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.

Shimonoseki is in the prefecture of Yamaguti (Yamaguchi)

Welcome to Shimonoseki, the gateway to fresh seafood and captivating maritime history! Grab your chopsticks and prepare to be spoiled by our famous fugu (blowfish) delicacies while basking in the cheerful atmosphere of Karato Market. But it's not all about food here; feel the thrill of Shimonoseki's fierce rivalry with Moji through our annual giant tug-of-war festival, where we'll confetti the streets with your worries and leave you yelling, "Tug, not drugs!" Don't worry, we won't thrill you to death; the vibrant Chofu area offers tranquil temples and picturesque cherry blossoms for those feeling cute, but also in need of some Zen..
