JapanDo: Trips from Tokyo

All these trips are 2 to 3+ hours from Tokyo... You can do day trips but these are perfect as weekend getaways or 3-day trips if you tag on other places. It's best to budget at least 10,000 to 15,000+ yen a day, all inclusive (mid-range accommodation & transport from Tokyo). I've included links to train/bus timetables 時刻表 that open in another window, but they're in Japanese so just right click and choose "Translate to English" if you can't read Japanese.
