That's a great idea! I'll have to check those out sometime. I'll look on the front page - thanks =)
edit:
Actually, after reading more and more throughout this gigantic thread, (as it's nearing 2:00am now where I live), I think I've pretty much decided I will just try to buy the 2 tickets at the reseller shop in Harajuku. It seems like it may actually be cheaper, anyway - or at least there's a small chance of it. Also - I'm at
www.hihostels.com, and just for the fun of it I put in my supposed information:
Country: Japan
City: Yokohama
Arrival date: 04 June 2008
Departure date: 18 June 2008
Nights: 14
Males: 1
Females: 1
And it said "
Not Available 04 June - 18 June" in big red letters. :'(
And, also, I don't have a Youth Hostel Membership card - I'm assuming that costs even more money
As of now, I don't really know where I am with this. Ideally, what I
want to happen is I find the two cheapest round-trip flights to Tokyo (with Narita) for June 4th '08, buy a JR pass somewhere there at Narita airport I guess, find a youth hostel either in Tokyo or in Yokohama, I don't know which would be the better idea (I'm assuming my gf and I could stay in the same room and make it cheaper for us, yes?), on the next couple of days (probably June 5th and 6th) ride the rails to Harajuku and look for Takeshita street, in which I'll eventually find the LOVX lingerie store and, if all is awesome with the world, find two reasonably-priced Ayu tickets that won't completely blow. On the 7th or the 8th depending on which we buy, we'll go to the concert and have a blast. Then, the rest is pretty much as we decide to make it. We'll go exploring (taking "Hatix" 's suggestions most likely, along with any others
), until the 18th when we'll fly back home.
As of now, that is my dream for this. I think what's dragging me down now is the whole hostel thing - I think I'll be able to eventually figure out the whole flight situation for us (whether or not it will be cheap is still up in the air), but hostels are another story. They seem to be incredibly cheap though, which I know both my gf and myself will love.
