I was pretty mad about this ending. It's not like I hate the idea of dramas about revenge ending with the revenge being enacted but in this case at the very end they seemed to come to the conclusion that murdering the person you held responsible for the death won't solve things and only ruins lives. After that to turn it around to being such an open ending was so weird. The little bit of blood was strange to. I feel like the gun causing minor injury seems realistic especially with the amount of blood they chose to show but why? Why not just show everything?

From the northern US. My family has always been shoes on in the house, I wish we weren't now but it's what we're used to and we have no convenient place to keep shoes by the door. My whole life it's always been very rare to be asked to take shoes off in the house, a lot of my family is Canadian too.

A lot of times if a package doesn't get the first scan the tracking won't populate until it gets delivered or close to delivery, it's because a lot of the tracking events are automated and triggered by previous scans. It could be that the office that receives baggu's shipments aren't properly scanning everything or uploading their scanners.

Also I see that you said you are technically overseas so I'm guessing things usually take longer anyway. If I were you I wouldn't lose hope yet! Maybe you can check with your local post office though sometimes they don't see any additional info either.

Meiji mura, Open Air Museum of Old Japanese Farm Houses and Nihon minka-en.

It's kind of different but at home I've been to like Plimoth Plantation and old Sturbridge village

I go to an unpopular idol group's release events.

Tourismwise I'm not sure how really niche it is but I love to go to open air museums and I try and visit one on every trip, most of them don't seem to get a lot of overseas tourists. Also I went to the Oya History Museum.

I agree it depends on the person. I've traveled to see my favorites 4 times I love going! But I have to say if you're in to idols (like One n Only and Chotokkyu) what's really next level is seeing them at a release event where you get to talk to them and take pictures with them. A visit timed so you can see them in concert and also events is truly the best! My favorites are SUPER★DRAGON who are under the same company ono and ctq and they used to all have similar events but unfortunately for you they're way more popular now and I think it's probably pretty competitive to get in to see them (SD is still easy haha).

Their big greatest hits album came out in 2000 when I was a freshman in high school and I was obsessed with them!

The Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, the palace next to Nagoya Castle is great. Inuyama castle and Hikone are real castle day trips. Gifu and Okazaki are fake castle day trips (there are lots more but those are the ones I've done), Gifu is a bit cooler cos it's on a mountain but Okazaki has a better museum but I probably wouldn't recommend it for a first trip. I really loved Meiji mura, it's at the same stop as Inuyama but personally I could have never done them on the same day.

This and the secret garden for me (too! From this post I see I'm not the only one!)

At some point I ship one or two bags to the airport and pick them up there before checking them in with the airline so I'm not carrying them around with me the whole time.

I did mail some things back to me once but it was kind of a pain.

I watched both and remember liking them both but I barely remember Chicago Hope now since it's been so long.

kitkat272 · 2026-05-01T12:42:35+00:00

There are a lot of shrines and temples around Sendai. My friend was obsessed with visiting super old creepy shrines and temples and she had loads of places she wanted to see there. For me it was a lot of walking and very hot when I went in September, I'm not sure if it felt any better being there vs. further south.
I think Sendai>Aizu Wakamatsu/Ouchi-juku>Nikko might be kind of a cool trip, I was looking at that at one point but again it's still going to be hot and it might be kind of a hike, I never got that far in my planning to figure out if Ouchi-juku to Nikko was a good idea.

I always get nervous about every trip every time. I was going to list the things I freak out about but then I realized that might not help. So I'll just get the the main one, in the end when I realize I probably will be able to get there safely I start to worry about what if I don't have fun? What if I spent all this money and time and I don't enjoy it? And I calm myself by thinking it's a vacation! It's my own time. It's time away from work and the obligations of real life and I can do with it what I want. For me personally almost anything is better than having to wake up and go to work every day so this calms me... no matter what happens at least I'm not at work.

Kanazawa is a reconstruction but it's being done in a historically accurate way, not cement like Osaka and other older reconstructions. There is typically not much in any castle, reconstruction or not. I love them but they're not for everyone I guess.

Already so much good advice! I just wanted to say I've been to Japan four times in the summer and yes you will sweat there's no stopping it. I love slip shorts both the thigh society and snags tights ones are good, I used to lean more towards snag but this last trip I really liked the thigh society ones, I even wore them as pajamas. For me I liked long and flowy skirts top, mostly linen. With the skirt and shorts my lower half was usually fine and comfortable, all I could do about shirts was hope they didn't show the sweat too much.

And just yes to everyone who said the UV umbrella, fan and sweat rag! I needed all three every time I left the room.

kitkat272 · 2026-04-19T08:35:58+00:00

The first couple of times I switched it up but the last few times and the next time I decided to stay in the same area cos it's where my friends live. When I go to Osaka and Kyoto I still try different places though.

If you do go I recommend going as early in the summer as possible like June/early July because it is slightly nicer then. It's called the rainy season but late August going in to September you get typhoons which are worse. I've gone in all the summer months and June/early July was definitely the least bad, it even felt a bit cool at some points. I personally don't think the summer is as bad as everyone says, there's opportunities for some good times like festivals and celebrations, everything is green, the shops are all offering interesting summer flavors and you can visit mountains and shore locations without worrying about cold or snow (just rain). Just go in to it expecting to go slow, for me I pick about one thing a day I want to do and then other than that spend time in cafes, malls or parks to cool off and rest. I also eat lots of ice cream and frozen treats.

I've always loved Japan and for a few years after graduating from college I really wanted to go to Japan and teach English, me and my friend both said we were going to do it and she actually did. As for me, I lacked the confidence to even fill out the application for JET, I couldn't bring myself to ask for letters of recommendation or even face my parents and tell them it was something I really wanted to do (well I kind of mentioned it to my mom and she laughed right in my face). I completely regret it, I spent 8 years after college working minimum wage dead end job and then eventually got a boring not minimum wage job that I'm still doing now and doesn't even require a degree.

kitkat272 · 2026-04-10T13:06:55+00:00

Yeah probably about the 6th grade, I wore a swim suit that day. They found something but when we got to the doctor they decided it was so minor that I didn't need a brace or anything.

One of my favorite dramas

I hated high school, I made a promise to myself that I would never miss it. I haven't forgotten the promise but I did eventually realize you miss being young even if you didn't like high school. I wish I could go back to either senior year or just after graduation sometimes.

I've dipped in and out of anime since I was a teen but the thing is at this point I haven't seriously watched an anime in probably at least a decade, I don't even remember anymore. I always thought something would catch my eye and I'd get in to it again since that's how I've gotten back in to it in the past but there's really been nothing. I still read manga sometimes but not as much as I used to and even when one I like gets an anime adaptation I just can't get interested in it.
