> I often find that there are so many misconceptions about Japan,
> especially for travelers there. So misconceived that it could demotivate people
> from travelling here Although the web has solved this to some extent,
> since now there are many websites dedicated to the subject, it is still
> hard to find a comprehensive guide tailored for techno-geeks like us
> traveling to conferences held in Tokyo. As such it motivated me to write
> up a document for such a target audience.
>
> This is an FAQ intended to supplant various web guides on Japan,
> especially geared towards folks coming to GGF7 in Shinjuku. If you have
> any recommendations regarding the content, please email
> matsu@is.titech.ac.jp. I have received numerous comments and suggestions
> from people on my last distribution to a limited group, and have tried
> to reflect them all in the current version.
>
> The document should be made into a PDF document and linked to the GGF
> website. Please also feel free to distribute it to your colleagues.
