have you got a japan rail pass mate?

unbelievably good value, pays for itself after about 2 trips.

in kyoto - after you've done all the temples and shit, go to kyoto ramen street on the top floor of the Isetan department store before you get back on the train, farken killer

defo go to hiroshima - the a-bomb museum is depressing as hell but it's an amazing city, the food is off the chain. go to miyajima while you're there - see some deer and shit.

few restaurants i always go to when there:

en shinjuku ten: https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Resta...ure_Kanto.html

shinjuku ramen tomiya: just near the station, place rips, the chick is heaps hot too: https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Resta...ure_Kanto.html

there's a video darts place down the road called "darts up". video darts slaps, the greatest booze sport in the world

if you get to fukuoka, this place is mad: https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ShowU...u_Okinawa.html

try and get to korakuen hall for an NJPW event if you can
