Going to Japan for the third time the first 2 weeks of August and couldn’t be more excited!
(I know it’s going to be hot and humid and that it coincides with Obon but had to choose those dates to make it work for friends)
Wanted some additional recommendations for things to do, eat, and see in Japan that are a bit more that what you’d typically see off the first 2 pages of Google
Thing I really enjoy:
* attending baseball games
* arcades
* shopping (particularly for men’s clothing, anime merchandise, Pokemon merchandise)
* activities where we make things (i.e. Cup Noodle Museum, knives, pottery)
* regional foods
* Aquariums and Zoos (been to Osaka Aquarium and Kobe Animal Kingdom)
Things I haven’t done but am interested in:
* Onsen
* Ryokan
* art exhibits (teamLabs)
* summer festival
* Keirin track in Muko-city, Kyoto
Things I’m less keen on:
* temples
* amusement parks
