Preparedness checklist
Think of some stuff to do and/or an event to centre the trip around - Spring and valentine's day, I guess?
- Negotiate a suitable set of dates with your comrades
- Check prices for airfares and jiggle the dates until optimal
- Apply for leave from work
- Chase management for receipt of request
- Confirm leave approval
- Book airfares
- Thrash out a rough timeline of where to be on which days
- Figure out where you'll be and book accommodation
- How much is accommodation going to cost?
- How about travel?
- JR pass?
Car hire? http://rent.toyota.co.jp/en/index.html
- How many yens will you need? Buy some yens
