AWESOME, Glad to see you made it to Himeji! What did you think? I took pics of lots of the nekos also, don't know why.... lol

jdmnismo: Dont stay in Tokyo if you want to really experience Japan. Yes a few days are necessary to feel the insane speed of Tokyo life and see all the cliche places, but its really a joy to see the small towns, historic spots and travel around a bit. Most of the tracks are located out in the boonies in really really beautiful countryside. Get a railpass before you leave and you have UNLIMITED bullet train use. Tokyo-Osaka will cost you over $200 alone, ONE-WAY! PM me and I'll hook u up with some friends for a run on the Tokyo loop highway and check out Daikoku too.
