The current plan is to head down to Kyoto and Nara and then Okinawa stopping along the way then come back to Tokyo and spend a bunch of time there. It’s my first time in Japan so I’m mainly relying on my friend who has been there a bunch to drive the trip a bit.

Bemidji is named after a native american chief I think, it’s an odd name though and I think every time I tell someone the name I have to spell it. :-)

Have you been to Japan / Have places you recommend?
