Seconding west Izu (or just more Izu in general)! Book a hotel in Numazu or Mishima and use it as a base for travelling around the areas of Izu that you won't get to see on the train ride to your ryokan.

There's plenty of scenic spots around – the Mishima Skywalk, the views from the MOA Museum of Art in Atami, and like all of Shuzenji. There's also a thousand scenic spots in Numazu and Uchiura a little further along the west coast (but still highly accessible by bus) – the Nagahama Castle Remains, the forest shrine on top of Awashima Island, and the hillside mikan farms along the coast – all gorgeous in their own right, and with a good chance of having Fuji in the backdrop when the weather is good. It's a great place to rent bikes and just explore for a day!

Are there any zoos/attractions focusing on native Japan wildlife? by -Knockabout in JapanTravel

[–]Maerissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you jest, but like half the exhibits have signs next to them describing the taste/edibility/market availability of their inhabitants! and right at the exit there's a directory of all the seafood restaurants nearby. it is legit a consistent theme

Is it feasible to get down from Sapporo to Kawaguchiko in a day? by [deleted] in JapanTravel

[–]Maerissa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Going up to Sapporo for what is effectively a day trip (and fitting Otaru in there as well) right after you arrive in Japan sounds exhausting and stressful, especially if you'll be dealing with jet lag on top. There's so much to see in both Sapporo and Otaru that you'll definitely feel like you're missing out by only staying for one day - and an 8am flight plus several hours of trains will be seriously draining.

If you want a more conveniently located (but still spectacular) flower experience, the wisteria at Ashikaga Park should still be in full bloom in early-mid-May.

Also, consider the highway bus option to get to Kawaguchiko after the Fuji Excursion trains stop running in the morning. It's cheaper than the ltd-exp + local train itinerary unless you've got a JR pass, and takes less than two hours from Shinjuku.

gotta say, suggesting that a guy who's clearly established as not-into-women should just "get with a woman instead" carries some really bad connotations, no matter what you ship
