We are planning on going to Japan in April or May. Does anyone have any suggestions? In particular: 1) Given the Expo '85 that will open in March, will it be particularly crowded, or is this as good a time as any to go? Will airfares be higher (as they were to LA during the Olympics)? 2) What should we be sure to see that won't be on the standard itinerary? (We'll be taking an escorted tour, but will have some time on our own.) 3) What should we be sure to take (especially relating to expected weather conditions)? I would presume that film is available relatively cheaply; is there anything else of that sort we should wait and buy there? 4) We are not greatly interested in shopping, but assuming we want to buy some small souvenirs for family, etc., is there someplace in particular to go (like a single department store or something)? Does anyone know of any science fiction bookstores in Tokyo or Kyoto? Evelyn C. Leeper ...{ihnp4, houxm, hocsj}!ahuta!ecl
