Are you saying that most Japanese are not spoken to by the staff? I think you're mistaking ryokan for love hotel, Gyouza. Do you honestly think it's good service for staff not to talk to you and to pretend you don't exist? Here on planet Earth, it's not good service.…

Apologies to Charlie - the "extras" are 80k, you are right!

Bigtime Charlie, you are so wrong. Did you even check the website? Our good friends at BA may have made a mistake (or is it JT?). The online price is actuall JPY66,000 return to europe, and adding charges makes it JPY130,000 just to get to the UK. Adding a "free"…

First, congratulations to Nessie on becoming "invisible" at the ryokan. Most Japanese become invisible too. Most would all it a complement as it could be read as just "fitting in". You'd probably stick out (no pun intended) in the womans baths though, so be careful!

Second, all this talk of…

Some interesting comments so far, although I would differ in opinion from most: OgieDogie: This years oil price hike injured the US ecomony badly, many are still smarting from it. I would be suprised if it goes away quietly. Many (ordinary people) will be demanding alternate sources of energy to…

If your fiancee is still into Cinderella, she might be too young to get married? I realise that there is no age limit to enjoy cartoons, but I'm sure Cinderella is aimed at an age group younger than teens. Something not quite right here (and I accept that it could…

Nice if it opens up the floodgates and causes a drift from Narita. BUT, I suspect that it will be very popular, and as a consequence, very expensive copmared to the Narita flght, more than the 1,900yen fare on the Skyliner!

Will it be a virtual "5 year in jail" sentence, and a virtual "500,000 yen fine"? I find this all a little hard to believe. The gravity of the outcome does not mirror what is being called a crime.

Judging by the comments, looks like she is the wrong person for the job. Reaching the wrong target audience!

What other fast food and chain restaurants serve tainted food from China ? Japan needs to declare an emergency on this matter. How many Japanese people have to die before some government offical declares a ban or national emergency.
