bear in mind that accommodation is not easy and the cost of living is extraordinarily expensive Outside of Tokyo things get a lot cheaper, Sapporo, brewing capital of Japan, offers a friendly welcome to visitors and is set in a rugged landscape Osaka, on the other hand is a thriving but none too pretty metropolis except that is after dark when they switch on the neon lighting Kyoto is a different world with three imperial palaces and over a hundred temples all set in beautifully manicured gardens The cultural center of Japan is a must for a visit at the very least Getting a job A modicum of
