Japan is known for being eclectic, and it certainly did not disappoint. The list of things to do, places to go, and people to see is seemingly endless. Japan will satisfy adventurous ones looking for quirky thrills, and more relaxed folk looking to see historical sites. Japan has everything from underwear vending machines to a beautiful natural environment. Athletic types would have their hands full with a climb up Mt. Fuji (though we only saw the beautiful mountain from afar, I can tell it would be quite an ambitious hike!) The fashion minded would enjoy the wide variety of local, modern, traditional, and...expressive clothing to see or buy. For those looking for a good show, fantastic artists like Hiromi Uehara excite. Japan's Winter Illuminations Festival makes for a memorable midnight walk. Many people from around the world come to see this dazzling light display. It was amazing to see the way the various aspects of nature were portrayed just by using tiny LED lights.
Overall, our trip to Japan was a great experience. Statistics show that 71% of online travelers want to take a trip to Japan, and 56% of those who have been to Japan would happily go again if given the chance. It was very different than our lives in the United States: people wore similar and different clothing, the food was tasty (but at times a quite exotic), and the people we met could not have been nicer to us "clueless American tourists"! As newly experienced Japan-goers, we highly recommend that you travel to this diverse country!
