Recently there have been several articles online about how Japan might be giving away 10,000 free flights to foreigners next year. It's apparently still under discussion, so it may not happen. If it does happen then people who win the free flights will be asked to blog about their trip so to help increase tourism, which has slowed since the earthquake/nuclear disaster this year.

In this thread, imagine you were someone who won one of the free tickets. Where would you go? What would you do? What would you see? What would you want to eat? Anything and everything that you might want to do if you got yourself a free trip to Japan.

Well obviously I'd go see H!P and AKB concerts/events.
I'd eat at an authentic ramen and sushi restaurants
I'd eat real melon pan
I'd go to Akihabara and take lots of pictures
I'd visit temples and shrines
I'd walk under the cherry blossoms in the spring
I don't think I'd ever sleep if I was in Japan!

BTW, it doesn't look like this is a real thing that they're doing... at least not yet.

Nana Mizuki, ELISA, SCANDAL, Johnny's family etc... Seek for stores with goodies, typical food...
Would try Akihabara cuz I'm such an otaku girl... dunno I'll basically improvise over the march XD

Like many of you, I want to see a lot of concerts. Hopefully I'll see one of my bilingual friends so I can get help with understanding the language.

My primary plan, of course, will be to see Sakura Gakuin and try to come up with a plan to ask Miyoshi Ayaka to marry me. :D I have to tell her how much she and Sakura Gakuin mean to me. <3

Failing that, I'll try to see Up Up Girls and ask Saho Akari to marry me. A guy's gotta have a back-up plan, right? XD

Seeing Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku is a must, no matter what the cost of their concert tickets. I have a lot I want to say to them. :)

I'll also buy a lot of CDs that I can't get from CD Japan, maybe some photo books too. I might actually do something not related to idols, but I haven't thought too much about that yet.... ;)

"Sakura Gakuin 2010 ~message~" is the greatest album released in the 21st Century! Get your copy today and find out why!

 

Proudly supporting lots of idols... Sakura Gakuin ~ Caramel ☆ Ribbon ~ Aither ~ Prizmmy☆ ~ NA-NA ~ Himekko 5 ~ Candy Kiss ~ Sakuran Bom Bom ~ Onigokko

I would see an MM concert and then I'd go shopping <3
I mean, have you seen the prizes of the clothes that Aichan and Zukki tried in that H!P Time episode? :w00t:
And they're much cuter than the clothes are where I live. XD
I might also try to time it with something featuring Ai-chan if she keep doing stuff like musicals, I've always wanted to see her in real life.
That is the stuff that I thought of at once, but I would probably do a lot of other things to (such as going to Arakawa and see the river where Arakawa Under the Bridge is from).
God, I want those tickets so badly ;_;

I've been thinking about this as well since I heard about the news. I believe to enter you have to write up why exactly you want to go to Japan, right? That's what I recall reading from a source anyway, don't take my word on it.

Well, obviously like everyone here my main goal will be to hit up the concerts/tours of as many as my favorite artists as financially possible. Perfume and Ayumi are at the top of my list. Ayu will be easy since she tours like twice a year plus has Countdown Live, Perfume will be a lot more dependent on the timing though which hopefully is in my favor. Next would be to go to the AKB and SKE Theaters to catch a show (hopefully there will be new stages by then) and stop by a N show to see my dear Keicchi. There's also Kalafina, The Tokyo Idol Festival, and of course, S/mileage. <3 At least one of them has to be touring at the time, ONE! XD

Second goal will be to buy several copies of the latest AKB48 singles (which I'll be able to do with the money saved from shipping lol) so I can get the handshake tickets to meet my oshi and all my other favorites. <3

Third, hit up every sushi and ramen place I come in contact with. XD

Fourth, visit some cosplay cafes to molest the cute waitresses :whistle: and eat lots of cake. ^_^

Fifth, visit the famous sites. Go to some shrines. If I'm brave enough, maybe try a bathhouse. If it's Spring, then Cherry Blossom viewing will be an absolute must.

And last but not least, SHOOPPPIIINNNGG. :wub: CD's, Photobooks, clothes, accessories, shoes, photos, posters, DVD's.... AKIHABARA. lol I'll have to find some cheap housing because I will definitely be doing my part in contributing to Japan's economy. :good:

Yeah, so after writing all this I've decided that I need those tickets in my life and will be absolutely crushed if I'm not selected. :(

The obvious I assume:
- visit as many H!P concerts and events as I can
- try to catch Momoiro Clover live.
- visit an Afilia Saga maid café
- try to catch a bunch of indie idol performances
- buy tons of H!P Goods
- visit the H!P stores (and buy even more swag)
- eat at Tsunku's restaurant

but most of all:

...drop a handwritten letter in Tsunku's mailbox, thanking him for everything he made possible.

Of course I want to return to Tokyo, it's by far the coolest city I've ever been to. There's so much to do there, never a dull moment.
But I also really like to visit some small towns and rural parts of Japan, when I see those on youtube they always seem so relaxing and peaceful.
I'd like to see local traditions and festivals and try local food and go hiking in those beautiful forests.
