I'm 29, never left the country. My bucket list is visiting Japan at the very top. I have no idea what you do or if you have to go through travel agencies, how much money you should bring etc

Try and match the overall body language and energy of the calmest people around you.

Japan’s big on people paying attention to one another and accommodating one another, without making a big deal out of it.

Tokyo’s got the best sidewalk flow I’ve ever seen.

Overall, be circumspect. Keep your eyes open and notice what everyone is doing. Don’t be boisterous or gregarious. Quietly respectful is your best approach.
