Going to Japan, need reccomendations
Headed to Japan next month (mid april to early may)!
I don't have a lot planned at the moment apart from the fact that I will be starting in Tokyo and moving up to Hokkaido over a 2 week period. I will probably stop by Aomori for 2 days to check out the sakura festivals. The dates don't really match up anywhere else for viewing the flowers anywhere else.
I'm looking for a legit ryoukan to stay at in hokkaido right now as well as places to eat (Maybe I can get a reservation at Jiro's sushi a month from now if I call now? lol).
If I remember, Subaru is in Gunma, which is a little out of the way, where's Mazda's main location at?
Any places for a good time? Keep in mind the girlfriend is coming too
TIA

Your last line killed most of my good advice.
Hit Subaru Mitaka, its very cool, stuff for sale & the STI museum, ~ 20min walk from Musashisakai Sta (station after Mitaka)
from wiki: Mitaka is a major stop on the JR Chūō Line (中央線). Chūō trains depart from Tokyo Station on platforms 1 and 2 (34 minutes; ¥380), and from Shinjuku on platform 12 (15 minutes; ¥210).
??????CAR DO SUBARU ?????????????????
Cool place for dinner in Tokyo, Ginza, been going here for years, i love the food here & always buy some take away soy sauce & olive oil

My girlfriend suggested we save up for a trip to Japan. She also suggested she would like to sample tho local ladies with me.
I have nothing to suggest other than have fun and be safe!

My advice... buy whatever you need to put that motor from FW in your car.
If you fill up a container bring me some JDM STI headlights... 04/05. Don't think my other dude can fit that in his suitcase. LOL!
