Hello everyone!

Hello there my name is florian but you can call me tchok!
i'm new on this forum and i wanna ask aquestion or 2:
I'm a french 21 yo student and i'm coming in japan for 2 weeks from july the 5th. This is my first trip in japan and i wanna see the most possible. that's why i wanna know if anyone would be interested in helping me one day or 2 when i'll arrive at tokyo!

Maybe my thead is a little confuse and i'm sorry 'bout that but this is not my computer and i haven't got much time so sorry again

see if you can purchase the lonely planet tokyo (or lonely planet japan) guide... they're very good and include lots of useful maps and points of interest. i don't know if they offer a french edition, but the english versions are available from amazon france.

Looks like you'll be in the same boat as I am. I'll be arriving in Japan on July 3rd for 2 weeks. Except I'm pretty lucky cause my uncle lives there, he teaches on one of the army bases, so I can use his house for a homebase. I'll be going to Tokyo with him cause he knows it pretty well, plus he's eccentric so he'll be able to show me some cool places.

After that I'll probably take off for a couple days at a time keeping what I need in a hiking backpack and travel since I picked up a two week Jalpass. Yup every few days or so head back to his house and restock and take off again. Also my Girlfriends currently there studying so I'm set cause I'll see her on the weekend.

It is a good Idea to buy a book or two, and also a map of the country. Hopefully my preparation will pay off.

Have a good time and best of luck
