      Ahhh, I'm absolutely unable to do something like this by myself. If no one can tell me, I'll ask lift

        considering a trip to Japan over the Thanksgiving period in mid-late November. thinking ~10 days, will spend half our time in Tokyo and trying to decide where to spend the other 50% of our time. been to Osaka/Kyoto/Nara but wouldn't mind visiting again, also considering Kanazawa. any recommendations on places to visit for food, shopping, general site-seeing?

          Not much to do in kanazawa I went to Nara last month and it was worth it.

          For a culinary experience I recommend osaka the food there is on another level compared to tokyo

                sorry to bring it back up, but does anyone know when the New Year's sales dates are for the major stores? Have been in the past and remember it's early Jan, but forget when exactly, and also remember that Isetan went on sale a week or so later than the flagships and other department stores.

                going at the end of the year on a trip with my mum (I'm shocked too), she's a sale monster so it's kinda crucial I get these dates right

                edit: I found that most department stores and some flagships go on sale 2-3 jan, and isetan is the 18th. thanks anyways people!

                  any recommendations for place to eat around Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka would be appreciated. also any tips on where to get a haircut around Tokyo, preferably experienced with long, curly-ish hair.

                    Google "burned ramen kyoto" - it's a must.

                        Gogyo Ramen in Kyoto was awesome E, best ramen we had in Japan (and we had more than a couple of bowls on our trip). like ramen infused with Malaysian char kway teow, so good and so high in cholesterol..

                          I concur and I think it's probably the best ramen I have had period.

                            it's close between them and Toki Underground in DC (non-traditional ramen, do try them if you're ever in DC for god knows what reason) for myself.

                              Bunga bunga in Shibuya, best yakitori I've had. Also tried that Michelin star ramen, broth was insane.

                                Unless I'm reading wrong, it says there's also a branch in Tokyo. Has anyone been?
