Do all the larger cities have a 5pm bell or just Tokyo?

Most cities and towns of any size.

A wise man visits Nagoya once. Only a fool visits it twice.

Hiroshima is a very chill city to just hang out in. It seems to have a much more relaxed vibe than other similarly sized Japanese cities. Definitely not just a huge A-bomb museum.

Also go to a Carp game if at all possible.

Very funny that the foreign site makes you do full width/half width stuff. Good bit.

It's like making tourists visiting an izakaya participate in some light nomikai hazing as part of the experience.

Unfortunately I have yet to see a Western tourist in begging need of funds in Tokyo, because that would be a lot of loving fun.

It's done in the US, but there is definitely a generational divide. I try to stay away from using cash in the US because if the register is being run by someone under 25 they might BSOD.

Just got back from my Japan trip and had an amazing time. Among other things, I managed to collect goshuin from 72 shrines/temples in 4 goshuincho and it was such a fun and rewarding experience. Can't recommend it enough.



Accidentally pasted one on the front cover of the first book lol
