hi guys! i stumbled upon your photo archives of your trip to japan while i was searching for info on nagashima spaland... lol, looks like you talked me outta that sidetrip. anyway, i'm planning on visiting japan in september to see a friend who's teaching english there, and i thought that i could break away from her for a couple of days to check out nagashima... hehe, or not.
BUT you guys did give me hope through other parks i hadn't even taken the time to research yet. the problem is, i'm STILL having trouble, because of the whole language barrier thing. i go to the park sites, i check the english section (if there even is one), and i still don't get the info i need.
one question i'm hoping you guys can answer: are these parks even open in september?
i think i'll be there sometime between the 3rd and the 13th, so it is the earlier part.... do you guys use a language filter of some sort to obtain this info? did you use a travel agent to help you? is one of you fluent in japanese or something (though, based on the captions and the occasional expressions of bewilderment on all of your faces in the photos, that would surprise me greatly.. hehe)?
so i guess if you could point me in the right direction, or maybe if you have that info in your personal notes and you'd be willing to share, that would help immensely.
thanks guys! love the site!
