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.

  • Stay in the city centers. Try to keep your English to a minimum in the country. If you do have to go to the country and you have a smartphone, download a translator app and type in what you want in English and have the app translate it to Japanese. If you're visiting someone important, try not to act "casual". Always act formal. Address your elders with respect and treat them like you would your older relatives of your immediate and extended family. Respect goes a very long way in Japanese society. If you're hanging out with friends, play some of the arcade games. The selection is huge. Don't eat sushi at night. Trust me on this. If you see neon lights with a heart and a few buildings that have similar neon signs, make a 180 and walk that way. You don't want to be in that district. Go drinking if you're over 20.
