Hello! This is my first post here =)
I'm gonna travel to Japan in the end of this year and it's my first trip. As I'm going alone, I'm a little bit afraid ... so, if you could give me some advices I would thank you very very much.
I'm planning a 7-days trip. I looked at some guides on the Internet and I saw that usually people do the trip around Tokyo-Kyoto . But I feel lost (?) because I have no idea about things such as how I'm going to arrive in the places (and what places) or where I'm going to sleep or if my low budget is enough to cover the expenses (how much do you think is the minimum to survive and get some fun?)...
About how much I speak Japanese, I think I can speak as much as I talk in English... Not fluently (there are many things I don't know how to say) and I still have some difficult in reading kanji (I think I know only those that appear 'til 3kyuu of Nouryokushiken - though I'm going to take the 2kyuu this year ). About me: I'm 20 and I'm interested in sight-seeing and in visiting science museums, if it's possible. Nice to meet you.
Some questions:
-> is Visa Travel card accepted in most places? (or did anyone experience it?)
-> is it possible to get accommodation in that youth hostels without booking it in advance? In order to sleep in this kind of place it is necessary to become a membership [of the organization?]?
-> I saw in one of the last posts that it's possible to sleep in karaoke boxes or manga kissa (what is this?). Is it usual?
-> is it too cold? How expensive is to get some good coat in some store? (by the way, can you recommend some places to buy cheap clothes?)
For now, that's it...
Thanks a lot.
