i will be heading to the 'land of the rising sun'. There is even a countdown to THE very day in my blog.(*hehe) Man! Am i so excited? you betcha! I'm a japan virgin (haha!)

So just wanna ask if there is any bloggers who been there or residing in japan to give me any recommendations-MUST do, MUST Eat, MUST visit, and MUST watever.

arigato.

In no particular order:

Tokyo Tower
Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancakes with vegetables and whatnot)
Ninja Village in Nagano Prefecture
Nagano City and the old Olympic facilities (since I lived there for three years)
Monkey Park in Nasu
Mt. Fuji (everybody has to climb it at least once)
Ramen (even the Chinese will tell you that the Japanese make the best Ramen)
Snow Festival in Hokkaido (February)

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. There's plenty to do and see here in Japan. I'm still wide-eyed and mystified after being here for several years.

Try going outside Tokyo and visit thie littel villages around the Tokyo Bay, where you can enjoy traditional inns, SPA and local Japanese seafood. There are many bus tours to these locations...check with a tourist agency when you get there
