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?
