MAIN CITIES IN JAPAN

Welcome to Japan, the land of anime, sushi, and toilets with more buttons than your smartphone. We’re going to take a trip through some of the major cities in Japan, but don’t worry, we won’t make you eat any raw fish if you don’t want to.

First stop, Tokyo. The city that never sleeps, except for the salarymen on the train who are always asleep. Tokyo is a place where you can find anything you want, from robot cafes to karaoke bars where you can sing your heart out while dressed as a unicorn. But be warned, Tokyo can be expensive, so if you’re on a budget, you might have to settle for a vending machine meal instead of sushi.

Next up is Kyoto, the city of temples and geishas. It’s a place where you can experience the beauty and tranquility of traditional Japan, but be prepared to fight off hordes of tourists armed with selfie sticks. And if you’re looking for a romantic getaway, Kyoto has plenty of love hotels where you can spend the night in a room decorated like a Hello Kitty-themed disco.

Now we have Osaka, the food capital of Japan. This is where you’ll find the best takoyaki (octopus balls) and okonomiyaki (savoury pancakes) in the country. But be careful, the street food in Osaka is so good, you might end up eating your weight in snacks and blowing your budget on food. And if you need to burn off those extra calories, head to Dotonbori, the neon-lit district where you can dance with giant crabs and blowfish.

Finally, we have Hiroshima, a city that has risen from the ashes of tragedy to become a beacon of hope and resilience. It’s a place where you can learn about the devastating impact of the atomic bomb, but also experience the warmth and hospitality of the locals. And if you’re feeling brave, try the local specialty of oysters, which are so big, they might as well be small plates.

So there you have it, a whirlwind tour of some of the major cities in Japan. Whether you’re into anime, temples, food, or history, Japan has something to offer. Just remember, always carry a pack of tissues with you, because those toilets with more buttons than your smartphone can be a bit overwhelming.
