95+ Best Japanese Dog Names

Any real traveler should visit Japan at least once in his life. You will not find anything similar on our planet anywhere else – even the geographically close and developmental South Korea does not make the same stunning impression as Japan.

Japan is an amazing fusion of carefully guarded ancient traditions and state-of-the-art technologies. A bonus is the unique Japanese mentality, organization, and everyday habits – for example, I have not seen such ideal cleanliness on a national scale anywhere else in the world (even in Singapore, famous for its sterility).

There is an opinion that it is very difficult to travel to Japan on your own – they say, you need to know the language, the customs are strange, everything is expensive, although the Japanese smile, they keep a fig in their pockets .. With this guide, I will try to dispel these myths as much as I can. Firstly, basic English vocabulary is quite enough for traveling in Japan – it is quite enough to solve almost all the questions that arise along the way. As for prices, their level is quite comparable with Western Europe.
