Any tips on must see things around Yokohama and Tokyo?
Looks like I have a 6 week work trip coming up. Hopefully I get 2 days off at the weekends.
Surf doesn't seem very close by... But I'm hopeful of catching at least a few waves so I can tick the box, surfed Japan... I love Japanese beer and food. Hope to see some Japanese boobies too ! 
On a big 9 month work trip to Rome, it was always great to jump in a car or on a Ducati, and hit the road for 4 hours, stay over night, and come home a different way. Are The Alps very scenic over there?
PS - in sunny Brissy today if anyone is close by for beers tonight.
PM Mac & Chrispy , head to the coast - boobies of every denomination there mate
Good luck with japan too
^^^^i will have a few with ya if you hit the goldy
mate i will pm you as i have a crazy snowboarder mate living over there. (now this blokes stories have blown my mind)
dont need a P.A do ya grom man
haha working in Japan a long while back setting up a manufacturing plant in 1990's,they / I worked 6 day weeks from 9 am often to 11 pm,good luck with your 5 day week
My daughter did 6 weeks there year before last 50k a year for a car park in Tokyo take plenty of money
What a shame its not snowboarding season - I could give you some good advice for that. From all reports the food over there is heavenly and its worth going just for that. And as you have already mentioned they do make a lovely beer or three.
GF was in Tokyo on buisness a month or so back said just walking around was pretty cool. She was only there for 3 days.

simondo, i'v skied the north island hokkaido 3 years in row a couple of years back.
great beer, really good food and the powder snow seems epic every 3 days or so.
i think you are going at the wrong time of the year, however, the flowered landscape in their spring/ summer has to be seen i've been told
cheers
ps i remember coming back from a japan ski trip one year and the boys said lets have an after work beers. i was driving so i ordered a xxxx gold, it was my first beer back home- first sip i nearly spate it out in disgust
Thanks guys. Imagine if I had Chrispy over there to organise the restaurant bookings, parties, girls, and weekend ventures!
Lacey, the beers sounds even better than my high expectations!
Mac, I'm very hopeful of a 40 hour week! Don't worry, I'm good at slipping out the door, and getting through my work on time!
On a different note, a nice female colleague just told me a stack of stories about surviving the Boxing Day tidal wave on Phi Phi. Amazing... Jaw dropping...
Does anyone know the name and location of this club?
Chrispy, your board fire sale is disturbing me!
Update - what's not to love about 40 gorillas for 6 weeks in Japan plus all expenses paid! Business Class flights...
Just landed from Brisbane, and I pretty happy to read that email notification... 
with all that coin you have now,i will have to renegotiate a new contract before we leave
Oh mac, byron on byron spa is where we scored the weekend get away? know anything about it?
Tickets are booked! I'm actually flying through The Gold Coast! Just changing planes there.
I figure my best chance of a surf is actually trying to buddy up with a Japanese guy from work, or his son, or brother, or something. Water temp is 19-20-21 from late May to Early July... So I think I'll throw the long sleeve springy in, just in case!
I hate this site, but has some decent info. Maybe check it put before you go.

Since I get to surf quality point breaks down here, and being a young Dad, there is minimal night life action these days... I'm wondering if I should focus more on Japam Night Life and bars!
Japanese beers, and restaurants, sushi, etc...
I should be able to drink most of the Japanese men under the table... I've heard they are two beer screamers... I just need to watch out for the ones who can hold a stomach full of local rice wine... SAKE!
Like this... 100 Sake bombs into beer... Domino style !!
This is GOLD!

Keep all your receipts and give the tax-man hell next year
A mate at work spent 3 weeks there at christmas, he said the snow was sick. Very pricey in the major cities and cheaper the further out you go. Have a great trip
