Japan is a such a fascinating place, but people who visit are doing exactly the same as they are at home country.
There so many places and way of about life is so different and so fascinating.
Yet the approach is falling on to the tourist trap and goring through the guide books and google apps and maps to visit the country.
Trust me there are ways to avoid all of this each step you take and end up in places where Japanese people are so welcoming and wishing to do more than you expect.
