Japan 🇯🇵

1️⃣ STOP: TOKYO

I was immediately delighted by the kindness of Japanese people. They're Always ready to give you help even if not everyone speaks english. They're very welcoming and helpful to tourists.

Tokyo is a huge mix of advanced technology and consumerism on one side and ancient traditions and culture on the other. Those two create unique vibes in the city that attract people from all over the world.
