I just checked the Tireste Castle website out and must say that if you are kidding about the "modest" thingy... then I completely understand. This castle would be perfect for J-ref... but they don't rent it out!
At 4 to 8,000 lira per person we could visit it at the same time though. But we should probably focus on the J-ref Tokyo Tour 2003 at this time! Don't ya think?

J-Ref Tokyo Tour 2003
In order to assist Thomas in making plans for the trip to Tokyo/Kamakura, I have started this thread so we might gather input from those members actually interested in joining us there. After voting as to what season would be best for you to travel to Japan in 2003, please post any concerns or...

hehe, the one in South Africa was quite reasonable.
@ castles
My grandmother told me we used to have one in the family way back, except the bloke spent all his money on drinking, women, and gambling. It's now a nunnery. Location is somewhere in Denmark. I wish I knew where.

Lets think more reasonably... shall we?
The J-ref Tokyo Tour 2003 is quickly approaching!
Lets spend our energy looking for a place to stay in the Tokyo/Kamakura area. The Ida Ryogokudo Zazen Dojo might seem like a po-mans castle, but it's something most of us could afford!

That Dojo looks like a nice place to settle in for the tour.
I wish I could join, but probably my best chances for visiting Japan is 2004.

Oh, crap. I voted before I read that you could select multiple items...
-Video games have been my number one hobby since before I could walk.
-Japanese cultule in general interests me very much.
-Japanese food really appeals to me... I want to learn how to make some nice Japanese dishes sometime soon.
-I studied Buddhism for three years and that sparked some interest.
-And finally, I like the way Asian women look.

You've been visiting the wrong castles. Anyone knows this one? It's probably the most famous castle in the world and it was one of the worst names to spell, if you aren't german.

Re: Re: Thomas
Anybody know what a key fee is for? I've seen this on a few ads for places... I think it's mandatory that you must pay it... but ah well...someone tell me otherwise!

It'd take some time explaning the Japanese housing system here. But basically, when you rent a place, you have to pay:
Reservation fee (tetsukekin)
The tetsukekin is paid when you apply for an apartment through a real estate agency, before the actual rental contract is signed. It's a guarantee to you that the apartment will not given to anybody else, and to the agent that you will not change your mind. It is refunded after you sign the lease contract and is usually equivalent to about one month's rent.
Deposit (shikikin)
The deposit is used to cover eventual future damage to the apartment. The deposit minus the cost for repairs is refunded when you move out (in theory). The deposit is usually equivalent to several months' rent.
Key money (reikin)
This is a non-refundable fee to the landlord in the amount of up to several months' rent.
Service fee (chukai tesuryo)
This is a non-refundable fee to the real estate agent in the amount of one month's rent, tops.

my interests in Japan include:
art (ceramics and brush painting), aikido, language, people and culture, food, nutrition (health benefits and other effects of the Japanese diet), cooking, history and literature, kendo (although i have not practiced it, sword work is a big part of aikido), Zen Buddhism - its history and practice, and some others that I can't think of now...
