Question:
My best friend and I are really trying to go to Japan this December, we want to try to stay from Dec23-Jan2. Basically New Years and Christmas. I've done student exchange there and I have a couple solid friends to meet when I do go back. What steps do we need to take to make this a memorable trip and lots of fun? places to go? things to try?..things to eat? etc... Please any of your opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Answer:
The must see cities in Japan are Tokyo and Kyoto. Attractions in Tokyo include the Asakusa district famous for Sensoji temple and Nakamise shopping street; Meiji Shrine; The Imperial Palace; Ginza and Harajuku.

Things to do in Japan
Visit an Onsen
Stay in a Ryokan (traditional inn)
Watch a Sumo Tournament
Try some real sushi
Check out the various and unusual vending machines
Try out a high tech toilet
Visit the Temples and Shrines
One thing to be aware of is the most important holiday in Japan is New Year (Oshougatsu), where much of the country shuts down from December 30 to January 3.
