Thank you very much to all those people who have given me suggestions as to where to visit this time round in Japan!
In the end, because I'm only going to be 2 weeks (April 20th - May 6th) I have had to restrict myself to a short tour of western Honshu with a trip to Nagasaki added on.
This is my second trip to Japan, the first being with K Ballet in 2005 and without a doubt there will be a third!
Once again, thank you everybody for the kind help.
