Lots of awesome castles and shrines in Kyoto and quite a bit around Himeji as well. I had an awesome history holiday when I was over there last!
Near Hakone in the vicinity of Mt Fuji is a sekijou. Which they rebiult, its pretty much a travellers checkpoint set up in the Tokugawa era and is fascinating to walk around. there is also one of the Toy Museums in Hakone too, but it focuses more on Tin toys and earlier.
hey TC, Im not even too sure what my budget is going to be like. All i know is im being sent there without any plans, for about 3.5 weeks. hoping there's nice cheap accomodation or something like that. I should get a map and plan a circuit though i heard the transportation is expensive.
