I was there during cherry blossom season maybe 10 years ago. I watched sumo in Osaka, pretty cool. Tokyo is awesome, just everything, everywhere. Hiroshima pretty but sad, Kyoto is beautiful. Went into the mountains and stayed with some monks. Went to a festival up north. Ate lots of Ononomiyaki in Himeji. Climbed stuff. Rode bullet trains. Damn, I want to go back.
Tell me more about the mountain monk stuff? I was hoping to do that in India/Nepal the month previous to Japan but its looking less likely as the trip planning goes on.
