take the train, you will need to get a rail ticket before you leave

fuck the train!
Hire cars. They're incredibly cheap, come with GPS, it's impossible to get lost on the expressways, and the landscape is AMAZING.

If you take one tip from this thread, make it this one.

its alot more enjoyable to kick back on the train, drink a beer and look out the window than it is to drive with crazy japs

Sounds like solid advice from someone who didn't drive with the 'crazy japs'

Retard.

Japan is best seen via train. From the super fast shinkansen trains ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen ) to the local milk runs, you can get almost anywhere in Japan by train. They run on time, they run well, and they are priced pretty reasonably. Pretty much everywhere you go in Japan will be mapped relative to a local train station.

Speaking of which, if you are in Tokyo (and many other places) remember that street addresses are essentially useless. The Japanese addressing system ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_addressing_system ) means that buildings are often numbered in the order they a built, not in the order they appear on the street. Always get a map, and don't be shy to ask directions, pretty much everyone does.

My best Japan recommendation is EAT. Japanese people love food, there are plenty of different types of food, and tons of great places to eat. From 90yen a piece automated sushi places to bank account emptying steak houses, they have it all.

I didn't mention anything about cities. Yes, driving in Tokyo will probably give you an aneurysm - but driving from city to city - Tokyo -> Kyoto, Kyoto > Osaka, Kyoto > Nagasaki etc - is just magnificent. I've driven down the country, and trained on the way back up - and the scenery and experience of the car just doesn't even start to compare to the train.

Local transport - trains are great.

I didn't ride around in cabs enough to know you are talking shit. It is odd, but the scenery you encounter when you deviate even slightly from the expressway is really crazy... sort of like taking an exit into another world.

Shinkansen trip was pretty bland... and when you do see a neat place, you're speeding by and don't get a chance to check any of it out.
