Ah, Japan! Where ancient temples coexist harmoniously with robotic technology, a country that's as punctual as your alarm clock, yet happily throws 2-hour tea ceremonies. It's where you can find the freshest sushi, just a vending machine away, and where it's totally cool to sleep on the job, as long it's not while slurping your ramen. From the charm of Kyoto's geisha district to Tokyo's neon-lit allure, Japan is both your Zen retreat and tech paradise rolled into one.

Nagahama is in the prefecture of Siga (Shiga)

Welcome to Nagahama, the gem of Shiga! Nestled on the peaceful shores of Lake Biwa, this charming city has everything a wanderlust soul could desire.
