Now that I bought my Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras, I’m now tempted to consider a compact flash for night shots and in low lighting conditions. Actually, I’m filled with excitement that I can snap some nice panoramic pictures as we make our way to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

What’s really fun would be to stay in a Hakone ryokan and after a long search, I’ve decided on the Hakone Ginyu. All the traveler reviews had confirmed that this Hakone ryokan was worth their money and time and there wasn’t any who regretted splurging on their stay. So I’m really looking forward to it. If you have a bigger pocket, go for the Gora Kadan luxury ryokan, a very famous luxury ryokan that hosted discerning travelers who appreciate fine and luxury touches while ensuring the most relaxing hot springs vacation.

As for Osaka and Kyoto, looking for a Kyoto accommodation can be expensive and challenging during Autumn where the autumn foliage is the prettiest in these two popular Japan cities. Thus, if you are planning to head to Kyoto this autumn, staying in an Osaka hotel would be more economical. Plus, traveling to Kyoto from Osaka is only 15mins on the shinkansen.
