Japan - Autumn 2005
 

Anyone interested in a trip to Japan - probably starting Kyushu in Southern Japan due to the weather that time of year.

If I were you I'd start at the other end and work down! Hokkaido is beginning to cool down then, so from there as you go further South it will get slightly warmer.

Ho long are you going for?

Sorry for the massive delay......been away and distracted. Point taken on the weather. If I can still do this it will be very soon, but its looking like Europe might be a better idea as I need to be back in the UK by late Sept. I am free from now to then and just starting to get my act together now.... When were you thinking of ? I believe its horribly hot and humid there at the moment, so going further north from Tokyo might make sense. Incidentally, fyi - Japan has recently legalised taking pillions on motorways (it was previously banned, which made some routes difficult as there was no alternative road in some cases). I have some contacts in Japan if you need any help.
