Why Travel To Japan
Reasons Why Japan is My Favorite Country to Travel
Respectful People
One of the main reasons to travel to Japan is for people! The Japanese are well known for being extremely polite.
While the majority of Japanese do not have strong English skills, they are still welcome foreigners in their land. It’s common for them to provide help and exhibit compassion towards visitors.
The Food
Ever since I was in high school and tried sushi for the first time, I fell in love with Japanese food, at least what I thought was Japanese food. On my first trip to Japan, I set out to find and eat at every sushi restaurant possible. Then I realized there is so much more to Japanese food than sushi! My next find would be Ramen.
Ramen is now a favorite of mine, and it’s a Japanese staple known for being cheap and cheerful that locals eat all the time. Personally, there is nothing better than a hot bowl of ramen on a cold winter day in Japan. The famous noodle soup dish that usually has noodles, tomago, moyashi, seaweed, and pork in the world’s most delicious broth. Each region and even city has its style of ramen, and they come in a wide variety of styles such as Shoyu, Shio, and Miso.
The Service
Another reason why I love to travel to Japan is for the fantastic service! Although tipping pretty much does not exist in Japan, the service is some of the best in the world. Every sushi, udon, ramen, Izakaya restaurant has top-notch service, and it’s not because they are expecting you to tip them, but because Japan is a service-oriented country. If you happen to tip and leave a few Yen on your table, it’s likely going to result in your waiter running after you to give it back.
It’s considered an insult to leave a tip throughout most of Japan, so enjoy getting top-notch service without paying extra.
The Sake
Sake is an alcoholic Japanese rice wine. It is delicious and if you have never had it, I urge you to order a carafe, or tokkuri, next time you see it on a menu. Sake is Japan’s national beverage and is often served on special occasions in the tokkuri, a small porcelain bottle, and then poured and sipped from a sakazuki. You can either have sake chilled, warm, or room temperature. Generally speaking, cheap sake is warmed to mask the taste while fine sakes are slightly chilled to savor the flavor. An average sake is very affordable in Japan and can be enjoyed at any meal you have out.
The Free Green Tea!
I’ve never visited any Japanese sushi restaurant and not been offered free green tea, and I love it. My favorite is the DIY sushi conveyor belt restaurants that provide green tea powder in front of you, with your own cup, and a hot water dispenser at your seat. Drink as much as you want.
In case you missed it – Green tea has significant health benefits like improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer.
