Hey guys, Thanks for your replies. Terry, that sounds awesome, what do you guys know of car hire over there? It is something all of the guys would definitely like to do. The 5k is all in including flights and probably 1k spending money outside of food and getting around etc, that also includes JR ticket. We are not necessarily going to go through an agent, just using her to get an idea of rough cost. Please give me your ideas and tips! totally open for suggestions on what to do over there, we have 3 weeks and so far have only 4 days booked out. We are up for any sort of housing arrangement as long as it isn't shit hostels etc, all the guys have decent coin so we would rather spend the cash and have a good time! Cheers!
