[quote=Anonymous]We used a service in 2006 that provides a free English speaking guide in Tokyo for a day, you pay all the expenses.  I can't recall the website we found her through, but we found it through a Washington Post article in 2006.  We are still friends with her and she has shown other friends of ours around Tokyo over the years.   You get people who want to practice their English.  Our guide had lived in NYC and her English was perfect.  She took us places we would never have thought of ourselves, including a boat ride of tokyo harbor.

Don't be a afraid of the Tokyo subway.  It's fascinating.

Go to Kyoto, and don't be afraid of the public bus system there.  Also, there is a town about an hour away by train that has a beautiful palace, but the name escapes me.

Look into the Japan Rail Pass. You have to buy the voucher before you leave the US, and then you turn it in at the Tokyo airport. It covered our trip into Tokyo from the airport and the roundtrip to Kyoto and that little town whose name escapes me.
