Introduction

Okay, okay. I may have said in my final blog post from Sandlerfest that I was planning on doing an in-time travel blog while I was in Japan. Clearly that did not work out, did it? Today, I am a week removed from my trip and it turns out that spending up to 14 hours a day doing activities doesn't really lend itself to having enough time to write a blog post. Plus, can you really blame me? I was exhausted at the end of every day, and I think it was a good idea to prioritize the enjoyment of my trip over content! Sue me!

But, that doesn't mean I can't do a recap. So here's what I'm going to do! I'm going to do a recap for each leg of my 3 week journey to Japan. I had a really interesting trip, and I think there's a lot to share that you might not get to see anywhere else, especially considering it was my 3rd time visiting. So without further ado, here's my recapped blog of my trip to Japan!
