Coolest Places to Visit in Japan

If safety is your concern, note that Tokyo is known to be one of the safest cities in the world. It is actually one of the most pleasant places in the world to travel.

Regarding the language issue – there’s no problem navigating the Tokyo subway, since all signs are in English too. Regarding the rest of Japan – English does become a rare virtue the further you travel from city centers, but you can always get along in Restaurants by pointing the food you’d like to order from the plastic models presented in the Restaurant window. Japanese people are very helpful, and beside the embarrassed giggles they will accompany you to your destination (much easier than giving directions in English).

So here are…
