I am looking to go to Japan during the Winter break. Does anyone know where in Japan is close to the airport and I can take a bus to a place to stay. I am not looking for a hotel or hostel? This type of place(the name escapes me) is like a boarding house and it is clean and cheap. The location would have to be close enough to see historical sites and easy enough to find my way around by bus and train. I would like to see Hiroshima or Nagasaki and a sumo match. I may want to visit Toyko once. I may be going by myself so I want to make it as easy as possible to find my way around. I am looking to spend 5 days there and if anyone knows of a travel agent that speaks English in Korea that does everything and not just the flight that would be great also.  |

You must be a troll, right? |

Which airport do you mean? What city?
There's the (I think somewhat outdated) list of English-speaking travel agents in a sticky thread of this forum. It would be easy to write out what you want, then send a mass email to all of them and see what they say. |

the other airport Haneda is closer and cheaper to get into the city actually. |

| Get the ferry from busan if youre sticking to the south of the country. The clean places youre after are business motels. Theyre all around every major train station. If you have to choose a big city i honestly have no idea why everyone fetishizes tokyo. Osaka is way better anyway, plus youre at the heart of japan and can hit kyoto and nara if you want a bit of culture. Itll keep all your costs down too because you wont be buying a flight and youll be staying pretty much at the one side of japan. Tokyo is nice, but ropponghi is a sewer, and the whole getting around is a gigantic pain. Also and more importantly, kansai people are way nicer. |

i love the kansai region. osaka, kyoto, nara, kobe.
hiroshima is also within easy striking distance if you base yourself in osaka or kyoto. |
