[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did a similar trip to visit friends in Tokyo 12 or so years ago.  Here is what I would do:

1) Start and end your trip in Tokyo, but use the excellent train system to head to Kyoto and at least one other city, maybe a more rural remote city to get some variety.

2) We went to Tokyo Disney Sea and loved it!  It is a very unique theme park that is like nothing else in the world.  Tokyo Disney itself it exactly like magic kingdom / Disneyland.

3) Getting around is easy, the signs aren't in English exactly, but they use Arabic letters so you can read and pronounce them.  Having a local to help you out will be a big plus as well.

4) You don't / won't need a driver you can take the bus / train / subway almost any place you need to go.

5) It is hot, but so is DC in the summer.  It isn't any worse than DC.  Just mix indoor and outdoor things.  There are some excellent museums in Tokyo, we particularly liked the Edo-Tokyo Museum.

6) The food in Japan is amazing.  Be adventurous and try everything.  Many places have menus with pictures or English menus as well to help you pick.

I’m an Arabic speaker and didn’t see Arabic script in Japan.  I do remember seeing transliterated Latin script though.   [/quote]

As a frequent traveler to Japan, I think they meant Roman characters ("Romaji" in Japanese).

However, I've found this more common in China (phonetic spelling in Roman characters of local language), not Japan. In Japan, it's usually in English. This increased even more in preparation for the Olympics.[/quote]
