Budokan has not been deleted yet in the above universal site.... If Creativeman does have a plan to have another show in Budokan and deleted it becasue they wanted to sell Makuhari shows tickets further, it is really annoying!

[jarmo]

there's no like supper suttle in Japan. it is inconvenience though..
but there's Airport bus from airport(Narita and Haneda,too) to each hotels.
I think it's better for tourist.

It would be really nice that more people outside Japan will enjoy Japan shows.

 This is a good opportunity as Yen is really weak now and Japan is not a costly tourist place that it used to be...

July is holiday season for Japanese students. So it may be difficult to find cheep flight back to US etc...

If you cannot find any place to stay, you can go to Roppongi, where a plenty of bars / night clubs stay open throughout the night for people from outside Japan (English is more commonly used than Japanese there).

[djcleaver]

well my brother and I are traveling from LA California for 4 of the 5 shows, although the yen is weak, it will still be one of the most expensive places I've been. But GnR in Tokyo.....gotta go...what coud be better.
