... er, tomorrow, I guess.
Anyway, I'm flying from SF to Tokyo at 1:45pm today... landing sometime on Thursday, Nihon-time. I'll be traveling by myself, so if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. First time in Japan!
I booked a room at the Sakura Hotel north of the Imperial Palace... basically, because I didn't know where else to stay, but I heard decent enough things about it.
Excited!!!

Train advice
Sun, May 27, 2007 - 6:43 PMIs there a follow-up on your trip?
Too late for Tommy but one tip on arriving at Narita is to not buy your JR tickets from the offices on the same floor as you exit immigration/customs (where the currency exchange is). Instead take the stairs down into the JR station. Find the JR ticket office and buy a Narita express/Sucia combined ticket. You save a few dollars off the normal Narita express price and end up with a Sucia card with 2000 yen on it. It's one of the few transit deals that's worth it. Officially, you can just buy one and need a foreign passport with a tourist visa in it. However when I asked for the deal, the clerk asked "how many?"
