I have always wanted to visit Japan, John, but the high cost of a holiday there was always off-putting so I went scuba diving in Thailand, Malaysia or the Philippines. It is fascinating for sure; Sumo wrestlers, magnicent blossoms, sushi/sake, bullet trains etc.. Lots of photo opportunities. I used to read Yukio Mishima books and the traditions fascinate me: https://mai-ko.com/travel/culture-in-japan/japanese-culture-1/#:~:text=Some of the interesting traditions,when meeting with loved ones Different accommodations too: https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2025.html The traditional Ryokan looked amazing.
