yes i've been there F&E

and i wonder who says there's no direct flight???

flew there on ANA, night flight somemore so saved one night hotel

how budget are you looking at?

the cheapest i can find is those YMCA like kind, which you share a big dorm with others

i opt for a 3* kind of hotel, it's the toyoko inn chain

reasonably priced i'd say, and at convenient locations

no need to buy rail pass, until you plan to travel far and wide in japan

try taking a bullet train to kyoto, and don't forget to visit kiyomisu temple

if the sakura is still blooming, it's a beautiful place

a pix i took when i was there in mar/apr 06

It's Denden Town. It's not as fantastic as Akihabara but decent nonetheless.
