I'll be traveling to Japan for the first time in my life and I'm super excited! I'm coming from Europe - and I don't know anything about Japan besides the great snow for snowboarding.
Obviously, I'm reading a lot and trying to prepare and research as much as possible - but it gets very overwhelming at times. I'll be happy to get some first-hand tips.
1) One week in Tokyo – what are your top things to see / eat / do I should add to my list?
2) Most important things to know about the Japanese culture – unwritten rules, respectful or disrespectful behaviours, etc.?
3) Internet – I will need reliable internet to use for work. What are your top tips if the accommodation doesn't have strong wi-fi?
4) I'll spend 2 months near Madarao Winter Resort for snowboarding. Any tips about winter sports in Japan?
5) Any tours, tour guides, experiences you can recommend?
