Can anyone who been to Japan or live there can give me ideas where in Japan that I should visit. I was thinking about 3 different places such as Tokyo; which is pretty expensive I heard, Kyoto and Okinawa. Is there any must see places that I would need to visit? I'm still deciding where to visit.

it depends on what you think is "worth visiting"

Greetings ~
I have not been/visited Japan, and like (most) its a place I wish to do so in the future.
Nonetheless, having been to other places, I would suggest that you be ~ "not the tourist, rather the traveller"...
If your intent on seeing - "the usual" - tourist attractions, then yea, so do so, follow the guides that everyone else has...
~ however ~
If your adventurous and want to - "add" - more to your visit (then imo) get the REAL experience of a place your visiting, by travelling/visiting to those ~ "hidden away" ~ places that ONLY the locals know, and the only way to do that is do what your doing here. (or once you arrive) just veer away from the normal schedule you have set for yourself and wander around exploring.
Because if your limiting yourself, you may be missing out on those - "gems" - that most miss while on a set schedule and scheme.
But, there is nothing wrong with following a set itinerary either, as its a start, and during that - visit - you can inquire about those very things mentioned, so that next time you visit, you may wish to add those when you visit again....

If you know how to ride a motorcycle, I recommend that you pack moderate, and rent/lease a bike. Then simply explore the western coast (since the east coast is a little irradiated and smooshed from the tidal effects of March 11th).
Mainly because a motorcycle has better accesability, where as you can get onto narrow mountain roads that other cars can't access. Also, parking it would be a hella easier, especially in the metro areas of the coastal towns. Even Tourist Rest Stops and Scenic Lookouts. A motorcycle can stop at places that cars can't.Happy trails!!

Akiba of course.
Hokkaido is pretty but requires another plane trip
ummmm
Nagano, my hometown. The countryside is beautiful. Green mountains wreathed in fog, and little houses and rice paddies everywhere. And also it's an area affected very little by the earthquake.Posted 4 years ago # -

Cars in Japan are more fun. Uncommonotaku is wrong.

Ohhh yeah; I don't want to be a tourist, I rather actually travel around and well get lost and learn and see new things. Thanks for the advice
Thanks for the tips people ^^

I love the countryside just as long as it doesnt have mosquitoes but countryside are beautiful since the landscape has not been affect by buildings and smokes.
@Uncommon0taku
Haha I wish I could but I talk too fast so they probably would not understand me at all, ohh well. But for the lolis, haha I would not dare. I prefer girls my age; well older than 18 years. Well I do look young so they might mistaken me as a little teenager in his mid teens.Posted 4 years ago # -
if that's so, among the other things you should totally go to Nikko, if you station around Tokyo. That and Kamakura, too; they're both a bit far, but ... well, Nikko's really awesome. It's a sanctuary in between the mountains, it's quiet and charming, not to mention its impressivness. Over there lies the body of the man who once was the greatest of all Japan, the one who conquered all the battling states. The grave itself is in the highest point, guarded by some of the tallest trees you may see around.
Kamakura, instead, it's a city near the sea with plenty of temples... the colours of the various places, especially at sunset, are totally mesmerizing. Albeit all the places worth visiting are so far away from each other you should use a taxi to move from a place to another... well, that or you organize your day and your movements better.
Ah, forgot to mention, in the main square of Nikko there's an "asian grilled meat" restaurant run by an indian guy with his family... his curry is delicious. Not to mention the beef. Ooh, that beef...

I might be willing to e-mail them, though. Msg me with your e-mail address if you want me to send them. Or just Google Nagano and you'll find a bunch.

If you're going for a month you can purchase JR Pass that will help you travel just about anywhere the JR Line goes. If you do that, you can plan your visit on a day-to-day basis. The pass will set you back about $500, but they also offer cheaper passes if you're not going to be in Japan for very long.

Thanks for that tip!
I actually (just watched) - Tetsuko no Tabi (Train Stations) - and I was intrigued by the JR pass option as it was detailed in the animu.
Plus some of the train stations looked interesting as well...

I had no idea it was in an anime lol. When I went to Japan in '07, I had to buy the pass directly from a JAL location where I live here in the US along with my flight ticket. I'm not sure if its any different now.
And it really was the best way to travel when I was in Japan. I went from Chiba/Ibaraki, to Tokyo, to Osaka/Kyoto, to the boondocks in Toyama in the Sea of Japan. And everything is only a few hours away, and with train costs what they are over there, you'll end up saving a ton of yen for more important items like doujinshis and hug pillows!

one of my favorite places was a shrine that was near the base of Mt Fuji in Fujinomiya. great view, amazing looking shrine (especially when the cherry blossoms were blooming) and some of the best yakisoba i ever had. little out of the way, have to get off the main JR line in Fuji City and catch a usually very crowded train but worth it imo
