Sushi🍣, ramen🍜, and tempura🍤 are must-tries! - Pay attention to traffic rules. Pedestrians walk on the left🚶‍♀️, and drivers should yield to pedestrians🚗. - When shopping, check the voltage and plug type to avoid buying something you can't use back home🔌! A trip to Japan is not just about sightseeing, but also a cultural experience. I hope you discover more of your own stories in this land!
