AD – Don’t fall for these tourist traps in Japan! Themed cafes may look cool on social media but they’re expensive and the food is often disappointing. The bamboo forest in Kyoto is super crowded and doesn’t always match up to the beautiful photos you’ve seen online. Takeshita Dori is no longer the funky fashion hotspot it used to be, and you’ll have to deal with huge crowds. Plus, be wary of dodgy shops and touts trying to rip you off. But don’t worry, Japan is still one of the safest places to visit with fewer tourist traps compared to other countries. Check Skyscanner for cheap flights and come explore this amazing country!

those touts?
tall Nigerian dudes trying to get you to go to their store, so they can sell you their off-brand/counterfeit clothing?
managed to get out of that by telling them my suitcase was full. then I bought another suitcase and filled it with other stuff
Thanks for the tips! 🙂
Bamboo Forest: go around 6-7 am. Its amazing.
Spot on. We got scammed at cafe
Nah, Arashiyama's still worth a visit. And anywhere in Harajuku is fun.
But but… Themed cafes there look fun 😢
