to the left, I would have gotten run over. Sheesh. Insane beasts lol We celebrated our Thanksgiving on Saturday since my partner had her own family plans on Thursday, and Friday she had to work for a bit so it would have been too late to really start dinner. It was fun to cook it together although she did the cooking part. I have a tendency towards either burning things or blowing them up.The only thing I'm good at in the kitchen is making coffee and bagels, and using a barbeque grill (unless that explodes too.)

Resident Evil 5 On 360, PS3 Each Getting Platform Exclusives In Japan
2008-12-01 21:44:00 Owners of both a 360 and PS3 will face a hard decision when RE5 releases in March. Each console's Resident Evil 5 release will get their own exclusive content specific to the platform. Namco Bandai dared you to pick between Darth Vader and Yoda when it split the two up for the initial release of Soul Calibur 4 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And while they've since (unsurprisingly) patched up that quandary for gamers with a downloadable content release, gamers in Japan with both a PS3 and 360 are going to face another this-or-that decision come March when Resident Evil 5 releases. You'll be finding yourself with some different exclusive goodies depending on which console you decide to play the game on, according to translations of a Japanese Capcom site (via CVG). We've contacted Capcom to find out exactly what their plans are for the North American release and were told they "will be announced soon."For those of you in Japan, don't get too worked up -- we're not talking about...
