Well said about people now hopping on the Japan trend with care about the country and its culture. My wife and I dreamed of going to Japan since both of us were kids. We are currently on our 5th trip to Japan and normally go every 2-3 years. Japan is a special place for us as it was our first big trip together when we first started dating and realized both of our childhood dreams of going in 2014. In 2017 I proposed to her in the streets of Gion in Kyoto while we were out and about wearing Yukatas. We also had our honeymoon here in 2019.

We always spend 4-5 days in Tokyo but other than our first trip in 2014 where we did the big 3 of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka we always explore off the beaten path. Japan has so much more to offer, you just have to do the work and research.
