Could someone tell me where are the good places to go in Tokyo?

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

If you see the sights of the Kansai area,
I think that Kansai international Airport is convenient.

A cheap inn of Kobe.

i reccomend you go to asakusa area.
asakusa is a local area in tokyo.
it's a traditonal temple and spot there.
and sumo tornament near asakusa in january.
if you are interested in sumo,see the tornament there.
there are big sumo wresler and you may take a picuter with them.
good luck

I have to call in Japan for my concert tickets, but it doesn't work, a sever say that the number doesn't exixt, I must do a mistake. Could someone tell me how to call in Japan from France? Thanks

It's been a long time since I last called Japan from another country, but if I remember correctly, the country code you must dial is 80.

I must be in Japan to buy the ticket for Antic cafe Concert...:( :( :(

By the way, thaanks for your help.:cool:

Is that possible to ask your friends in Shizuoka to get the ticket?

[Dutch Baka]

I read in another thread that you are going to Kobe... the concert is there right? Kobe is a great city to stay in for a couple of days (I live there haha), you could take the cable up to the hill for a splendid night view, or you can go to the Earthquake museum, which is one of the museums I ever visited.

(have a look on my website for kobe: www.kobecityinfo.com)

Ganbatte with the tickets, and have fun in January.

P.s. it is cold now... 9degrees brrr

[Harinezumi]

I have ask my friends in Shizuoka for the tickets, and they get one!! But only one.=(
Thank you Dutch Baka for the advices, I will take a look =)
Yes it's the place of the concert ^_^
We got the same temperature in France now. (and it's raining all the time this year.) You're lucky living in such a nice place.^_^
