Japan, located in East Asia, is an extraordinarily beautiful island nation famed for its diverse blend of centuries-old traditions and cutting-edge technology. Known for its impressive cluster of skyscrapers in Tokyo, the ancient temples and geishas of Kyoto, the mesmerizing cherry blossoms in Hakone, and the delectable sushi and ramen, Japan offers a wealth of unrivaled experiences. The country is renowned for its impressive Shinkansen, or bullet trains, that deliver travelers across its four main islands while providing breathtaking scenic views. Japan also stands out for its respect for nature, which is reflected in its numerous stunning gardens and gorgeous Mount Fuji, a dormant volcano and the country's highest peak.

Tokyo was amazing!! A friend and I visited to celebrate graduation, and mostly stayed with my family as well as a couple nights in cheap hotels. As a big thrifting + vintage goods enthusiast, Shimo-Kitazawa was definitely my favorite neighborhood. My only two warnings would be to 1) be aware that upskirting is a problem (but mostly not a concern for foreigners) and 2) it’s easy to get separated on the trains during rush hour. Otherwise, Tokyo is incredibly safe and easy to get around, even as someone whose Japanese isn’t perfect.

Safety is on maximum 
There are lots of things to see, to do, to visit, in Japan they have a really good railway system, so it's easy to visit other smaller cities from Tokyo just by metro. 
Talking about food, it's pretty cheap, but there are lots of tasty spots. It's better to check ticktock recommendations,  but everything with matcha is a must-have. However, it was uneasy to find more or less healthy food, thank God I brought buckwheat with me from Russia.
Personally, I spent about 1500 for 2 weeks, including rent (4 people in one apartment), shopping, and everything else but airplane tickets.
