Over The Top Japan

Lately I've been looking up websites while contemplating what are the more important things I should do during the first trip to Japan. I think Angie has covered the most important ones like Mount Fuji and Tokyo Disneyland, and I've added the super touristy Tsukiji market to my list, along with a few places to eat.

Looking through all the things about Japan, I would say that "weird" would be a bit of an unfair and slightly mean description of the things they have there. I think "over the top" would be better as they're obviously very dignified and spirited about their culture, and are always striving to make things better and more interesting. It's like one of the suggestions I found while looking through TimeOut's list and couldn't help but giggle at the thought of Angie and the rest going for it - the karaoke session in a jacuzzi.

However, I feel this OTT quality is good when it comes to the food scene when they are always trying to "up their game" and come up with new twists to good old dishes, or simply creating one store which sells every kind of yakitori from all over Japan. Makes it easier for me!

Getting so excited!!
