Some Options:

Taito Ryokan - http://www.libertyhouse.gr.jp/
located in Taito-ku
$27.38 a day, per person (tax included)
(recommended by brandileighSakura Hotel - http://www.sakura-hotel.co.jp/Read more... )

So here are my preliminary thoughts:

passport: $85
flight: $1200 (including tax, title & license) ^_^
Ryokan (Inn): $30 a day (including tax) times 6 days = $180
Food & Misc: $100 (HIGH estimate) times 6 days = $600

Grand Total for whole trip = $2065

Spending 6 days in Japan with your friends = PRICELESS

All I know is that I feel better about myself. I am getting into the habit of working out. It's no longer a chore. I just go. Also, I am doing pretty good eating-wise. Jason and I went to ( Read more... )

Well...I thought that starting a new journal to keep track of my dieting might be a good thing. I can keep track at home or work. If I think of something I can post it and not lose it in endless paperwork ( Read more... )
