Indispensible online guide to all aspects of Japan travel – logistics, sightseeing (it has a great category system of sights to see from 1 Tokyo to somewhere beyond 150 all with one – outstanding, two – best of Japan or three red blobs – best of the best)
Specialist Japan tour operators I found very helpful but beyond my ambitiously low budget
Websites I used in planning and booking the trip
Trivago
Navitime Journey Pro was great for estimating time and costs for road stages of the trip
and Hyperdia is brilliant with timetables and costs for all rail and air journeys and there’s an Android app we will try out
