Richf Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We are off to Japan for 2 weeks in June , cant wait. What the issue with breakfast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack wellZ Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 You will love it! But it will be very hot so be prepared. The issue with breakfast is that they have nothing to accommodate for English to be honest so I just pick at stuff then go to the restaurants around lunch time, if your in a good hotel you might be alright. Have a good trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yeah im expecting it to be warm , limited options on when we can go though. We have some nice hotels planned , think we are in a Hilton group in Tokyo, also visiting Hiroshima, Kyoto and a couple of smaller places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Emergency breakfast! Find diners like Jonathan's and you pay a set fee for choice of breakfast and as much drinks as you like. The breakfast options include pancakes etc. Disclaimer: this was ten years ago when I was living there!

Jack wellZ Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 went to Kyoto today, went to see the 2 biggest shrines unfortunately missed out on going to see the tori gates, maybe next time. Tokyo is really fun the sales yesterday was a madness though! But I saw a 350z today finally! Also a 370 and 34gtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Was a Japanese guy who used to have fish and a beer every morning for breakfast - sat very smartly in his suit and tie necking a pint! Tokyo is mega expensive place to own a car, might find more luck spotting sports cars in smaller cities? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same routines with my friends here who are like you. I brought 10kg lidl vintage cheddar over for my mate who lives here as it's not on the menu here.

Good for me too, Im just eating sushi, 1/4 UK prices! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dearly hope when I'm out there I witness a waiter at a restaurant drop a bowl of this on someone's head and exclaim "Mi-soo clumsy!". I hope that's not classed as borderline racism. And if it is then I'm sorry! S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-G- Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I was in Japan pretty much constantly from 2007 through to 2009 & I'm not exaggerating when I say that wasn't enough time to see everything I wanted to. Bite the bullet & arrange a return visit taking in some of the other sights you missed, you won't regret it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack wellZ Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Man that sucks! Would love to go to the nismo hq if only I had found that earlier but leaving tomorrow morning so don't have time now 😠I love this place I don't wanna go home! And I saw a black 350z in Kyoto so definetley out of the Tokyo area for cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 From what I remember some people in Tokyo were paying hundreds of pounds a month to store cars off street, cost of ownership in Tokyo is so high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 RichF - when are you in Tokyo? I'm there 15-21 June and trying to arrange a trip to the 'not open to the public' Nissan Heritage Collection. If you're there at the same time let me know and I can see if anyone at Nissan UK HQ might put a good word in for a 350z-UK members visit! Annoyed I've left sorting this so late! S.

Bockaaarck Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Squee / Rich, you guys are going to love Japan / Tokyo so much. We are planning to head back there in a year or so. I would recommend checking out the Backstreet Guides ( http://www.thebackstreetguides.com/) If you have time. We had a private guide out to Kamakura (which was stunning) and another 1/2 day private tour around some of the older parts of Tokyo. The guides were great and it really helped understand a bit more detail and culture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
