I do think, like I think, if you love food, if you love design, if you love really just anything like Japan is that it should be on your radar.
But I do have some thoughts on it. For anybody who's going to Japan for the first time, which is like you said, you don't kind of overplan, I'd say one altra thing is like try to end your trip in Tokyo. I don't think to start. I say that because for me, I want to shop, uh, and I will shop wherever, but I think, like it's with Tokyo, there's so many things that I end up buying.
I would say Japan's probably the only time in my I've definitely did it in my life, but in my thirties where because usually it's been by myself where Keiths will be like are you okay? Are it just like there's this because it's too.
