The List

We know we won't have time to see everything, so we didn't plan out every minute spent in the major cities (Kyoto, Tokyo).  However, there are some things that we would regret not experiencing, so here's a list of the things we hope to accomplish while we're there:

• Konyoku Onsen (Mixed-bathing hot springs)
• Sumo (we've already got tickets for the tournament in Fukuoka)
• Shinkansen (Bullet train ride)
• Temples and Shrines
• Gion District, Kyoto (can we glimpse geisha or maiko?)
• Flea Market shopping in Tokyo (souvenirs and fashion!)
• Akihabara in Tokyo (geek and anime district)
• Karaoke Bar
• Food, lots and lots of good food
• Wagyu (high-grade Japanese steak)
• Fresh sushi
• Random food stalls
