When Caro and I first landed in Tokyo, we were completely overwhelmed — in the best way possible. Every corner of the city felt like a new discovery. The variety of food blew us away: from tiny street snacks to perfectly curated sushi, matcha desserts, and quirky themed cafés, every bite was an adventure. Tokyo’s vibes were unmatched: the futuristic buildings, the neon lights, and the constant hum of the city made every street feel alive. We couldn’t stop marveling at the modern, spotless train system, the heated toilets (yes, it’s a thing!), and even the subway fashion — everyone is impeccably dressed! And of course, exploring the anime corners and pop culture hubs felt like stepping into another world entirely.
Japan has something for everyone — it’s a country where tradition meets the future. Wander through serene temples and bamboo forests one day, and hop on the Shinkansen to neon-lit cities the next. Recent travel trends show that immersive experiences like teamLab digital art museums, real-life Mario Kart go-kart tours, and hands-on cooking classes are a must-do for young travelers. From foodie adventures in Osaka to nature escapes in Hakone or Okinawa, Japan is packed with Instagram-worthy moments and cultural experiences that stay with you long after you leave.
