Kevin,
That sounds like a great trip schedule for sure. Who is sponsor/guide of the trip? Save money for Green Club and wear your "drool bucket" ala Saturday Night Live Circa '75 :) For gifts, there are GREAT gift marts in both Kyoto and Tokyo, but Kyoto is a bit bigger. Great place for most non-bonsai gifts to take home and even a few bonsai related artworks. They make and you can watch them do block prints there. Huge selection. Just down the street a tad from the one in Tokyo there is a CHEAP sushi place of the type with the conveyor belt running by and yu can take plates off then they tally up when you leave. CHEAP! I found the breakfasts so great ( especially at the New Miyako hotel in Kyoto across from bus/train station) that i could usually save money by not needing to eat again until evening. :) wish I was going! Regards, Dale Subject: [IBC] Japan Trip February 8th to 17th. It's an organised tour and the elements of the schedule proposed a- ▪ Visit to Kinashi Bonsai Village – the largest Bonsai village in Japan (over 270 gardens) ▪ Visit to Omiya Bonsai Village – Bonsai village near Tokyo ▪ Entry to Kokufu Bonsai-ten – the biggest annual Bonsai event in Japan ▪ Guided tours of Kyoto, Tokyo and Nara (Japan’s former ancient capital) ▪ Visit to Korakuen – one of Japan’s top 3 most celebrated gardens ▪ Travel on Japan’s famous Bullet Train ▪ 8 nights hotel accommodation (4 nights Kyoto and 4 nights Tokyo) ▪ Japanese Breakfast daily ▪ Welcome Dinner on first night of arrival and Farewell Dinner on the last night ▪ Scheduled return non-stop Economy class flights with Japan Airlines ▪ Airport transfers from Osaka Airport to Kyoto on arrival and from Tokyo to Narita Airport (Tokyo New International) on departure ▪ Services of a knowledgeable Japan Journey’s guide throughout Cheers Kev Bailey Vale Of Clwyd, North Wales ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Boon Manakitivipart++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Thanks everyone for the comments, advice and encouragement. I'm certain
to enjoy it, just hope I can fit in a few more of the things I'd really like to do. A photo shoot near Mt Fuji at dawn would be high on my list. A little Suiseki hunt (either shopping or a river bed) would also be nice. Just not certain there will be enough free time. The company is Japan Journeys in London http://www.japanjourneys.co.uk/index.htm and I'm making enquiries about the guide.
