Starting tomorrow, January 20, 2006 till February 20, 2006 Japan is welcoming visitors to the country in their 'Yokoso' Japan Weeks campaign with more than tempting discounts to enhance shopping experiences, by providing generous Onsen passes, and reasonably priced events taking place all over. Rail, hotel, and even hostels are offering discounted rates up to 50% off in some locations. Ski specials include slashed prices in such areas as Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokuriku/Shinetsu on lift passes and nearby lodging.If you haven't gotten the message yet, what I'm basically trying to say is the whole country seems to be on sale. Most foreigners hold the impression that Japan is an expensive place to visit (myself included) and looking towards some of the country's close neighbors it's easy to see why. However, this is the perfect time to visit and see some of Japan's premier sites at low-cost. Go to the Yokoso site now and head to Japan quick!
