I am trying to head to Japan over the holiday break December 29-January 2 to meet up with my friend.

Does anyone have any suggestions for websites that I can book plane tickets on? Any suggestions are welcomed... THANKS.

Also, does anyone know the best form of transportation upon arriving in Japan. I am meeting him in Hiroshima so I am going to fly into that airport. Our meeting spot is a hostel called Jr Hoppers.

Thanks for teh help

Actually, the flights that I checked on Kayak are mad expensive.

Does anyone know where I can check out train tickets to Busan and the ferry times/cost from Busan to Fukouka? I am having trouble finding it online. Thanks

This is the English language website for the high speed ferry. You might need someone who speaks Korean to help you with booking though.

I took it over the summer and really enjoyed the trip.

Try Kangsan Travel, they often have the ferry tickets 25-30% cheaper and have agents who speak English to help you with the timetable

Only Asiana Airlines fly there so probably not really cheap tickets out there.
436,000won after Tax. Just go to any travel agency it will be similar price.
Also the schedule isn't that good arriving at night and leaving in the morning. or good if you go after work?
Anyways it will cost same even if you take a boat and a bus.
