It seems like a few of us are heading over to Japan this autumn. Some will be staying longer than others. I am going October 15 for 8 days. Most of my time will be in Tokyo. My tentative plans are (in part):

1. Visit the Bandai Museum.
2. Visit Yokohama. While there, I plan to interview a former Godzilla suit actor who has opened his own sushi restaurant.
3. Visit friends at Toho Co.
4. Visit friends in Nagoya.

What do you plan to do?

I'll be going to Osaka in October for at least a year. I have an obsession with castles and churches, so I'm sure I'll visit every castle and temple I can. I'm really looking forward to seeing Kyoto too. I'll definitely be getting to Tokyo as often as I can as well. I've been told not to miss the Ghibli Museum there. Way too many things I want to see to list here.
ArmandIV, thanks for the tip. I didn't know there was a bandai museum. I'll certainly get there too. (I'm a big Godzilla and Ultraman dork) Are you writing a book on Toho or Godzilla?

The Bandai Museum is near the Matsudo station on the Joban Line.
