A friend of ours, Henrik, wanted to go to Japan this Easter. As none of his other friends wanted to skip cross country skiing and eating oranges outside cottages without inhouse water, he asked Bernt and me if we wanted to go. Off course we wanted! So we're leaving Norway on Thursday March 29, to go to Osaka / Kyoto, then Tokyo, and return on Sunday April 8. Both Bernt and I will celebrate our birthdays while in Japan, which will probably be memorable.
So now I'm checking out info about where to go and stay. I found a brilliant blog focusing on design and Tokyo today: Jean Snow's site at http://jeansnow.net/ . Also found out that wallpaper has started making traveling guides.

Think I'll just keep adding new links on this page. J
