YOU. ME. JAPAN. Anytime you want (with two months' advance notice) in 2013, Spring or Fall preferred, for anywhere between 8 to 10 days. I'll pick you up from and drop you off at the airport. I will pay for *ALL* your food, transport and lodging. I will interpret for you (which usually costs hundreds of dollars a day). I will take you to awesome places in Japan and feed you great regional food. Like geek stuff? We'll spend a day or two in Akihabara, visiting manga shops, figure stores, cat cafes. Interested in history and culture? We'll go to temples and shrines. Like to walk? We'll take mountain trails and see a side of Japan few encounter. You tell me what you're interested in, I'll set the itinerary (within reason), and pay for it all from start to finish. You have to pay your way to Narita airport and back: I can assist in finding you a good travel agent. I cover everything in Japan. This also assumes that you are in general good health (can walk 2-4+ miles a day) and don't have an extremely restrictive diet. If either is not the case, contact me beforehand and I'll see what I can do. If you want to bring up to one significant other or friend, contact me and I'll give you an updated price. You will also receive 5 copies of Tenra Bansho Zero, enough for your entire group: 100 Japanese kanji dice, and all the rewards of the Historian set, as well as advance electronic copies of all of our future releases. You will not receive one Japanese furoshiki wrapping cloth in advance; instead you'll simply pick one out for yourself from the traditional store that sells them in Kyoto when we're there.
