Lovely write-up, Ashleigh! Glad you're having a great time. I agree about the feeling of safety and honesty in Japan - my boyfriend accidentally left his phone on a table in the Shinkansen and we assumed it was gone. But, no, we were able to collect it the next day from the lost and found! Enjoy your travels!
This is a lovely post with your perspectives, Ashleigh. I would like to hear another impression after your second visit to Japan, but it will take a while before you return. A single visit to Japan would not be enough. The country is profound and complex. Please come back and stay longer!
Wonderful story and pictures. We’ve just booked a cruise that visits both Japan and Korea, so looking forward to making my own evaluation. Wish I were younger like you and could live there for so long as you are staying. That’s how you get to understand a country. Keep up the good work!

I love that this seems to be the norm, not the exception! Thank you for reading, Claire 🥰
Love the pictures!!
I haven’t really wanted to see Japan since I was a child (decades ago) but you renewed my interest.
That’s such a compliment, thank you!
Anthony Bourdain wouldve approved this adventure🫶
The highest compliment! Thank you, Kayla 😌

20 years on and still finding it amazing but on much subtler levels.
Amazing, Allen, would love to hear those insights after 20 years
I know what you mean after visiting Japan twice. There are so many positives.
Michael, I already want to visit again, and I haven’t even left yet. 😊
Maybe just stay there?
Michael, I like the way you think 💡
