Useful Links

In planning this trip and in preparing this website, I have run across a number of very useful links.  Some of these I include here just for my own convenience.  I generally use www.yahoo.com, www.altavista.com, and www.northernlight.com as my search engines.

Japan Information Network is a fabulous website with all kinds of information about Japan.

Kid's Window is a marvelous site for learning about Japan and the Japanese language.

This Tokyo website is an interesting one I stumbled upon while looking for online material about Ginza.

Nekochan's Japanese webpages are a great source for Japan-related GIFs with English translations.

The AOL Japan Travel message board is an excellent source of information.  I recently saw this link recommended: http://www.neo-tokyo.com/realjapan/main.htm It is a really great site about teenagers in Japan maintained in English by a High School girl in Dallas.

I am discovering that "Japan Trip Reports" are a genre of websites in themselves:

Roger & Marilyn's Photo Tour of Tokyo is kind of a mega-version of this site. 

Elizabeth and Avrum's Trip to Japan is another professionally done website.

Randy Johnson's Japan Page includes description of out-of-the-way destinations, including Hagi.

Jana's Journal of Japan includes a lot of text.  One regret I have is that I didn't bring a small notebook computer so that I could keep a journal as we traveled.
