so great i want to go back — 3 years ago
i went to japan when i was 16 (holy crap, that was 14 years ago!), and visited friends around the country. i stayed primarily in himeji and would recommend going there to anyone who visits japan. it’s not as crazy as tokyo, and the castle is super cool. i also spent time in a zen monastery in osaka, and also went to hiroshima, nara, and kyoto. i would really love to go back someday.
