* 24/03/2017: Arrive in Tokyo.
** Based on current flights, meet for lunch somewhere near Haneda?
*** I think it would be better to meet somewhere more centralised. -YYY
* <s>Do some stuff in Tokyo for a day or two (so that I can recover from travelling)?</s> Meet up with James. Leave following day.
** [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 places in Tokyo. I would prefer that we all stay in the same place whilst we are travelling through other the parts of Japan though.
* Flight down to Kagoshima on Monday morning?

** ¥18,790 to fly to Yakushima on Saturday afternoon - 13:20 to 17:35. http://www.jal.co.jp/en/ . Other days flights don't show up - weird - maybe a number of days ahead thing? Flights to Kagoshima are cheaper but then we have to get the hydrofoil or something.
