Free flights to Japan?

[Anzekay]

Depending on where you are, expect something like 3000-7000 yen per night per person at a hotel or traditional inn, and that usually doesn't include food. Also will have to factor in if you are travelling around at all, as travel in Japan seems to be pretty expensive (150ish for a train trip to Tokyo from Kyoto was a number my friend threw at me), or you can get the gaijin only train passes that are about 260ish+ for a week (both those figures are Aus$).

Then there's food, passport, travel insurance, etc. Honestly, flights to Japan right now are actually pretty cheap, so while this is super awesome and all, still be prepared to fork out a good lot of cash. The round trip for me is around 800 Aus which is insanely cheap, but I'm still ensuring I have at least 2.5 or 3 grand to take with me for two weeks.

Anyway, not to be a party pooper, just pointing out things! If anyone wants all the info I've got about travelling there then let me know and I'll hook you up with links. The friend I'm going with has a bunch of friends in Japan so we've been able to get some really good info pretty easily.
