There’s a world of difference in how you experience a place as a resident versus tourist. Japan is not one of the countries I’ve lived in, but I feel like I came close. I’ve spent a few weeks across a couple of trips to Japan 2012 onwards and it definitely felt like I lived there - staying in a tiny apartment, buying groceries, cooking my own food, going to work, cycling around, shopping and doing my own laundry.
Wonderful post. It's the one country I desperately want to visit!
Nice post! That's one country I want to travel to.
