Or only I guess I'd also maze under its it which are local area products. Which are the pride of many prefectures in Japan. So first I would like to talk about how well resources that you can you. First I would like to tell you about several websites but I think are very useful and I tend to use more than others there are many many resources out there and I'm sure each of you has her own special website do you like to use but I was kind of tell you but the ones I enjoy using.
First of all. First time I came to depend on just a trip not to live was about 13141314 years ago on I came through a summer school program that was offered through my university. Down. It was a really great and good at the time there were not as many web based resources for travel so eyebrow it's one of these big thick. I have the books with me and has information on everything you know it's it's suitable and and very helpful who it's very heavy and they can tend to be a very expensive running anywhere from this month about 25 to $50 or so. If you want to use a book like this I would recommend going to your local library and photocopying the pages. Do you need because you don't really need to buy them and it will just take up space in your luggage.
But they are very helpful for the base. This one actually received from my end at this spring when she came. I kind of organized a tumor this spring from my aunt and my uncle who came out by cruise ships Japan actually was a and Asian crews and they came with a group of people and I arranged to where I'm out of Kobe and not a lot and Kyoto which were really great and I in fact use the websites and I'm going to talk about next. So the first website actually my favorite website used when traveling and.
The Japanese national tourist organization website. Impacts 13 years ago when it was right came here I went to the Japanese national tourist organization office in San Francisco. In order to get free information on places to stay places to see on this very but now. Their online and off for a lot of information. On places to see festivals where to stay and what to eat everything is on the website and I will post news web sites and the. Information section brother of the. For the post but also but that will be in the post flash them.
And first of all I'd like to mention they have these wonderful PDF format travel guides for many many areas of Japan's. So many it's unbelievable on this one right here is for it Takayama and Chicago actually went there last weekend because we're in between 2 holiday weekends I last weekend yeah a holiday for called Kato though he which is respect for the aged day and this weekend will be to go into heat which is the autumn equinox. So it's kind of fun time to travel because it's not too cold yet it's gonna but it's kind of cooling down so it's not as hot at summer so it's really nice time and trouble but it whether it's about the Holocaust again so I printed off the Takayama and share a common goal on PDF form from the Japanese national service organization.
And I really enjoy using their guides and recommends using them because. They have really detailed nice detailed maps of the areas that they. That they cover they give you information on annual events and festivals that are going on how to get there access on by DR train probably by playing this well but usually by train and it gives you the time and. The cost of the fair play train system is it really this really useful. And they also tell you about the places of interest on how much admission is ours that sort of thing. I hope. In addition they also. I have a company says they list accommodation that about how much they're gonna cost. They have the room rate you have little yeah and sign actually it's kind of funny because depending on the level of the hotel that you the number of yen goes up so if you are never really budgeted budgeted. Budget budget president have you heard of budgets home you you might want to stay at one of the one yet inside but that one there too up to 3 and I think is the most expensive and they have a little keyed on here telling you which ones are like real Collins which ones are hostels tons or motels hotels that sort of thing so these travel guides are tossed. A great resource please use it.
Another resource that I really enjoy using is actually a rock attend trouble and I have website in English and in Japanese of course and I just looked at the website today seems like they've expanded their English version of their one and you can reserve places online without having to pay ahead of time. Which is greatly Expedia.com and those others on the other ones you have to pay had time and if you have to change its kind of inconvenient 0 and P. that's kind of. Like that sort of thing anyway on some of the places on wrecked in trouble and you have to maybe pay 1 yen deposit or something like that which you know I wouldn't mind paying 1 yen over you know the whole. Many different kinds of our package options where you can get dinner included a breakfast included islands usually trying get one with breakfast included which is what I did last weekend when I stated Takayama on it with that morning biking gave the cult of Viking it's actually still buffet or smorgasbord and where I stayed with the talk on the green hotel and had a great morning with a Japanese style and western style breakfast buffet on most places that I reserve tend to have those and then you just great just eat and then you go and that's very convenient.
So I'm definitely try Iraq 10 trouble if you would like to find a place to stay in Japan they have many different price ranges. Of course I'll be your cheapest. Accommodation will be a youth hostel or you can do a home stay if you want to stay for a longer amount of time. Also food in Japan can be a very expensive and so there is a slight are several where name gourmet sites where you can get find coupons for like 10 to 15 percent off. On a place to eat dinner or you can get like a free service strength free glass of wine it's your birthday they give you a kind of it 3 little cake or something if it's your birthday. It's called in English from the coroner main have guide and I looked at their English site today and it seems like they have expanded their options as well before they didn't have as many and I was looking for some of the places that I use from the Japanese side and they did however unlike what they have in there they just.
The band or do they think orders I want to go there what is it Soames is thinking that they haven't put in all the information in English but I actually found a favorite izakaya in Syria so I. Tend to spend a lot of time in Syria because number one my GM is there and on the weekends as a part time job I have many private students and I I usually meet them in the afternoons in the super ya and you see a commingle area so one of the places I really like to go and it's easy to think quickly like that or something is called John got should be. Should be a Tonka or. And that how about you think really it's a kind it's typically. Print out these coupons.
The early keep on there and it also comes printed with a map which is very helpful seek and find your way there from Lake Superior station here's a restriction that you can see it so this is also another very very helpful site and I. Recommend you use it because there many many sites like I said before but these are the ones I tend to use. Use the buttons. So.
