Japan trip September 2007 schedule

We have now finalized our trip to Japan next month. Here is the schedule after arriving at Narita:

Hanamaki (Iwate) Gero Onsen (Gifu) Kamikochi (Nagano) Takayama (Gifu) Shirakawago (Ishikawa) Nagoya (Aichi) Gujo-Hachiman (Gifu) Magome (Nagano) Tokyo

I'm now trying to come up with 2 or 3 photo projects that I want to focus on. Apart from walking around and just snapping away I want to have it clear in my mind what to focus on. I have been looking at other photographers' galleries lately and this body of work by Andrew Chang really gave me some great ideas.
