As I had some difficulties with that, but have found a solution with using a travelsim card. Was able to call my faily, to use Skype and didn't spent a lot of money.

Then I clicked on temples, and spotted Senso-ji. Then I checked that Asakusa and Ueno were both highlighted in Tokyo. Yes. I'm happy!<br /><br />It's looking good, J.A.!

I have thought about opening it up and having many people contribute as this would help me out and save a lot of time, but have already been to a lot of the places and have the material ready for the articles. Maybe a community to rank the places and attractions? Still lots of ideas to play with :)<br /><br />Japan-Guide.com is a great site, so not looking to compete with them directly but trying to focus on the key destinations in Japan as well as the must see attractions like castles, temples, shrines and gardens. I feel if I can focus on these areas I can contribute quite a lot and build from there. I have looked at a lot of travel sites and have tried to make the process of finding this key information as simple and easy as possible.<br /><br />Japan-Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970708785185874284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-30010222690824178752012-10-02T15:31:24.585+09:002012-10-02T15:31:24.585+09:00Thanks Zooming Japan, It's been a labour of lo...Thanks Zooming Japan, It's been a labour of love for me and challenging to find the time, so have been doing bits and pieces here and there. I've been to a lot of the places already, so will start posting about specific destinations and attractions shortly. Still have quite a few places to visit, so will continue to be a passion and labour of love over the coming years. I need something to keep me busy :)<br /><br />JohnJapan-Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970708785185874284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-3337925677400967322012-10-02T15:28:05.712+09:002012-10-02T15:28:05.712+09:00Thanks Dar, I appreciate that!

A good initial structure is in place from which you can build upon. Why don't you save yourself some work and open it up like a forum or Wiki so people with travel experience in Japan can submit their own recommendations and tips? Are you looking to compete with sites like Japan-Guide.com?
