We are gearing up for our trip to Japan. It is very exciting. We have the hotels booked now, so we are pretty much all set. We have been exchanging some money beforehand since the cash machines in Japan are not connected well internationally.

We will visit Tokyo, Nikko, Toyama, Kyoto, and Izumo. We are planning on seeing some new places in Kyoto. There is so much interesting stuff to see near Kyoto that it shouldn't be hard.
