I have checked Tokoyo inn in the very beginning. They were full. (I love this hotel when I was in Hokkaido! )

I believe I can book hotels. However, our package would be cancelled if the hotel they assigned is full. Then the flight tickets would be cancelled too!!!

Your package probably only include rooms for two nights, normally the first two nights. If you are staying for an extended period you may try some other days. Last year I went to Japan during Easter for 13 days. I bought a JAL package which included 2 nights in a hotel. The package hotels were not available for the first two nights of my trip so I asked for the last two nights instead. It worked out fine.

For Toyoko Inn you are eligible for either a twin or a double room. They allow an additional child under 12 per bed in room. There should be rooms available. Twins are in higher demand but doubles are more readily available. There are so many Toyoko Inns near different train stations you should be able to find one. With a rail pass it will be easy to stay anywhere you want. Of course you find more action in Fukuoka.

You were so happy to stay in Japan for 13 days!!
I am still waiting for the package confirmation. I am a bit mad that they need us to wait for so many days. If I book the hotel by myself online, I can get the confirmation at once! I don't understand why they need so long to response! The computer can tell there are rooms available at once in my mind.

I plan to stay in Fukuoka mainly. Only away to Aso for 2 days. :) I asked the agent to help me booking the Aso Farm village too.

It's really strange that it takes so long. Best of luck to you.

I also went to Japan for 16 days in summer 2011 and 15 days during Easter this year.

Those were my 11th to 13th trip to Japan. Japan is probably one of the safest and easiest countries to travel on your own.

I wrote email to the hotel directly and they said the room should be confirmed already. I really think it is better to book everything and manage everything by myself. It is my first time to book package from the agent.

I am jealous that you can go to Japan for so long every time!!! Never stay longer than 10 days for me. :(

I agree that travelling to japan is really safe and nice!! Would never feel boring to go there again and again! when will you go to Japan again?

I have seen enough of Sakura and fall foliage already, so next time I'll go for 紫藤 and 芝櫻, most likely late April early May next year.

Nowadays the web is so convenient. I see no reason of buying package from an agent.

My sons loved it and they wanted to go again the next day, but my wife complaint that she had gained a few pounds after patronizing that place. So we only went there once.

In addition to desserts, there are also pasta and soup, as well as a drink bar. There is also a machine for soft icecream and a chocolate fountain. My sons enjoyed dipping biscuits in the chocolate fountain.

It is one price for everything. You buy a ticket from the vending machine at the entrance and you can enjoy all the food for 70 or 90 minutes (depending on different shops), but we stopped eating after slightly over half an hour.

I also buy packages, but mainly from the airline-affiliated entities. JAL is the best because you can get instant confirmation. ANA requires you to buy from one of its contracted travel agencies.

I have always been the family vacation planner. My wife always complains that my pace is too fast but she never plans.

I believe my daughter would want to go there again and again after the first try! hehe
gaining a few pounds is ok when we are in the holiday! :) Eating is a must for vacation!

It seems really attractive to have all included with that price!! Very reasonable!

I am very disappointed to the travel agency this time. I think they didn't sent our request at once. (or they might do it via some other middle- agency!!!) The staff also used some stupid excuse to cover their problems!! For example, they want to imply that it is the problem from the hotel! Suddenly he would say the hotel didn't contact them about our reservation and then he said he knew the hotel had confirmed after I asked him more... keep on telling lies!!!
They also isn't willing to make any changes.
I think I won't ask for their help anymore even it is cheaper.

Here is totally different! I am the forever vacation planner, from where to go, how to access, how long we would stay at a spot.... My husband would just beg me not to have a tight schedule! haha
Sometimes I would plan him to a place and I am at the other place if necessary.

To rent a car in Japan you may try:
http://www2.tocoo.jp/?file=rentcar_inbound/main

or go to the Mazda (the name of the car rental company changed on Apr 1 I can't remember exactly its new name, something like easy rental) and Nissen sites directly. It may be worthwhile to compare price of the different sites, especially if you are not returning your car to the same locatiion. Recently I rented a car with Mazda, picking up at Fukui and returning at Komatsu Airport. The Mazda site said no one way charge (and that was the case) but the Tocoo site indicated a one way charge.

Many travel agents are not trust worthy, and some don't know enough to give a sound advice. I always rely on myself.

I find it really amazing that in this site it is usually the ladies who plan for family vacation. I have known a lot of backbackers for many years (I am one myself too) and they always plan their own trip, regardless of their gender.

Thanks. I also found this company in the book. I have contacted them before and they gave me quick response. Once the hotels are confirmed, I would make the booking.
but I agree that i should try different sites for the better price. :)
I plan to rent and return the car at the same spot. Mostly about 36 hours.
