Top 10 Frolics and Fun in Japan

• Visit every temple and shrine. A few minutes of silence and meditation is a real treat.
• Be an open-minded foodie! Taste all the unique cuisines Japan has to offer.
• Hangout with the cool sumos or better yet, morph into one for a fun wrestle.
• Join a samurai training with modern-day Musashi in Kyoto. Miyamoto Musashi is known to history as Japan's most notorious swordsman.
• Stay in a ryokan with tatami mat floor coverings where you get to wear a yukata, enjoy an onsen bath, and sleep on a futon bed. A highlight of any ryokan stay is the elaborate multi-course dinner, also known as kaiseki ryokri. This is Japanese haute cuisine at its best.
• Take a day trip to Hiroshima and then hop on a ferry to Miyajima Island. The contrast of the Atomic Bomb Dome against the backdrop of the rebuilt city was truly inspiring.
• Walk around Tsukiji Fish Market for some serious food  therapy. Think legendary street foods, the freshest sushi, and to-die-for omakase spots. It's one of the best places in Tokyo to enjoy fresh seafood.
• See a geiko in Gion. Gion is known as a historic geisha district, where the art of the geisha, known as "geiko" in Kyoto dialect, has been preserved for centuries.
• Walk across Shibuya Crossing. This is the world's largest and busiest pedestrian crossing and is also one of the most photographed scenes in Tokyo.
• Take a trip to Nara where sacred deers just roam freely. Nara's deer have even been designated a national treasure.
