If you were to spend 2 days in Japan in January and are seeking a Japanese experience (architectural, cultural, etc) where would you go?
Ideally, the cost are not as outrageous as Tokyo and once we are there, most can be navigated walking

Thanks
Where do you get the "$120 train ticket into town" figure from?

I don't know anything about One World other than what I am reading here:

http://www.oneworld.com/flights/sing...s/visit-japan/

But if, according to the stuff in "Simple Pricing", you have to pay at least $120 extra to fly anywhere other than Tokyo, so I'm confused as to why the train from Narita (which shouldn't cost anywhere near $120) should be a limiting factor in deciding on Tokyo.

However, if you are dead set against doing Tokyo again, then I suppose Kyoto is your next best option.
