Japan: Land of the Rising Sun

Hello guys! I just want to share my travel experience from Japan (2017) and it is undoubtedly the best experience in my lifetime.

Here is a picture as I arrived in Narita Airport.

Of course, when traveling to a different country, you need to pass through their security; it is quite intimidating, but rest assured they will just do their jobs. Before going to Japan, I made a plan on where to go, what to do, where should I eat and where should I stay in. I also researched on how to properly behave in Japan because I would be ashamed of myself if I made a mistake that I think is just not right.

The Infamous Shibuya Crossing

Rumored to be the busiest intersection in the world (and definitely in Japan), Shibuya Crossing is like a giant beating heart, sending people in all directions with every pulsing light change. Perhaps nowhere else says ‘Welcome to Tokyo’ better than this. In my opinion, Shibuya is probably the New York City of Japan. It has everything you need, shopping malls, hotels, bars, prestigious restaurants, and entertainments.

Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion), Kyoto

This may be the best tourist spot for Kyoto, it just represents the coexistence of the old culture and tradition to the modern Japan, that Japanese still, up to this day, follow and adhere. To go to Kyoto, it is probably best to ride a bullet train. Not only you would experience the highly sophisticated advanced Japanese technology, but you will also see beautiful sceneries and the chance to see Mt. Fuji while riding a Shikansen (bullet train)!

My memories from 2017 travel experience in Japan is hazy and fuzzy now, but if you have the luxury and time— going to Japan is worth all of it. I would rate my travel experience in Japan as 9.6/10. You can always make a money, but making memories isn’t. Travel now and have a good experience!!!
