Summary: Japan

Japan has to go either at the top, or nearly at the top of my favourite countries list. I think Chaing Mai manages to beat everywhere in Japan, but Japan probably manages to beat Thailand.

Japanese people are lovely and everything is efficient and runs well. You're more likely to have trouble ordering food than you are to have trouble getting from one part of Japan to the other, and you'll end up with some food.

It's a bit expensive though, so bring plenty of money.

Best Hostel - Sakura Hostel, Tokyo.

Highlight - Knacker drinking in Kyoto
Lowpoint - Walking for an hour to get to the Fukuoka Tower

Other cool things - Rockabillies in Harajuku!

One piece of advice - get a rail pass if you want to move outside of Tokyo.
