Japan is a unique country to travel to because of the wonderful mix of culture, diversity, modern technology, old world character, and eastern charm. The modern comforts of home are always available, but its never surprising to find yourself in a confusing social or cultural situation. The colors, sights and sounds of Tokyo keep you filled with adrenaline late into the night, but if you wake up early in the morning you can find the character and charm of a city that is cloaked in history. It’s easy to fill many days in Tokyo or elsewhere. Find a place for karaoke, dine on some udon noodles, wander through a park, or shop. The energy of Japan’s cities truly keep you up all night. Allow yourself to step outside of your comfort zone. Make sure to soak up both this modern, technology driven country, but also get lost in the old alleyways of the old towns. Step into a shop and meet the old man selling teapots. Grab a snack from a street stall or enjoy conveyor belt sushi with businessmen at lunch.
