If you're thinking about visiting Japan but don't know how or haven't got that final push to book your trip, this'll give you some inspiration. Despite some views, Japan really is a wonderful place to visit and live!

Reason #3: Japanese Marketing (にほんのマーケティング)

Japanese marketing is everywhere; more so than in famous places like Times Square or Piccadilly Circus. While in those places, bright colors and signs are located around a central area, Japanese businesses place these types of things everywhere in cities like Tokyo and Osaka. This element of surprise makes Japanese tourism and life so interesting.

にほんのマーケチングはどこにでもある。よりおおくのよーにタイムズスクエアやピカデリーサーカスのよーなゆーめいなばしょでは。あかるいいろときごーは、ちゅーおーりょーいきのしゅーいされているいっぽーで。にほんきぎょーはでもとうきょうやおおさかなどとしーちゅ でものごとのこれらのしゅるいおおく。おどろきのこのよーそは。にほんのかんこおーぎょうなど、きょうみぶかいじんせいおつくる。

Reason #2: Convenience

The Japanese never fail to help each other out and make it as easy as possible. While Japan is hectic and a huge culture shock, the ease of transport and almost anything. The Japanese even make it as convenient as possible for themselves and others too, not just tourists. Things like copy machines at convenience stores and helpful signage everywhere in many languages are just a few examples!

Reason #1: The People

Japanese people are undoubtedly the nicest and most welcoming culture and population I've ever met. They're kind, understanding and helpful! Make sure to have a conversation with someone if you know some Japanese!
