Meticulous, clean and efficient. That’s my impression of the "Land of the Rising Sun" during my short visit. According the Japanese Tourist Organisation (JNTO) tourism is a vital part of the economy and the number of foreign inbound tourists has been steadily increasing for the past 6 months (MAY-OCT13). Statistics for 2012 reported that it is ranked number 7th. in Asia for international tourist arrivals.
There’s a vast array of historical sites which should not be
missed. They each have interesting and unique backgrounds which date back
several decades. However, be prepared for an unusually large-scale of students
visiting these places. Without a doubt it is educational and an excellent
activity to be included in the curricular. Vending machines are a common sight,
which is very convenient if you need refreshments.
Japan is a paradise for eccentric shoppers. Most of the
goods and foodstuffs are of high quality. However, be sure to have extra cash
as they are quite pricey. It’s ranked 6th.
in the World Cost of Living Index 2013, just after Norway. One special and delectable pastry is the Tokyo Banana. It would be wise to
do your homework as there are certain goods which are available only in Japan.
There are unlimited choices and sometimes it’s difficult to make a decision.
Sales personnel are very helpful, polite and systematic. They reflect an
extraordinary level of efficiency which is quite amazing compared to most
countries.
It’s a worthwhile trip and should be included in
every avid travellers list.
