Things to do in Japan?
I plan to go to Japan around the end of march with my friend We plan to spend about a week and go to Tokyo and then Kyoto and maybe Nara, Osaka and Himeji. I am primarily going to go in the spring to see the cherry blossoms and it isn't blistering hot.
There is also a cool light festival around the same time in kyoto called Hanatoro but I think id miss cherry blossom season if I went since it is a week before they start blooming but it might be worth missing considering a guy that has been living there for 20 years says they almost always get rained out.. anyways I have a list of places I plan to go to within those cities and I was wondering if you guys have been there before or if you have some tips or cool places I could visit there.

3 RepliesUnless you are fluent in Japanese try to stay near city centers, the further you stray from the cities the more xenophobic people will be. They won't be mean to you but you can tell that most people that don't have experience with foreigners are VERY uncomfortable with people that aren't from their country. Luckily you will be somewhat feared, white people are often seen as intimidating in my experience. Also, ignore anyone telling you to try to sleep with Japanese girls, the Japanese people prefer elegance over ruggedness. They will take a good looking skinny man over someone who looks toughs and scary.
