Tips from the creator5

How to adjust to jet lag in Japan?
Push through the first day without napping, stay awake as long as possible, and go to bed at a normal local time to reset your sleep schedule.
Logistics7:26
Can you eat while walking in Japan?
No — generally, street food is meant to be eaten in front of the stall. Walking with food is considered rude.
Etiquette21:37
Is Don Quijote expensive?
Don Quijote is a must-visit for a wide range of products, but be prepared to spend a lot of money due to the sheer volume of tempting items.
Money27:04
How to meet people while traveling in Japan?
Join a bar crawl, especially in cities like Osaka. It's a great way to meet other travelers, learn about new destinations, and get recommendations.

How to properly eat sushi in Japan?
Drip soy sauce on top of the fish instead of dipping the rice into the soy sauce. This preserves the integrity of the rice and flavor.
