I am sorry for falling for the stereotype but I would love to visit Tokyo. It would be my first in Japan and as an European I find myself drawn to Tokyo’s technological and futuristic image of a metropoli. As a second choice I’d go to Kyoto, for a more ancient culture and tradional experience. HOPE I WIN

I lived in Japan for a couple of years and tried to visit as many cities as possible. Kyoto is the ultimate city, filled with so many undiscovered areas. However, if I were to visit again, I would definitely got to Hiroshima! It reminded me of my city, Melbourne because of the riverside, trams, history and the okonomiyaki there is the best! Also, Miyajima is nearby, which is such a beautiful place.

I would love to visit basically any city/town in Japan as unfortunately I have not been to Japan yet… (Even though I love the culture and food!) If I have to name one one city I would really like to visit would be Kyoto, because I have a good friend who lives there and I would like to see her again!
