I want to make a trip to Japan some time next year, and I need some
recommendations.  Being a consultant, I hope to be able to claim that
by visiting Japan and checking out the competition as it were, the
trip qualifies as some form of educational or professional improvement
expense and that I can write off a portion of the trip on my taxes.
(Any comments on that?)  Hopefully, I will be there around two weeks or
so.

Anyway, I need to know about plant tours, etc.  Where are the Japanese
hardware and software companies located?  Do they offer tours?  (Do they
shoot industrial spies or congratulate them? :-)  And, of course, it would
be nice to know about any cultural points of interest located nearby such
installations (for after-hours).
