I'm going at the end of this month!

Mostly sightseeing, but there'll be shopping time at Ginza and Shinjuku... anyone knows what are the must-buys? Only know that I should buy Shiseido Majolica Majorca and Kose... I want Burberry blue label also, but no money. -_-

it depends wether u go there for shopping or to go for the japan scenery? i wanted to go to Mt. Fuji though.. =(

I want to go to Akihabara but it's not in the itinerary! *sob* There'll be a f&e day, but will be at Narita... -_- I have a feeling that I'll get lost if I go by train, lol.

I want to get anime merchandise, and electronics stuff.

I'm going to Mt. Fuji... hopefully the weather's good.

Shinjuku is VERY expensive btw hahaha. Oh for Majolica: DFS in Japan is often much cheaper than makeup stores there - we found out the hard way hahaha. Oh well. Japan has nothing much to buy besides foodstuffs? :/ Correct me if i'm wrong lol.

Yeah, u wouldn't want to be stuck there during rush hour. Not to mention the drunken men on board the train after office hours and the AV hunters lurking everywhere. Shopping is indeed costly but their stuff are definitely worth the price and food wise is quite okay. It's not as exp as I thought except for sushi.
