I’ve wanted to visit Japan for a long time, but I’ve always associated this kind of journey as a very expensive one, mostly because of the fact that in the 90s, visiting the Country was something that really had a high price, more or less like the idea of a cruise on sea. Well, I later discovered that in recent times it is not so anymore; I mean, don’t get me wrong, it can become expensive, but if you know where to look and you can adapt, you can certainly have a terrific holiday without emptying your wallet in the process.
In 2015 a friend of mine who has already been there in the past, asked me if I wanted to join and I gladly accepted, mainly for two reasons: the first one was my desire to visit this Country and learn more about its culture (that has always fascinated me) and the second one is because my friend knew how to speak the language and was already accustomed with the way of life there, making it easier for me to fit in, considering that I did not know a word at the time.
Here you can find the journals of my holidays in the Sun Rise Nation for the sharing.
