Who wants to go to JAPAN?

Alright so here's the deal. I'm heading to Japan in mid July - Mid August, and I had a buddy who was going to come with me till money starting to become a problem. Now here's the real problem, if I was going to just look at temples & museums I'd be fine, but I'm not, I'm going to enjoy all the things that I can't experience here, things like mountain roads and hot springs and mountain roads, food and mountain roads ( I'm still gonna do the other stuff..... kinda lol), but having a travel buddy who's really into driving, NOT JUST INTERESTED but INTO, NOT CURIOUS but INTO DRIVING would just be the best!

I have most things set up , and bonus for you, you save lots of $$$$$, just take care of your flight/food/shelter and your good to go.

Quick run down of myself: Male, 24, into cars/racing amoung other things, listen to all types of music etc.

Cheers!

Rough idea on how much the total trip would cost? Do you drink/go out/like women?

My son and I are going next year over Memorial Day week. Going with friends who speak the language and have family over there. Staying near Tokyo and budgeting $5K each for a 10 day trip, assuming that we "may" need to supply our own lodging.

I went 2 times in 2008. Once in Jan for 1 month. Once in July for 1 month. I spent $5000-$6000 first time, and $4500 2nd time. I went easy the 2nd time because I went to singapore right after.

I plan on going again next year if possible. Probably for work/race event.

I know this is a serious question, I mean you have to ask (haha)...its just funny/awkward to read.



I'm going to China next summer; I've always wanted to walk on the great wall. No plans for the JDM land, one day.

Cmon down to Black Mountain, NC, I'll show you some little-known mountain roads with enough switchbacks to make your head spin, and best oif all - no cops

A motorcycle, specifically a ZX-10R, is my preferred vehicle for negotiating these roads faster than any car short of a GT2 can manage....no plane trip, no right hand drive, no jap food, thousands of dollars saved
