agree!
My last trip was in 2008... been so long.
I had lots of good food in Kyoto and some OK food in Tokyo. (guess I did more research for the Kyoto part so I find better restaurants to visit)
HAVE to go to an onsen on my next trip!
For someone that does not have a free place to live in HK. I can say travel to Japan is cheaper than staying in HK, given you do similar type of activities and live in comparable quality accomodations.
HK vacation...? No thx. Asian destination direct from now on. Maybe HK side trip just to meet friends.
