Did you have any difficulty in finding subway stations, for example? If so, what kind of tools do you think would be helpful in traveling in Japan?

I'm looking to buy a bike for touring which I can load up with a tent, sleeping bag, clothing etc. Are there any shops in Tokyo that stock touring bikes?

Traveling to Japan from the US.  Do I need to get an adapter in order charge my camera or phone?

I can see there is a website for it, would love to hear if anyone has given this a go...

Here's a favourite I found - Inagaki near Sky Tree. Seems popular amongst locals, and the food was delicious.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

I have a friend coming to town, want to take him somewhere memorable :)

Hello! I will probably be in either Kobe or Himeji on July 7th, I’ve just seen that this coincides with Tanabata! Any recommendations on where or how I can best appreciate this?

Has anyone taken this? What was the experience like? 

Seems like this is the place where the freaks come out -- in a good way! What are some of the sights you've seen at yoyogi, besides the park?

Recommended tours for islands in Kyushu?

Did anyone cycle through the Shimanami Kaido and could tell me which are the best islands to stay for th night among the 6 islands?

Another question about Shimanami Kaido, where are the best beaches to swim?
Thanks!
