I really want to visit Kyoto and still have not got round to it. I just keep on hearing of people being disappointed with it and other things keep on coming up.

Kayaking around lesser frequented Okinawa islands like Amami, Iriomote or Ishigaki and camping on deserted beaches would be nice.

Growing up in Hawaii - I'm spoiled when it comes to beaches! Plus, it's just one of those things you do once to experience.

I went there in January and it was fantastic however we headed over the Miyajima Island staying at the Grand Hotel for a couple of nights, absolutly amazing. My family had been in Japan for nearly a month by then and the Island was one of the last stops but deffinatly a highlight. Will be back there again one day.

One question though is there really monkeys at the top of the mountain, we took the lift and never saw one.

That's Gibraltar mate ;\)

I haven't been down there either. Would like to go, it's just bloody expensive to take the shink so I would want to make at least 5 days or so of it, and it just hasn't happened yet.
