Hi, I'm an english teacher here in korea and planning on going to Japan for three days. I was hoping there was someone on here who could give me some tips.

1) If you had three days in Tokyo what would you see? Where would you stay?


2) If you only had three days in Japan which city would be the most immersive culturally and for sight seeing?

3) What kind of place is Fukokoa?

Thanks!

Kyoto/Nara (maybe even a little time in Osaka) but anymore than three days and you`ll be jack of it.

1) Insides of trains and subways, a couple of temples and shrines that are
way too crowded and not any more exciting than other temples and
shrines in other parts of Japan, and lots of extremely hot girls walking
around in very short shorts.

I'd stay in the cheapest business hotel I could find near Shinjuku
Station. That way, I could stay out late in Shinjuku without worrying
about last train.

2) Visit the cultural and historical highlights of the Kansai region the first
day and then head up to Kanazawa for a couple of days.

3) Fukuoka's a great place for an extended stay; average for a short trip.
