I'm faced next week with no specific plans in Japan, other than being in Nara on May 19-23 for the conference. If anyone reading this cared to offer advice, it would be appreciated. What would you do, if you were given an evening, then half-day in Tokyo? Followed by train travel (most direct bullet train, or an alternate routing) down to Nara, which is full of temples, history and tame deer?

Then at the end of the week in Nara, maybe an overnight somewhere in Kyoto before returning to Tokyo for another 24-hour stay there?

Uhm, there have been absoluely no cases of SARS here in Japan. I think it's pretty safe.

As for actual violent crime, it is so much safer than North America. I, a single female, have never felt unsafe walking alone at night. It's definitely one of the safest places I've lived (other places being Canada and England).
