To those, who have been in Japan before, have you had internet on your smartphones? For my traveling, i will need mobile internet for navigation(going to rent a car) and keeping in toutch with friends, im gonna meet.
How expensive would it be to buy a prepaid card for internet for 30 days?

While doing some research, I chanced upon this passage in CNNGo's World's 10 Most Loved Cities article and thought it deserved to be shared here.

Another thing, i cant make myself a picture, yet,
Im gonna stay in Japan for 30 days. About 14 - 16 days of those, im gonna stay at some friends place, which leaves 14 - 16 days, im gonna stay at a hotel/Inns or something. How much money, round about should i prepare? 2000€ are a good level, i can think of? What are your thoughts and experiences about this?

If that is all your money - you'll have to be real frugal. I spent over $2000.00+ on stuff(DVDs, CDs, Figures, and general anime related stuff) I wanted alone last time(5 day stay). You can find real bargains in Akihabara. The hotel was a little expensive, about $800.00 each.(Nice hotel and I had a friend to share the expense) If you travel by train mostly - that's all we used - each ride can cost about 150-250 yen on the average. Right now you have about 201,390 yen at the conversion rate. Remember that that is the business rate and yours will be lower. Oh, conversion page for you. Just use the pull-down menu Euros to Yen: http://money.cnn.com/data/currencies/?iid=H_MKT_QL Food can range from about 550 yen - 1200 yen. We averaged about 600 yen per meal last time. And make sure you exchange your currency before you leave the airport. Much easier. You can use Debit Cards in banks around Japan. Assuming you have one. Hope that helps.

So I will be going in December
Random story my friend told me he booked a trip when he was drunk. Well I couldn't let my friend visit Japan without me and next thing I know, I booked a plane ticket too. This will be my second time but my friends first.

I wonder if it'll be snowing yet? The idea of sitting in an onsen with the snow falling around is awful appealing.. |

Oh! I almost forgot about this thread.
In July and August i have been in Japan for 4 weeks. From Narita, i went to Saitama to meet some friends. From then, to Zao(Miyagi), Matsushima, Osaka, Kobe, Ako, Kyoto, Shirakawa-go, Tusruga, Okayama, Nagoya, Matsumoto, Omachi, Tokyo. But these 4 weeks werent long enough. Im thinking to go again next year, for 3 weeks. Here are some impressions of this year trip. Spoiler for photos:

I am kind of hoping for some snow because that might help with drab winter scenery. We will be going to Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo for sure (maybe Nara). And I'd like to go to Hitoyoshi (but not sure if I will have time for that). No Onsen unfortunately, I don't think my friend is into that. We will be staying in a Ryokan that has public baths though so maybe I can convince him. I wish I could have went when the cherry blossoms were out. Got to see that last time I was in Japan and it was quite lovely. edit: Hitoyoshi is out of the question bc apparently air travel is required. Oh well!

Those pictures are awesome Solafighter. It seems you got to see a whole lot of the country.
Anyways I wonder if anyone can give me advice. I just realized the Omi-Jingu shrine (featured in Chihayafuru) is very close to Kyoto. I think it's in Otsu. I would kick myself if I am that close & can't see it. Does anyone have any advice about going there. Is it quicker from Osaka or Kyoto? I can probably only make a quick trip there but I don't want to miss it.
