Our family spent 2 weeks in Japan, and it was an amazing trip. Tokyo, Hakone, and Kyoto, and several other places. Here are some of the highlights. If you want to visit Japan, get a travel agent and go! It’s worth it! Our travel agent was Madison Straight with Straight off the Mainland travel. https://www.straightoffthemainland.com/

A clean, beautiful, and safe country with precious people! I took probably 1000 pictures, this is just a very few of them and the fun we had!!! Pictures do not do any of it justice! Ride a bullet train! Figure out the Subway! Eat your weight in Japanese delicacies!!! Just go!!!

We visited Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, and more! We ate great food and saw fun districts, and had a lovely time. Pictures say it all, so here are a few from Tokyo!
