nitelyfe, I was in Japan about four years ago and stayed with a family for a couple of weeks.
Some of the things that I enjoyed the most were the ordinary, everday things to them. Going to the mall, a huge department store and even just getting gas were interesting. The basic things that you think will probably be pretty similar to the US being so completely different was great.
I had to get out my scrapbook to see what some of the best things I did were.
-went to a traditional Japanese drum ceremony, that was awesome
-visited Kumamoto Castle and some other places like that were really interesting because of the completely different architecture
-went to an arts and crafts show that I got a lot of good souveneirs at
-fed the fish and picked up a fortune at abeautiful Japanese Garden
-tried raw horse at a sushi bar
-and one of the things my family enjoyed most, took pictures of the toilet in my familys house with all the buttons for air flow and water control and even the remote hanging on the wall
What area are you guys going to? Is it with a company or just friends? I'd love to go back and hopefully will someday.
