Yep, everything but everything was wonderfully unique and different.
I had Blade Runner in my head whilst my son had Ghibli in his. Neither of us were at all disappointed. Beautiful people, beautiful places. We both had what we can only describe as a trip of a lifetime.
We ticked off everything on our 'Japanese bingo card' - except an employee wearing a store mascot costume. Lots of catchy ear-candy store tunes ringing in our ears months later though!
Could you share what was on your Japan bingo card? Sounds like fun!

I might have forgotten one or two though.
We knew we'd missed Ghibli Park
and totally forgot to look out for the shop run by a dog and the giant tortoise being walked in the street.
Phew, and we saw all this in just over 2 weeks!
