    FYI for folks considering Japanese travel plans: Kyoto: definitely checks all the boxes for a distinctively Japanese travel experience. Tokyo: as advertised, could not be experienced in its entirety in 3 lifetimes. You can find *anything* and the search for it is half the fun.https://twitter.com/alinajaf/status/945335560658440192 …

    I dunno, I hear good things about Kyoto and have visited a couple of times. I feel like you could spend multiple lifetimes in Tokyo and still not see all it has to offer.

        Will the experience change if one is a vegetarian?

        Japan can accommodate vegetarians but it has some frustrations and you’re going to find yourself repeating yourself quite a bit, especially outside of Tokyo.

        the Meguro Parasitological Museum was closed for renovations during my 2nd visit, but seems to be open again. It appears that a parasite researcher came out and sold me the T-shirt with a cutaway diagram of a parasite that I got there.

        I had been here a few times for work. Now back w/ family on vacation, they are in absolute awe. I think many people in the West (at least my relatives/friends in US, Europe and South America) underestimate the amazing experience, and overestimate its cost and language barrrier.

        Kyoto and Hakone are both amazing, and an awesome contrast to Tokyo

        I agree with all your points except being able to find "anything". Tokyo is no longer the electronics Mecca that it once was. Still a fabulous, wonderful place to visit though.
