Default Getting to know people in Japan

As another response indicates, you'll have a hard time receiving
invitations to Japanese homes. Not impossible, but not likely. Go to
google.com and do a search for ryokan and minshuku, the most interesting
sort of accommodation in Japan. Not all are inexpensive, but generally they
are cheaper than hotels and spas. Listings on web sites usually show costs
and locations. Most will have email addresses to which you can send an
inquiry. See my article at http://softadventure.net/japan2003article.htm for
some ideas about a visit.

| I'll be going to Japan during spring 2004 and worry a lot about how I'm
| going to figure stuff out, get around, find (cheap) places to stay etc.
| I talked with someone here who had been to Japan for a month, though
| staying with friends at (expensive!!!) hotels etc. and was suggested
| that I try to get to know people in Japan through the Internet who I
| could hook up when I get there.
|
| I was told that a lot of Japanese people are curious about getting to
| know foreigners, and would happily show you around and help in exchange
| for speaking English with you.
|
| Being from Norway I was furthermore told that my country is considered
| an attractive option for visiting, so perhaps I could even offer someone
| in Japan a free stay if they come here, if they help me out in Japan.
| Any ideas, suggestions about all of this?
| I don't suppose anyone in Japan reads this newsgroup?
