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.
