Andy@Tokyo Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Kusatsu & Nikko. 2day-1nite trip-----------------------------------------1) From Tokyo to KusatsuWe went there by car but I would just put up a link on 'How to go to Kusatsu'Access-Recommended place to stay in KusatsuRather putting up at the hotels/Ryokan, I would recommend Pensions, for economical reasons. They are much cheaper. We stayed at the pension, MY WAY, which costs only 7500yen per person per nite. Includes an eat-all-u-can Nabe/Sukiyaki Dinner and breakfast. Recommended places to stay can also be found under this Stay 2)World's treasure in Nikko3) Others (hyperlinked to subfolders in food and pets)--------------------------------------------------------------Some jap FOOD-Cute Dogs-AND PLANTS hehe-Machines 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erection day Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I love the pictures. :thumb: And also some of the colourful commentaries.Like 'This artist is really good, i thought, look at his penis.. i meant his drawing' or'even the drain got steam come out '. Well done! I enjoyed reading it very much. It just lacked one thing- where are the (naked) men!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy@Tokyo Posted November 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks ED! I didnt take this time, (naked pics of men) . actually at the Onsen, it is not allowed. But, if u are thick-skinned and u act blur like tourist, u can just bring ur cam into the onsen and snap a few shots. I tried the other time....... :oops: wow if anyone else had tried taking pics of nake people at the onsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akated Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 more pics to tempt crocodile:(these are taken at nikko, but not at tosho-gu, which andy showed; they are pics of futarasan-jinja, which is another temple complex built during the tokugawa era)personally i liked futarasan-jinja more than toshogu cos the former is less ostentatious, whilst still retaining a sense of grandeur. However, both are worth a visit to experience the japanese Quote jingle-bitch screwed me overgo to hell jingle-whorego to hellgo to hellgo to he-l-l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
