[@signeknudsen8513]

Most Japanese people have studied English for ten years in school. They are shy about speaking and will say they don't speak English but in fact a person who speaks no Japanese will have no trouble getting by in Japan. Most Japanese understand English grammar better than many native English speakers. They value education there. The Japanese people have to learn to read and write 2000 characters in order to be fully literate and are learning them right through high school. It's a different mentality there. They are diligent people. Also polite, kind, peaceful, ethical and fun-loving.

Loving this spontaneous solo adventure to Japan. Went there a couple years ago with some friends and loved it, but barely touched the size of the country (mainly stayed in Tokyo and Kyoto). As much as you are an outdoors/scenery/environment type of person, don't hesitate to spend extra $$ on food and eating out! Food is another way to learn and enjoy the culture, it'd be a waste to not enjoy it while you're there!
