Can anyone recommend a good travel agency in Japan, preferably one where I can get service in English?

So far, I have researched, HIS Travel and Sta Travel.

Thanks, in advance! Cool

No. 1 Travel (maybe the same as HIS?) is OK. Their website is http://www.no1-travel.com/. They speak English and have good rates. I just booked through them. I was a bit disappointed, though, because it took them so long to confirm my flight (you pay a deposit before they tell you the exact time/airline) that my connecting flights got all screwed up.

Hey Denise,

Thanks for the info. I called no.1 and they were very friendly and spoke english! However, STA seems to be the cheapest so far.

Do anyone have any other suggestions?

I recently found STA to be the cheapest on a complicated (not that that complicated really, just a bit different from simple 5 days in thailand) ticket.

I definitely recommend phoning or emailing around though because after a while you'll know more about the various airlines and tickets than most agents know themselves and you can suggest they check various routings, companies etc.
