All inclusive trip to japan

Taking an all-inclusive trip to Japan is the dream of many people around the world, since the Japanese country has a unique attraction that results from the interest of the West. It is curious how in a short time, tourism in this site has increased so much in recent years.

There are two big reasons for this: the global popularization of anime and the huge boom in Asian culture. Since the early 1990s, Asian culture (mainly Japan and South Korea) has gradually begun to penetrate daily life in Western countries, creating a strong desire to visit places of interest in the future,

If you are one of the lucky ones who are about to see their dreams come true and you will visit the country of the rising sun for the first time, between the excitement and the travel plans, we want you to take a little break and keep in mind some things that you have to know before starting your dream trip.

not everything is sushi

Japanese gastronomy is made up of an impressive variety of dishes, therefore, if you spend a few days in this country, do not limit yourself to trying the sushi bars until you find the one you like best. In addition to the variety of styles that this dish has to present itself, the recipes that make up typical Japanese food are quite an experience for foreign palates. As an extra piece of information, and especially for people who try to integrate a vegetarian diet into their lives, you should know that in Japan these types of meals are not common, since the people of the country have a purist culture regarding their cuisine and do not seek to adapt so much to outside tastes, then it will probably be difficult for you to find food that fits your new eating habits.

Vending machines

If travel and lodging expenses left you with a limited budget for restaurant meals, don’t worry about it! If something really characterizes this Japan, it is the number of vending machines in which they sell products of all kinds, such as food and drinks (hot or cold). In addition, in this type of machines you can also buy or find clothes, internet cards, personal hygiene items, among other items for daily use, no one said that these machines were only for small gifts and decoration items.

Hygiene before going

As you already know, one of the things that you cannot do is enter a house with shoes on, a rule that also applies to a certain establishment, as a requirement by social norm (remember that they are very rigorous in etiquette and protocol), so it is very important that you take care of your personal hygiene before you go and buy very cool socks for your trip.

Public Toilets

Don’t be afraid to go inside one of these, as they are much cleaner than any this side of the world. Remember that for oriental culture personal hygiene is something important, so not wanting to occupy a public bathroom could be considered disrespectful or as a person who does not care about their hygiene.

You are a tourist

Japan is one of the countries most jealous of its culture and traditions. Therefore, if you are not an expert in the culture, then do not constantly try to show that you know a lot, it is best if you ask when in doubt or small questions that you are not sure about, otherwise you could end up offending someone local.
