AROUND TOWN
Is it bucket list worthy?
Absolutely!
Japan stands as the single most amazing country I have ever visited and it’s not even close!
When I am asked to recommend one country to go to, I always say Japan.
It’s absolutely fantastic!
And I even have to admit that I am actually a beach kind of person.
Maldives and the Caribbean are where my heart is. I love the white beaches and the blue sea but Japan…. what can I say, besides listening to Nike! Just do it! Go!
From the moment we set foot on Japanese soil I knew this was something special – it’s the simple things that make this country stand out.
The airport train was so clean that we could eat off the floor if we wanted to, did not try though!
The day to day actions of the citizens of Japan is what truly makes this country unique and an absolute bliss to visit!
That and all the cool buildings and temples of course as well as the best sushi in the world!
Simple things such as getting into an elevator, using escalators or boarding a train pretty much blew my mind.
Walking around Tokyo and never spotting a trash bin, but at the same time never seeing any trash anywhere is almost confusing!
How is this even possible? It definitely wouldn’t be possible here in Europe where I am from or in the US of A but the values of the people in Japan are just so different compared to the ones in our part of the world – it’s all about honor and responsibility from this amazing people and I absolutely love it!
Besides meeting these amazing people, temple hunting is the thing to do!
The architecture is stunning and we used days walking around checking out the different temples and shrines and I really can’t recommend this country enough!
