  • What are some local dishes to try in Japan?

    Trying local cuisine is a must. Sushi, ramen, tempura, and okonomiyaki are well-known dishes.

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Japan?

    A week allows for exploring multiple areas. A popular itinerary combines Tokyo for modern city life, Kyoto for traditional culture, and perhaps a day trip to Nara to see its famous deer park.
