Japanese Onsen, Inns and Ryo-kan (72 down 12,000 more to go). Latest experience. Itamuro-Onsen. Open-air hot spring bath, water temp @ 40-41℃ natural hot spring. Try the Ataraxia sauna room made of Ohdo(ocher) bricks. Suppose to be good for detox, you sleep on the floor wearing your Yukata. Just made me sweat like a pig and for some reason unknown I got this craving for cold soba. Very weird. We stayed the night, rooms very comfortable, service fantastic, and the food was great. Y8900 (unfortunately, December is Peak season). Took the Shinkasen from Tokyo Station, about 70 mins, but missed the Shuttle bus, found out too late it's a once a day shuttle. Major Bummer. English challenged.

If you want your order shipped from Japan, expect to pay, we will only use EMS and with the Yen/$ exchange rate, you may go into shock.

International shipping.
I agree it is high, and for just one figure, not worth it. Let's face it though, without tracking or delievry confirmation, a good too many package seem to get ~ lost in mail. ~ This gets expensive. You get your $$ back, I get upset. Paypal and ebay have implemented new rule changes that will not guarantee any shipping method that does not include tracking and/or delivery confirmation. The cheapest method available here that does include tracking and delivery confirmation is USPS Priority International. I've used those 3rd party Insurance companies, and they work great inside the US, but for International packages, they want proof of mailing, delivery and tracking info, these are all extra services and costs that can get expensive and have to be add to the package cost. Besides, even with those safeguards, you still can't track a package in some destinations.
