Hi All
I’m taking a two week Japanese course in Tokyo in August (2012) and will be there for a total of three weeks. I’m planning to get a JR Pass for the last two weeks and travel to Kyoto, perhaps a couple other places on the weekends, and as many day trip locations as I can.
Does anybody have any suggestions for interesting places to go, or must-eat-at restaurants? As a side note, I’m planning to study Japanese history during the Occupation and immediate post-Occupation periods, so if anyone has ideas related to that, they would be doubly appreciated.
(Though obviously any tips at all are appreciated.)
Thanks!

Japan-Guide forum is a lot busier than this forum and covers a wide variety of areas. TF is mainly for learning Japanese.
I can’t give any specific suggestions, as I’ve never been, but I generally find a good way to explore a place is to go geocaching – I’ve seen some wonderful places through ‘caching that I wouldn’t have otherwise.
If you watch everything in this video, you will find out all the things you need to see in Kyoto other than 金閣寺

That is a very nice video :p
Could also just watch 「横山由依がはんなり巡る京都・美の音色が放送になります！」 though those episodes are quite a bit longer lol.
