A1. Please see Backpackers web site, it has so meny information.
A2. So meny city or town has special Spring Water in Japan, almost location on Tohoku area. If you are first time visit Japan than I suggest you go to komaki onsen (http://www.komaki-onsen.co.jp/)
A3. Yamagate has special scenery in winter.
A4. Almoust travel agency has sale JR(Japan Railway) Rail Pass in Taiwan, you can buy it.

Ken in Hokkaido

:d Thanks a lot for the help from many of you.

In fact i can read Mandarin, just can't write over a PC. Reading & Writing in Traditional or Simplified Character also not a problem.

Typing Mandarin over a PC is my big....big problem.... ;)

Other than Taiwan, can i buy the JR ticket in Malaysia? is there any shop @ Taiwan can sell JR Ticket through internet payment??? Cos i am living in KL, M'sia.

Please write more to me, i can read Both Traditional or Simplified Character Mandarin. ALthough just study Chinese School till Primary 6.

買票應該是很容易,但是shipping可能就是大問題了。可是為何你不在吉隆坡買就好啦?馬來西亞應該不會沒得買才對,不知道站上還有沒有住馬來西亞的人可以幫他找找...

Hey Friend,
Thanks a lot for your info. Really appreciate your help.
I has book my flight with ANA at KL, M'sia. But for YH at Tokyo, they want me to book the Small Room at October 2004 (due to my arrival is December 2004), but i am afraid there will be fully book by then.

What can i do or how can i make early bird booking & payment for my YH at Tokyo?

Thanks a lot man...cheers

嗯~我也不知該怎麼辦才好耶,如果你十二月才要去東京,那現在訂YH可能真的有點太早,我上次住東京的YH是約一個月前訂房的。
你有YHA卡嗎? 聽說在日本的YH會給予26歲以下的人優先住宿。
