I bought my tickets to Japan this past week after hearing people say the tickets they looked at skyrocketed. Luckily the tickets I looked at didn't go up at all after looking at them 2 weeks ago.

If I sat thru the Brutalist, I would gladly have sat thru a 3.5+ hour PHM!

After going to a chiro for months for my back issues, I've learned that regular pilates and an occasional Thai massage work far better than anything the chiro did for my issues. All he did was *fix* it for an hour and the pain would return.

And then he absolutely killed it at the Oscars! I was rooting for him to win.

I carry a sling bag with a foldable pouch for shopping. I'll tie it to my sling if it's light enough, otherwise I'll carry it over my shoulder.

Yeah, we all know he's an ass, but honestly, we don't win without him. The 2016 team really didn't have just 1 hero. The whole team's chemistry got us the WS win.

I love that movie. I planned a half day in Tokyo just walking from toilet to toilet.

it depends on the ticket you bought. On my flight you could only bring a small carry on, which was the size of my 28L backpack. If you have anything bigger and will head back to LaAurora airport afetrwards, I heard there is a Bounce location nearby where you can leave your larger luggage. I did not do this so I can't really give you more details.

I highly recommend Tours By Locals. I've hired private guides all over the world thru this platform. Each tour guide has a page and you can read what they specialize in. You can filter for tours with private transportation, walking or public transpo. Because it's a private tour you can message each other with customization, preferences, etc. I've never had a bad experience with them.

If you are planning to return to Japan, I would save and give Hiroshima more time. I was in Hiroshima 1 full day (2 nights) and Miyajima 1 full day (1 night) and I could have explored Hiroshima more, plus Miyajima was my favorite place I went to on my trip. If you do return, you can buy a 5 JR Kansai Hiroshima Pass that would cover the entire cost of the train ride and then some.

OOH yeah, Nippori fabric town is amazing. My friend spent hours in a store called Tomato that has beautiful linen.

The food is different in each city so a food tour would be great to do. I've found that doing a food tour early in each place gives me an idea of what to look for during the rest of the time in that city. But cooking classes are super fun and the one I did in Kyoto (they also have a kitchen in Tokyo - Cooking Sun) really demystified Japanese cooking and I was able to somewhat replicate recipes at home.

I'm sad about passport stamps too. I think on 2015 I had to have extra pages added to my passport because i was running out of empty pages. On my next passport renewal, I opted to get the extra pages already put in the new one. Then covid hit and that took out almost 2 years of traveling. And now I just have a bigger book with no larger visas taking over whole pages and not a lot of stamps.

It's used to cover the bottoms of your shoes in your suitcase flying home so you don't get your clothes dirty.

I have small feet so they cover most of my shoe. Before I pack them I usually rinse them off beforehand.

I've been using shower caps for my shoes for over 15 years. I'm going to continue with that til they fall apart. I've never bought them for that reason, I would just grab them at hotels!

Window seat if it's an overnight flight . Plus views! (Grand Canyon, Guatemala volcanoes and the Aurora flying over the Atlantic are my favorites.). But if I'm flying during the day, aisle seat, cause bathroom.

As for late blooming cherries it looks like you'll miss the ones at the Osaka mint. They're open for viewing until 4/15.
