Thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment.

Japan rail is a great site for trip planning and transportation is in the works as a future post so stay tuned.

Me again… if you plan to travel by train the Japan Rail site is useful for timetables and where to buy a Japan Rail pass in your country (you can only buy them outside Japan)

the timetables probably won’t be the most interesting part of your souvenir guidebook though…

This is a great list of resources, and especially topical as I am planning a trip to Japan at the moment.

I totally agree with the idea of looking beyond the guidebook to get a better idea about the culture you are visiting. It’s so easy to forget about it until the last minute, and then just dive into your guidebook on the plane. But you’re right that you can get much more out of the trip with some background.
