* Possibly do some stuff in Tokyo for a day or two (so that I can recover from travelling)? Meet up with James. Leave on Sunday afternoon?

** [http://www.tokyohostelskyoto.com/hostel_tokyo/tokyo-cheap-hostel.html bAKpAK Tokyo Hostel] I've stayed here twice before; it's relatively cheap and cheerful. I don't mind if people want to stay in different in Tokyo. I would prefer that we all stay in the same place whilst we are travelling through other the parts of Japan though.

* ~~Shinkansen~~ down to ~~Kyushu~~?

* Flight down to Kagoshima?

** ~~Fukuoka~~ - stay 1 ~~night~~?

** Yakushima - stay 3 nights? (1-2 full days, plus arrival and departure days)

*** ~~There~~'~~s really not much there (or~~ if ~~there is then~~ my group ~~didn't find it) - I'd rather go straight on to Nagasaki. Also consider flying - there are flights Tokyo-Kagoshima for about GBP70, which would save most of~~ a ~~day of travel~~ time ~~(remember we can't use the Nozomi shinkansen without paying a supplement)~~. --lmm

*** Flight from Kagoshima or some form of aquatic transport?

**** ~~GBP70 seems reasonable for a flight. There wasn't anything in particular I wanted~~ to do ~~in Fukuoka so going straight~~ to ~~Nagasaki may be preferable.~~

*** I'd argue for 3 nights if we end up with enough time - my group liked Yakushima a lot last time. --lmm

* ~~Nagasaki - stay 2 nights?~~

*** http://www.h3.dion.ne.jp/~yasuakim/english.html is where we stayed last time.

** ~~Dejima~~ --~~Lmm~~

*** Walk up to the summit and look down on the whole island (1 daytime really)

*** Perhaps do one of the other walks to see more ancient cedar trees

*** Hot springs, the local baths and/or the JR hotel (1000 yen). List at http://www.yesyakushima.com/yakushima-activities/yakushima-onsen-hot-springs/ (1 or 2 evenings)

* Kagoshima - stay 1 night?

** Again I don't remember there being much there - would sooner proceed directly to Yakushima --lmm

*** I was tempted by Sakurajima, the active volcano. - YYY
