Just Back from Japan (2) 🌸🌿

5️⃣ For a Kansai self-guided tour, it's recommended to stay in Umeda or Namba, Osaka. Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe can all be day trips. Japan's transportation is very developed, making it easy to travel back and forth the same day, saving you the hassle of cleaning up luggage and changing rooms. 🧳 6️⃣ Japanese shopping malls have short operating hours, usually from 11 am to 8 pm. Remember to finish tax refunds before 8 pm on the same day. 🛍️ 7️⃣ Japanese people generally don't have breakfast, and there are few breakfast shops. Most restaurants open after 11 am, so there's not much to do if you wake up too early in Japan. ⏰ 8️⃣ Japan has strict waste management, and there are almost no trash cans on the streets. It's advisable to bring a trash bag with you for convenience. 🗑️ #JapanTravelTips 🌸 #AvoidingPitfalls 🌿 #TravelHacks 🍃
